I love a good small business but this family excels! The best teas ive had and such a great family run business to support. Seriously we got 6 different ones and love them all. The sweetest people. I make a chai tea latte every night now!
Their teas are delicious!! I never thought about cold steeping but it has completely changed my tea game. Their employees are always kind and willing to help! Highly recommend them to anyone, even those who think they don’t like tea.
My third purchase of these wonderful tea blends. I tired Sleeping beaut-tea to help me sleep. What a lovely flavor and relaxing effect. Added to my Detox blend already in my pantry and I am thrilled to reach for the amazing products. Family recipes and all natural ingredients. I am so happy to have access to local gems like this.
I had not heard of this business before trying one of their tea’s at a local pop up shop at the Merry and Bright Festival at Poplar Grove. Here I sampled a few of there tea’s and was absolutely blown away. Personally I love tea and am normally rather picky when it comes to it but they absolutely knocked it out of the park. Both tea’s were amazing with my personal favorite being the “ImmuniTEA”. The flavor is elegant but yet extremely well bodied unlike some other products that feel watered down and dull. Easily one of the best tea’s I’ve had and I just couldn’t leave without a pack for myself, especially with how nice the owners were, truly people you would want to support. To my fellow tea drinkers out there you’re really missing out, go give it a try!
We took a day trip to Wilmington to experience a scavenger hunt. Along our walk we came upon the Farmers Market and this stand. The gentleman we spoke with was so friendly and chatted with us and our kids about his wife’s teas. You could see how proud he was and how much he believed in his wife. All the teas he gave us to try were very good. We bought some and he was so sweet to give our kids the strawberry lemonade that they both loved! I will definitely be buying more and will tell all of my friends about these teas!!
