Happy New Year!

Time for Tea!

I know, it's warm and lovely out today, but the colder weather is right around the corner.  And what's better on a cold day than a cup of hot tea?

Introducing a new limited edition tea: Yuletide Revels.  This robust Assam tea (organic and fair-trade) is blended with organic roasted cacao nibs, cinnamon, cloves, orange peel, and locally grown lemon verbena and bronze fennel.  It's a warming spice tea with a little extra depth, just perfect for the holidays.  Try it by the cup in the Local Roots Cafe -- or pick up a pack from my tea shelves at Local Roots.

Also on my tea shelves at Local Roots: tea samplers.  Can't commit to just one tea?  Each box contains four bags each of four different blends:

--teas: Ceylon Sunshine, Earl's Garden, English Rose, Green Light
--herbal tisanes (caffeine free): Honey and Lemon, Lavender Lemonade, Peppermint Twist, Spring Greening

Give them as gifts and keep a box in your desk for yourself!
