East is meeting west as Bigelow and AriZona teas team up to create a new line of organic ready to drink tea.

The flavors they are offering are:

Organic Green Tea Acai White Cranberry : Regarded as a miracle fruit by many, the acai berry’s tantalizing tropical flavor blends exquisitely with white cranberry to create a uniquely flavorful green tea.

·          Organic Green Tea Original Green: The pure, clean flavor of perfectly brewed, all natural green tea … light, refreshing and rich in nutritional benefits.

·          Organic Green Tea Lemon Ginger : Delightfully subtle yet tart, its delicate, lemony flavor is balanced with the gentle spice of ginger.

·          Organic Green Tea Mango Lychee : Fantastically fruity! Juicy mango and exotic lychee combine for a unique and delectable taste of refreshment.

They are made with organic sugar cane and sound like they might be a nice change from cokes and other heavily sweetened drinks when you want something besides water or plain sweet tea.

I wish that when companies send out press releases they would also send samples because it is really hard for me to talk about something I haven’t tried. I like Bigelow Teas, and I like that they are increasingly becoming more involved with organics. Arizona has always made really good stuff so I expect this will be good as well.  How could you go wrong with Green Tea, Mango, Lychee? YUM! Anyway, if they offer me a sample I will let you know what I think. If you happen to try it, let me know what you think…deal?

Teatulia Green tea was a nice surprise for me because….ummm..I don’t care for green tea. Well, o…I haven’t in the past.

I may have changed my mind.

I will say right off that of the coffees I got from Terra Nova, the Columbian is my favorite.  It is smooth, rich and has a velvety mouth feel.

I got the coffee package from Terra Nova today, complete with the three coffees I had ordered and two for me to review.

I was impressed.  They said that they would roast and send out immediately and they were not kidding.

The box smelled wonderful!  Within five minutes the kitchen smelled wonderful Read more

I told you a few weeks ago that I had discovered a small, artisan coffee roaster in North Carolina during one of my web surfing adventures. The website piqued my interest and I contacted them to see if I could get a sample to review.

You know, one thing that I am seeing in the craftsmen that I come in contact with is Read more

This is my favorite of the coffees that Green Mountain sent me.  It is a dark roast, and as I have said, I am partial to a dark roast.  The beans are very aromatic, you open the bag and your brain perks up..”coffee? did someone say coffee?” Read more

Every time I am in the store I check for cool teas that I haven’t tried. Quite honestly, I can’t continuously afford to order the really GOOD teas off-line or run to Teavana on a regular basis, and I am pretty sure most of you can’t either. So, my goal here is to find the best of the available teas (and coffees) and let you know. And..throw in some really special stuff as I can. I am not cool enough yet for the companies to seek me out for reviews and send me free tea and coffee. Read more

I liked it!

This coffee is blended from beans from East Africa, Latin America and Indonesia.  In a word I would describe it as…. Read more
