Dear Angie,

Please do answer all promotional and free coupons for tea at all time!!

It's not only to try it is also for taste testing~

It gets you a free cup of tea I highly recommend this~ also please check all bruised and reduced carts in many food stores~ they mark down tea for next to nothing at times~ for a damaged box or even if the store will no longer carry an item~

Have fun looking!

I've never seen tea on a reduced for quick sale rack. I sometimes purchase tea and other items at a place like Ollies. They feature oddball items.

Dear Angie,

Sometimes for whatever reason, the store, has to pull the items because perhaps they won't be selling the brand anymore.. I have seen teas with absolutely nothing wrong with them in the quick sale cart just because it is a lower performer in that store!

75% off!! I grabbed up what I could.

It was like finding money on the street! Also sometimes cute little treats "ie: shortbread cookies" in some places considered seasonal.....yep in my tummy!! smile

Let me know if you have found anything delightful in your store!

Dear Tea Readers,

I ran across some new tea in a can~

It is certified organic. It is also fair trade certified.

I bought it in a 12 pack w/the three different flavors.
I bought it at a "warehouse" store.

They are 100% natural, 120 mg antioxidant, sweetened with cane sugars.(they are not sugar free)

They are from the Steaz company. Can be reached on-line at steaz(dot)com.

I found them very tasty over ice.

*I have no affiliation whatsoever with this company~ It is just another new tea product that has hit the market and I wanted to share this with you~


Enjoy.

Mary, thanks for the info. Over ice isn't very appealing at the moment but I do enjoy iced tea.

LOL! at one time I drank gallons of iced tea. It was always a challenge to prepare the perfect tea. Then, for a number of years I stopped making the tea but last year I began making some for myself.

We made it with loose tea. The secret is to make sure that the sugar is dissolved in the hot water. My mother boiled the water, added the loose tea, and a smidgen of baking soda. I can drink it with lemon but it is not my favorite. In order to cut down on the sugar I will make the tea with the tea bag and a flavored tea eg., Plantation Mint or Lemon.

You're right, spring is around the corner. Yippee!

Angie -- I've never heard of anyone using baking soda in their tea. What effect does that give the iced tea?

Well as I best recall, it helped preventing clouding and it helped keep the tea turning dark. We used Tetley loose tea years back and it had a rosy/ruddy color.

When I make my tea now I use tea bags but I bring the water to a boil; throw in the tea bags (which is what we would do with the loose tea); turn it off and let it brew. Back in the day, the small amount of baking soda would go in right after the loose tea when in and before the heat was turned off. The hot water and tea would be added to the pitcher with sugar dissolving in some water. This is southern style "Sweet Tea."

Dear Ladies and gentleman tea readers, (angie & daisybun)

In my 7 years as a tea editor I truly have heard of the craziest things people, nationalities and otherwise foodies have put in their tea, although it's not too crazy, I never have heard of the baking soda thing before!

Earlier talking about passing tea ware down through the generations, so too are recipes, and cooking tips of many that have gone before us. Tried and true and as I always say:

If it works for you do it!

besides a pinch never hurt anyone~ smile
