Do you have tea? What kind?

Believe it or not, we have gotten this question! Yes, we have over 70 different teas to choose from. We carry a variety of teas including but not limited to black, green, oolong and white. Our blends include: fruity, floral, earthy, smoky and many other flavor profiles. We also offer what we call “Novel-Teas”: special drinks made from a touch of imagination containing one or more teas and various combinations of milk, soda water and/or flavored syrups.

Where is your tea from?

We get our teas from local vendors where possible, and a direct importer when needed. Teas are sourced from various locations such as Japan, India, China, Nepal and Sri Lanka. When we blend our own teas, our flavor ingredients are sourced locally whenever possible.

How much does your tea cost per ounce?

Our tea prices vary. We have a menu ((link here?)) with individual price by tea per ounce.

Our “Kitchen Witch” line of teas are sold by the jar only and are priced at $20 per jar.

How many cups can you get out of one ounce of tea?

Since we sell by weight but measure for the cup by volume, one ounce will make between five and twelve cups of tea.

Is your tea healthy?

Tea is known to have health related benefits such as:

antioxidant properties

less caffeine than coffee

may reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke

may help protect your bones

may keep your smile bright

may boost the immune system

may soothe the digestive system

tea, on its own, is calorie, fat, gluten, and sugar free

Do you carry “wellness” teas or teas that help with illness?

We carry teas that contain ingredients, such as ginger, mint, lavender or turmeric. These ingredients and others may have beneficial effects to help with stomach problems, indigestion, relaxation, and inflammation as well as others.

Does your teas have healing properties?

While teas are known to have some health improving benefits and contain ingredients that may help with certain conditions, we are not medical professionals and cannot say that a certain tea or its ingredients will cure, relieve or improve any diseases or illnesses.

Do you blend you own teas?

We do make our own in-house blends and are always looking at new flavor combinations.

Does tea dehydrate you?

Tea is brewed in water which is the best way to hydrate the body, but it also contains caffeine which can act as a diuretic. Herbal teas or Tisanes do not contain caffeine, so do not have this effect.

What teas do you recommend?

Again, with so many choices, can be hard to narrow down your choices. We can tell you what our best sellers are and what we are drinking today. Additionally, with a little input from you as to you are looking for (fruity, green, strong, no-caffeine, etc) we can certainly make recommendations within that range. Otherwise, we have about 70+ recommendations for you!
