Organic Ancient Snow Sprout ~ Great Lakes Tea & Spice Co.

12 Nov 201420 Dec 2015

I have mentioned before how much I love Glen Arbor's Great Lakes Tea & Spice Co. and lament the loss of their Bloomfield Hills kiosk, but it doesn't seem like…

Chocolate Mint ~ Harney & Sons

10 Nov 201430 Jan 2016

This post is probably going to be either brief or late in coming or both. I'm a bit more busy this morning than I thought I'd be. Harney & Sons,…

SoHo ~ Harney & Sons

22 Oct 201420 Dec 2015

For one reason or another, Harney & Sons is probably the most popular loose leaf vendor in the Ann Arbor area. I don't have any real beef with Harney &…

Lapacho Herbal ~ TranquiliTea

17 Oct 201420 Dec 2015

Today I'm having a tea that's completely new to me! It's getting to be a pretty rare event so I'm kind of tickled. Lapacho, also known as Taheebo, is an…

Ntingwe Kwazulu ~ Taylors of Harrogate

Indian Sarsaparilla ~ Frontier

26 Sep 201430 Jan 2016

I've previously written about the wonderful bulk foods company, Frontier Co-op, but now it seems that they've further refined their concept and instead of the traditional glass jars, they're using large…

Asahi Gyokuro ~ By The Pound

To round off the week(~ish) of Japanese tea reviews, I dug through many a Tupperware container in the dark with curlers threatening to fly off me this morning to bring…

Noodles & Company ~ China Mist

25 Aug 201420 Dec 2015

I made some awesome (to me) discoveries this weekend I wanted to share on the tea front. It looks like for their premier market stores (the three in Michigan: Stadium…

The Battle of the Root Beer flavored Kombucha

15 Aug 201430 Jan 2016

Yup, the title says it all. Today I'm drinking two different kombucha teas that were intentionally made to resemble root beer (and don't). Live Soda Kombucha is one of the more…

Elderberry Hibiscus Kombucha ~ High Country

12 Aug 201420 Dec 2015

Unfortunately I haven't had much to report lately as i haven't, well: A. been myself; and B. had funds for finding new tea. But this week I encountered a few…

Tai Ping Hou Kui ~ TeaVana

29 Jul 201430 Jan 2016

Bushman’s Skinny Tea ~ Spice Merchants

27 Jul 201420 Dec 2015

When i started into tea as a hobby, i'd never heard of Rooibos, let alone had any idea how to pronounce it (I've since heard it said four different ways).…
