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.

  1. This looks like it would mix pretty well with a tea that could use some sweetening. Fermented fruit? Sounds like it's healthy also, depending on how it's produced. I'd love to try some. --Jason

  2. The Aloe Vera one is great! It's really light and subtle and it has some floaties, but they taste pretty good! Definitely a new favorite and it will be a hit at my tea party! Thanks for being my tea pusher! <3
