After landing in Las Vegas for the World Tea Expo, a friendly Ethiopian taxi driver shared tales of Tuareg nomads and their desert tea. Their sweet, mint-heavy Moroccan brew, familiar across the Middle East, is both hospitality and survival, a cooling ritual to enjoy hot or iced with rock sugar.

The World Tea Expo overflowed with cool innovations, delicious New Zealand oolongs, fascinating teaware, and lively tea business discoveries. Adagio Teas won Best Specialty Tea Brand, shared new samples like Melonberry Green, Hot Cinnamon, and Decaf Hazelnut Crème, met clients face to face, and left inspired until the next expo!

Warm weather invites lighter clothes, beach-body goals, and fresh tea trends. Fit teas, turmeric blends, chai additions, and spa waters offer cafés refreshing ways to meet health-minded customers. With honest marketing, fruit, herbs, mint, ginger, and cold brews, businesses can teach benefits, stay seasonal, and sip toward summer success brightly.

Matcha brings serene, alert energy, antioxidants, and cafe-ready versatility. This shade-grown green tea powder shines in Japanese ritual, health-focused sales, lattes, iced drinks, and creamy frappes. Whisk with 180° water, sweeten, add milk, or blend with ice. Try flavored matcha and experiment until your menu says yum, all matcha everything.

Wonder no more about teapots: cast iron keeps heat for black and herbal teas; unglazed ceramic suits steady daily brews but remembers flavors; yixing clay grows seasoned with oolongs; porcelain favors delicate greens and whites; glass showcases blooming teas. Experiment widely, because each pot shapes warmth, flavor, beauty, and ritual.

As 2017 begins tumultuously, tea offers clarity, solace, and gentle connection. Purveyors can share leafy goodness through healing, meditation, and supportive blends that comfort emotions, soothe bodies, and focus minds. From Daydream to Sencha, rooibos to Cha Cha, every cup can soften division, nurture customers, and inspire daily happy sips.

Kombucha, an ancient Asian tea drink, is brewed with sweet tea and a scoby, a probiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. Sour, astringent, and customizable, it can be flavored with teas, fruits, juices, or herbs. With clean glass equipment, ferment sweet tea, add starter, wait, flavor, ferment again, and enjoy.

Tea and spice make a lovely pair, and Adagio now brings that harmony to wholesale clients with a new bulk spice section. Direct sourcing means savings on one-pound bags and 25-pound chests of clove, cardamom, hibiscus, and rose hips, with cinnamon and ginger coming soon. Blend, customize, sell, and enjoy!

During summer months, iced teas reign supreme. Summer 2016 picks lean tropical and refreshing: Passionfruit Black, Peach Oolong, White Strawberry, Blood Orange and Calypso Green. Matcha Peach and Matcha Raspberry keep trends strong, especially with lemonade or coconut water. Stock seasonal favorites and say goodbye to summer slow-down. Happy July!

Spring is here, so plan iced tea offerings now to stay ahead of seasonal demand. Peach teas, boosted by Teavana/Starbucks, should keep trending, along with hibiscus herbals and lemonade blends. Perennial favorites include mango, blueberry, strawberry and mint. Watch big beverage advertising, as commercials shape consumer cravings all summer long.

Exciting news for our wholesale clients! Flavored Matcha is now available in peach, chocolate, mocha, cinnamon-apple and raspberry, with no added sugar. We’ve added bulk cloves, rose hips, hibiscus and cardamom seeds for blending, plus energizing Gaucho Mate Chai. Keep sharing product suggestions; your feedback helps grow our line beautifully!

March thrills tea people as spring harvest approaches. The finest specialty teas are bought early, yet weather shapes everything: mist, frost, drought and chill can delay picking, reduce outturn and shift flavors. Embrace the natural roller coaster, prepare tasting cups, and guide customers through each year’s subtle, delicious differences confidently.

As luck would have it, Japan’s tea fields offered lessons in sencha, from Kagoshima’s warm, organic-minded farms and deep-steamed, broth-like fukamushi to Shizuoka’s cooler, grassy asamushi beneath Fuji. Meeting proud, welcoming farmers revealed terroir, volcanic beauty, and a culture steeped in care, curiosity, and unforgettable cups for any tea lover.

The matcha tea trend is thriving, thanks to easy preparation, rich flavor, health benefits, and versatility. This Japanese powdered green tea whisks into frothy cups, lattes, desserts, or water bottles. Add matcha, accessories, and gift sets to your offering this holiday season; order early, stock up, and beat the rush.

For seasonal promos, tempt sippers and home steepers with tea-and-cider infusions. Steep spiced teas directly in warm cider or brew a strong concentrate and dilute to taste. Cider’s sweetness usually suffices; brown sugar can soften sharpness. Try chais, blood orange and favorites. Share recipe cards and serve hot or iced.

Hot tea season is coming, so plan your autumn menu now and stock up early. Ease into fall with apple, peach, spice, pumpkin, cranberry, pomegranate and nutty favorites, including new caffeine-free Honeybush Pumpkin Chai. Try mulling teas into cider, and feature Genmaicha or Keemun Concerto for traditional warmth. Happy planning!

As tea’s wellness reputation blossoms, blenders should meet curiosity with care: research herbs beyond casual sources, heed contraindications, and rely on reputable studies. Flavor still matters, though medicinal expectations allow leeway; peppermint, licorice, and cinnamon soften harsh notes. Rooibos and honeybush offer sweet, beneficial foundations for appealing, lasting wellness tisanes.

With tea’s renaissance in full swing, spirited sippers are a natural next steep. Businesses can boost picnic and festival sales with recipe cards for cocktails or mocktails, from Watermelon Fizz to Ginger Lemon Lime Martinis and Sweet Southern Rose. Substitute favorite teas, add garnish, and enjoy tea-centric happy hour fun.

Peach is popping on the summer flavor radar, likely fueled by national promotions and consumers. Smaller retailers should be ready with peach-forward teas: White Peach, Peach Oolong, Ginger Peach, and caffeine-free Rooibos Peach. Consider custom blends with blueberry, strawberry, or almond to create refreshing iced offerings unique to your business.

Tea is natural, and there’s no rushing Mother Nature. Spring harvests depend on rain, wind, sun and temperature, leaving tasters, buyers and budgets waiting. In difficult years, staples may accept lesser lots while rare teas disappear. Specialty tea rewards patience; occasionally, loving it means accepting sacrifice and explaining nature’s whims.

Brewing instructions on tea packages are helpful suggestions, not rules. Because water, taste, and purpose vary, experiment before dismissing a tea. Steep black teas longer for milk-friendly strength; try cooler, slower methods for nuanced greens. Adjust leaf, time, and temperature, and let each cup reveal its best character to you.

Spring’s arrival invites a refreshed tea menu: bright lemon, apricot, currant, and cherry greens for sunny days, warming spiced blends for raw April showers. Offer crisp Sencha, Dragonwell, Silver Needle, Ali Shan, and rich Fujian blacks to pair with lighter fare and holiday sweets, welcoming guests from winter’s long hibernation.

Inspiration arrived through a bourbon documentary, revealing devotion, craft and reverence that mirrored tea’s own quiet magic. From water and grain to barrels and flavor, every detail mattered, yet enjoyment remained personal and unjudged. Though tea stays beloved, shared passion sparked fresh blends, reminding us to sip, savor and celebrate.

February’s chill invites tea purveyors to dream ahead: iced menus, spring changes, and warming trends like lattes and matcha. Brew bold teas, steam milk, sweeten with syrup, then play with chai, Earl Grey, chocolate, caramel, mint, and pretty garnishes. After all, coffee lovers shouldn’t have all the latte fun alone.

Healthy habits start young, so tuck tea gifts under the tree for little sippers. Fruity, candy-kissed, caffeine-free rooibos and fruit blends please persnickety kids while avoiding sugary drinks and holiday bouncing. Choose ready-made Tree House, Story Time, or Fairy Tales teabag sets, with playful blends, images, reviews, and wholesale details.

Customers seeking functional herbal blends can now enjoy an easier option with AdagioXL’s expanded wellness line.

Chai may simply mean tea, yet US drinkers crave it as bold, sweet, milky spice. Autumn heightens demand for warming blends, from classic black masala to caffeine-free rooibos. Market them plainly as chai, deliver fiery flavor, and guide brewing with milk, sweetener, and recipes to win loyal return business customers.

As crisp New England evenings herald autumn, pumpkin mania arrives with a wink. Coffee giants and Dairy Queen are already stirring cravings, spending big to make pumpkin ubiquitous. Tea purveyors should ride the buzz: stock Pumpkin Spice tea, bake scones, craft drinks, bundle gifts, and welcome every pumpkin-loving eager customer.

Though Connecticut still shivers beneath bare trees, iced tea season glimmers ahead. With steaming oolong in hand, we dream of frosty glasses beaded with condensation, brightened by fresh herbs: mint, sage, cilantro, basil, thyme. Muddle them into favorite teas or summer salads for sunny pizzazz. Cheers to warmth, tea friends!

As winter melts away, welcome spring with new Green Rooibos Blueberry. Mild, naturally fruity green rooibos blends with rose hips, raspberry leaves, hibiscus, blueberries, cranberries, cornflowers, and natural blueberry flavor for a light, refreshing treat. Delicious hot and especially iced, it is already a popular pick for warmer menus everywhere.

Begin tea blending simply: keep a careful notebook, weigh each ingredient, and measure into separate bowls before combining. Use cupping sets to compare equal brews. Start with two teas at 50/50, 25/75, and 75/25, taste thoughtfully, note balance and dominance, then try three flavors to build your repertoire with confidence.

We’re busy tasting 2013 harvest samples, watching jasmine improve, and hoping everyone powers down before September’s hot tea rush returns.

Doesn’t National Strawberry Month sound delicious? Celebrate spring’s first sweet harvest with strawberry-inspired teas: lively Strawberry Black with Ceylon, or mellow Wild Strawberry bursting with berries, apple, hibiscus and rose hips. Brew them iced, pour over strawberry puree, sweeten with syrup, or add cream for silky seasonal joy. Ah, tea!

Advise clients seeking sleep to create gentle evening rituals: dim lights, breathe, bathe, and read calming fare. Caution them about caffeine’s lingering effects, including in some herbals. Recommend caffeine-free chamomile, rooibos, honeybush, valerian, or lavender, noting allergies and aromas. Discourage alcohol, which may induce drowsiness yet disrupts rest all night.

April’s chill lingers, but summer dreams are brewing. After winter storms, Adagio introduces Summer Rose, a Sri Lankan black tea blended with rose flavor and petals. Lovely hot and especially refreshing iced, it evokes porch swings, warm breezes, and roses in bloom—a fragrant addition for customers and tea blenders alike.

March brings festive occasions, but savvy tea businesses should prepare now for iced tea season.

Autumn breezes in with cool air, colorful trees, and prime tea time. Welcome cozy fall flavors by adding apples, pumpkins, nuts, cinnamon, clove, ginger, and cardamom to your menu. Spiced Apple Chai, Pumpkin Spice, Spiced Green, Candy Apple, and Almond Oolong celebrate harvest bounty and keep hot beverages happily flowing.

Once upon a summer lunch in Vermont, an unexpectedly enchanting iced ginger peach tea sparked a lifelong devotion to leafy deliciousness. Though tastes now wander to sencha and Darjeeling, peach season still calls. Adagio’s peach, ginger peach, and peach oolong teas honor that memory, delicious brewed hot or iced alike.

July arrives as tea’s sunny pause, perfect for beaches, picnics, vacations and cold refreshment. As iced tea gains favor, fruity blends shine, calorie-free and wonderfully guzzlable.

Seasonal tea makes festive gifts, welcomes new tea lovers, and spreads cozy autumn cheer everywhere.

September’s meteorological fall brings cooler days, back-to-school bustle, and renewed tea sipping. Tearooms should refresh Teamap listings, promote events early, and stock autumn flavors—pumpkin, apple, cinnamon, pear, cranberry, pomegranate, and chai—plus nuanced oolongs, Keemuns, and toasty greens. In uncertain times, tea offers comfort, focus, energy, and love. Happy Autumn, teafolks!

Ah Dear Reader, June arrives sunlit and sweet after winter’s toil and spring’s troubles, bringing Dads, Grads, gardens and chances for Red Cross kindness. Celebrate National Iced Tea Month with refreshing low-sugar brews: Ceylon Sonata, Mango Black, Grapefruit Oolong, Raspberry Green, White Cucumber and Wild Strawberry, each delicious, summer ready.

Last month’s China tea journey with Adagio was warm, exhausting, and dreamlike. Friendly hosts shared craft, cuisine, and culture; misty Anxi gardens fulfilled every imagined vision of tea. Though travel and strange foods tested weary bodies, each field, farmer, cup, photo, and memory brought beloved tea friends along in spirit.

May blooms with spring promise, bringing busy tearooms, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, and playful celebrations like Zombie and Imaginary Friend Awareness Months. Serve floral teas such as Jasmine Bloom, Earl Grey Lavender, and White Peony, then berry blends iced as summer nears. Enjoy flowers, sunshine, and cherished imaginary friends nearby.

Spring has sprung, and tealeaves are calling! The author joyfully announces a China tea journey with colleagues Suzette Hammond and Lydia Liu, visiting gardens, growing regions, and production sites.

We’re delighted to share February’s requested blends: Rooibos Lemon Cloud, a naturally caffeine-free lemon-cream rooibos with dreamy dessert notes, sunflower petals, and lemongrass, lovely hot or iced; and Earl Grey Lavender, a soothing, aromatic black tea that softens citrus with floral sweetness.

March brings whispers of spring harvests, and perhaps, if fortune smiles, an early first flush Darjeeling for our cups. Now is a lovely time to refresh tea lists with finer single estate offerings. Lean on trusted purveyors and free Tea Class guidance, then share knowledge with staff and customers. Enjoy!

Green rooibos has arrived just in time to brighten this unforgiving winter. Naturally caffeine-free, lighter than red rooibos, fruity and softly herbaceous, it charms even skeptics. Blended with sweet summery fruits, these tropical cups offer customers a snow-free mini-vacation, perfect for mid-winter luaus, warm daydreams, and grateful sipping away. Aahhh

Frosty February needs Valentine’s cheer, and nothing warms midwinter doldrums like chocolate teamed with tea. From strawberry-kissed Valentine’s and indulgent Chocolate Chip to brownie-rich Tiger Eye, spiced Chocolate Chai, and nutty Mocha Nut Mate, these blends swoon. Creative cupids can mix chocolate with fruit, nuts, vanilla, or cream for romance.

2010 tested tea retailers: growing U.S. tea culture brought renewed interest, yet harsh weather thinned early crops and complicated buying. Rejecting weak lots risked empty shelves; accepting improved ones meant painful prices. For popular blends, patience proved wiser. Each precious leaf reminded sellers and customers how nature shapes every cup.

Looking to add merriment to your holiday tea offering? Try time-tested favorites: Gingerbread, warmly spiced and latte-ready; Cranberry, tangy with orange; Chestnut, perfect fireside sipping; Candy Cane, sweetly merrymint; Sweet Potato Pie, uncommon candied delight; and popular Spiced Apple Chai, an apples-and-spices holiday home run. Yum! Be sure to sip!

After years of requests, Adagio Teas welcomes Yerba Mate: pure, toasted, and flavorful blends. This energizing herbal, caffeinated like green tea, brews smooth at 150F for 3-5 minutes. Toasted mate suits chocolate, hazelnut, and spice; green mate loves mango and citrus. Sip, share, taste, and tell us what you think!

September invites tea businesses to freshen shelves with cozy fall favorites. Highlight caramel black, pumpkin spice, rooibos cinnamon apple, spiced apple chai, masala chai, pomegranate, and sweet potato pie. From harvest fruit to warming spices and sweet comfort, these blends delight customers, warm cool days, and brew autumn yumminess beautifully.

Modern tea businesses need more than a simple website: digital tools can attract, inform and engage online customers. Google AdWords offers targeted, transparent advertising, while Facebook builds relationships and word-of-mouse sharing. Directories, bloggers and newsletters further expand visibility. Combined, these efforts help tea enterprises compete effectively in today’s online marketplace.

July brings blueberry season, and local growers are bursting with bright, flavorful berries. Celebrate with blueberry-inspired teas: light White Blueberry, caffeine-free Berry Blues with hibiscus tartness, and fuller-bodied Blueberry Black, all delicious hot or iced. For easy pitchers, brew in the 32-ounce IngenuiTEA, dispense over ice, chill perfectly, and enjoy!

Few herbs are as beloved as mint, an ancient infusion prized for fresh breath, digestion, calm, and cooling comfort. From Menthe’s myth to sprawling garden roots, peppermint and spearmint remain favorites. Steeped plain, sweetened Moroccan-style with gunpowder green tea, or served iced, mint offers bright aroma and soothing refreshment worldwide.

As warm days arrive, trade steaming cups for homemade iced tea: steep quality leaves, pour over ice, and personalize freely. Choose bright plain teas or flavored bases, then add sweeteners, fruit, herbs, spices, juices, pretty garnishes, or tea cubes. Be adventurous; chilled tea can become your daily sublime refreshment delight.

June ushers in berry-licious strawberry season, perfect for celebrating with fresh dishes and refreshing strawberry teas. Adagio’s Strawberry Black and Wild Strawberry, brimming with real dried berries, pair beautifully with festival fare. Teashops can tempt customers through local events or in-house strawberry fests, complete with recipes, cards, and summer charm.

When the world reels with disaster, fear, and sorrow, pause with fresh leaves. Choose tea by fragrance, prepare vessel and water mindfully, breathe, watch, steep, sip, and notice each layered note. Such simple pleasures from Camellia sinensis cannot mend events, but they restore hope, focus, comfort, and gratitude for patrons.

Once praised by a Song emperor, white tea has emerged from Chinese obscurity to enchant the world with delicate sweetness, brightness, and beauty. Silver Needle and White Peony, Fujian’s treasures, demand exacting spring harvests. Prepared gently with cool water and patient steeping, they yield a sublime, fragrant cup of refinement.

March is perfect for celebrating spring and Irish cheer by inviting customers back to green tea. Brew gently—about one teaspoon, 180°F, under three minutes—to avoid bitter “bad medicine.” Offer easy samples: apricot, citrus, vanilla, toasty Genmaicha, smoky Gunpowder, maybe mint, and encourage tasting until enjoyment blooms in every cup served.

February’s chill invites sweet tea celebrations, from groundhog hopes to Valentine hearts. Stock romantic blends like strawberry-chocolate, Wild Strawberry, Fruit Medley, and caramel-kissed Tiger Eye. Host couples’ tastings with global teas, treats, and notes. Offer themed gift tiers, from samplers to classic blends to connoisseur treasures. Keep love steeping brightly.

Winter storms bring hardy dark-eyed juncos to New England feeders, their slate feathers and bright courage charming the author amid snow and bitter winds. Their cheer inspires thoughts of winter comforts: warming teas, from Blood Orange Herbal and Rooibos Vanilla Chai to mango, Christmas spice, White Tropics, and Keemun Rhapsody.

With winter tea season still steeping, keep menus lively by introducing new teas with clear descriptions, trained staff, and risk-free samples. Guide customers through smart cross-sells, caffeine-free options, and familiar flavor bridges. Building variety delights guests, grows tea awareness, and protects businesses from relying on vulnerable seasonal super sellers alone.

Share ideas!

Autumn, ever my season of change, found me leaving pinching retail shoes for an unexpected cup of opportunity. A coworker’s notice of my tea devotion led to a tiny tea company, wondrous catalogs, patient tasting lessons, evolving palates, dear colleagues, Adagio, and ten years steeped in adventure, friendship and gratitude.

Tea season is rolling in! As customers return to school, work and caffeine-fueled routines, plan now: review last year’s sales, order bestsellers and giftware early, spotlight under-$25 presents, refresh shelves with autumn and holiday flavors, and host tastings. A little preparation keeps shoppers happy and your business steeping in success!

Tearooms are delighting newcomers, yet too often the tea itself plays second fiddle to sandwiches and sweets. In this enlightened, tea-loving age, proprietors should give the leaf its props: broaden menus, share simple tea tidbits, offer black, green, oolong, white and caffeine-free choices, and create a truly steeped, memorable experience.

Summer’s arrival makes iced tea the beverage of the season. June’s Iced Tea Month invites shops to refresh menus with gourmet loose-leaf blends, creative flavors, and impeccable freshness. From water to leaf to turnover, thoughtful brewing and exciting seasonal offerings can charm customers, boost sales, and inspire delicious at-home sipping.

As warm days arrive, trade steaming cups for creative iced tea. Brew quality leaves hot, pour over ice to chill clearly, then enjoy plain or personalize with sweeteners, fruit, herbs, spices, juice, garnishes, or tea cubes. Bright, floral, fruity teas shine; experiment freely and make refreshing daily concoctions this summer.

Blooming teas have blossomed into popular showpieces, thanks to hand-tied leaves that unfurl into flowers, chains, and charming shapes. Choose sturdy, fresh blooms, preferably individually wrapped, then judge both spectacle and sip. Elaborate designs may sacrifice flavor, while jasmine often delights. Serve in roomy clear glassware and rehearse before celebration.

May brings glorious weather, celebrations, and the call for perfectly brewed iced tea. Try guanabana or coconut pouchong for tropical Cinco de Mayo cheer, caffeine-free fruit tisanes for Memorial Day, and blooming teas or cool white cucumber for Mother’s Day gatherings. Happy May—and don’t worry, there are no tea police!

With winter fading and spring blooming, April invites tea events for Easter, Passover, Earth Day and tax day. Pair chocolate teas with treats, offer green favorites for freshness, spicy blends for chilly showers and earthy pu erh for conversation. Refresh assortments, complement fare, and celebrate renewal, warmth and happy sipping.

Keep Irish Breakfast tea at the ready for St. Patrick’s Day: a bold, malty Assam-rich brew that loves cream, sugar, scones, soda bread, and Kerry Gold. Loose leaf wins newcomers with fuller flavor. Add Irish cream or whiskey responsibly, skip green beer, and beware leprechauns turning milk green overnight, too.

Make Valentine’s Day events sparkle by pairing meals and sweets with thoughtful tea choices: classic Darjeeling or Ti Kuan Yin, dessert-like Tiger Eye, Honeybush Hazelnut, Chocolate Chip, and Valentine’s blends. Add warming spice with chai, cinnamon, Oriental Spice, or Ginger Peach, and match fruity, caramel, vanilla flavors to desserts beautifully.

What a year ahead for tea! In 2009, affordable luxury, comfort, and escape should keep fine tea thriving. Expect exotic fruits, faithful Earl Grey and breakfasts, ever-warming chai, coconut-kissed blends, daring savory pairings, and better-understood oolongs to charm cups everywhere. Happy sipping, rebuilding, and re-growth in a hopeful new year!

Tea may be simple, but wholesale sourcing is murky. Ask suppliers where teas originate, favor transparency, high turnover, retail insight, and references. Avoid resellers hiding sources and “vintage” stale stock. A worthy partner adds value through access, freshness, information, and character. If answers disappoint, keep looking for a better source.

Autumn’s bright colors soften to honey and russet as bare branches tremble, mirroring uncertain markets and futures. In such shifting times, tea and teatime offer solace: a cookie, conversation, laughter, high mountain oolong. Brewing and sipping these leaves releases worries, restores calm, and lifts cups toward gentler days ahead together.

Born of necessity, Genmai Cha stretched scarce tea with plentiful roasted rice, once marking a poor man’s cup. Made with humble bancha, it later charmed the fashionable, gaining better leaves, popped corn, and nutty sweetness. Today it remains a welcoming gateway to green tea, especially when crafted with spring leaves.

Rooibos may be the celebrated African red tea, but Honeybush is her sweet, sultry sister. Grown in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, this caffeine-free tisane brews smooth, fruity, honeyed, and never bitter. Gentler than Rooibos, blending beautifully, it offers body, reputed wellness benefits, and late-night charm in every quiet cup, too.

Once praised by a Song emperor, white tea has emerged from Chinese obscurity to enchant the world. From revered Silver Needle to White Peony, its finest leaves are spring-picked under exacting conditions. Prepared gently, with cool water and patient steeping, it yields sublime sweetness, brightness, aroma, and elegance each cup.

Ceylon, today Sri Lanka, rose to tea fame through Sir Thomas Lipton, his brisk marketing, and the bright black teas replacing coffee after disease. Now a leading exporter, its finest leaves are high-grown in Dimbula, Uva and Nuwara Eliya, especially dry months, while broken grades enliven blends with color, brightness.

Great tea begins with good water, that rare and precious jewel too often taken for granted at the faucet. Bad water can turn ethereal leaves brackish, hiding their craft. Taste, smell, and mineral stains reveal the need. Simple or customized filtration lets tea shine exactly as growers and purveyors intended.

Just back from World Tea Expo in Las Vegas, we’re delighted that Adagio’s Jasmine Tea Bloom won finalist honors in the hand tied tea category. Crafted from white tea buds and jasmine blossoms, it charms eye and tongue. Oolong #18, Raspberry Patch, Jasmine #12, and Earl Grey Bravo were semifinalists.

Few herbs are as beloved as mint, an ancient remedy and enduring infusion. From mythic Menthe to vigorous garden perennial, spearmint and peppermint refresh breath, ease digestion, calm headaches, and cool teas. Moroccan Touareg blends spearmint, gunpowder green tea, and sugar; dried leaves keep their potency for months when sealed.

Guide customers beyond teas by featuring a discounted Tea of the Day, distinguishing special monthly selections, and knowing each promoted tea well. Offer stories, benefits, flavors, and reasons to try it. Thoughtful, trustworthy recommendations invite exploration, build customer confidence, expand palates, and keep guests returning for favorites and discoveries.

Masala Chai remains my comfort tea: spicy herbs steeped in strong, milky sweetness, reviving late nights and travel dreams. Adagio introduces Masala Chai and Vanilla Rooibos Chai, delicious with amber sugar crystals. Steep boldly, prepare concentrate for hot or iced service, and shake with milk for creamy refreshment all summer.

Darjeeling’s glory is scarcity: tiny mountain gardens, steep, misted, cold, yield little but demand devotion. China-type bushes, hand-plucked shoots, Orthodox invoices, and fickle winds, sun, rain, altitude and season give each lot its personality. In great years, especially First Flush, the tea is flowery, astringent, often costly, and utterly incomparable.

Do not let tea become the overlooked afterthought in an otherwise thoughtful business. As awareness grows, guests will judge quality by the cup. Choose premium pyramid bags carefully, or better yet, serve loose leaf with proper tools. Fresh, beautiful tea adds panache, pleases clients, and shows attention to every detail.

Year Two must transform Tea Smart’s monologue into a fruitful dialogue. Tearoom owners should share insights, feedback, and resources, resisting cola-war rivalries in an untapped gourmet tea market. Collaboration—bulk cups, coordinated tea purchases, common education—cuts costs, reduces failures, and lifts all boats. Good karma, it seems, is good business indeed.

Specialty tea is finally steeping into America’s beverage mainstream, fueled by long-awaited positive media, health headlines and premium service. Green tea remains red hot, threatening sluggish black tea unless PR touts its benefits.
