New Tea Forte!

 Summers not over yet so it's the perfect time to grab some fresh new summer teas! 

A new shipment of Tea Forte arrived not to long ago and I wanted to share some of new items we brought in. 

First, the Tea-Over-Ice system. This allows you to brew you favorite tea in the upper chamber then flash chill it by pouring it over the ice in the bottom chamber! Tea-Over-Ice makes making iced teas fast and easy. These two pitchers are hand blown and are designed to look beautiful on your table.

The perfect companion for the Over-Ice is this sample pack. The Nantucket Sampler pack includes a selection of white, black and herbals teas. Lavender Citrus and White Ginger Pear to name my favorites. This flavorful selection of teas is the perfect way to pick your favorite.

From iced to hot (or iced again). The Garden Harvest petite sampler is another great way to sample a selection of teas with out having to fully commit to a whole tin. This selection of white teas includes White cinnamon Sage, Wild Apple Ginger, Tangerine Rosemary, Tupelo Honey Fig, and Peach Rhubarb Preserve. My favorite of the bunch is Tangerine Rosemary which is great iced and is what I am currently drinking while I type up this post. 

New Product!

Gurgle Pots arrived today!

Lucky Bamboo Meanings

With the Arrival of new bamboo I thought I would share the different meanings of lucky bamboo! 

Yin - even 

• 2 - Double luck, happy relationships; good number. 
• 6 - Easy money, wealth, good flow of luck. 
• 8 - Good luck and fertility.
• 10 - Completeness and fulfillment in life.

Yang - odd 

• 1 - Simplicity and a meaningful life.

Why is there no four? Well in Chinese, four is close to the word for death, so it would be rude to wish death upon someone... no?
