Tea in a Jar


I know I am really bad at keeping the blog up to date but I will get better, promise!

So back in May I went to the annual tea trade show(World Tea Expo) in Las Vegas. The big change this year was the number of tea manufacturers who were trying to sell directly to those of us who usually use importers to get our teas. There were also two very interesting Korean tea sellers. The had herbals like Hydrangea, Aloe, Buckwheat, and Chrysanthemum tea as well as "tea in a jar" a fermented fruit in honey and sugar that has been a big seller. Just two tsp of the syrup in a large mug, add hot water and you have sweet fruit drink. So far I have had the ginger, pomegranete, citron and papaya.
