Blended to perfection, or close to it
Did you know that nothing is ever really static in the tea industry? Think about it for a minute – every year gardens grow more camellia sinensis, and those “two leaves and a bud” that are plucked for your daily cuppa’ tea are different from year to year. In fact, it’s a lot like wine and grapes, but few people who don’t work in the tea business probably think about this while they’re steeping tea leaves. So it makes sense that our founder and CEO, Richard Rosenfeld, spends a lot of time tasting different blends of tea. “It can be very difficult – every season we have to get new tea. Our Assam this year was particularly challenging, because two primary producers decided to stop producing organic tea,” he says. “We needed to find organic Assam at other gardens, and that’s … Continue reading

When tea becomes part of the meal … literally
Introducing a new feature from us here at two leaves — recipes! Our new marketing coordinator, Christy Garfield, came up with this concept, and now, having made the first recipe for my family over the weekend I can stand up and say, “Bravo!” How great is it that I had some tea in my cupboard (of course) and I could use it to create a really delicious meal? I’m looking forward to discovering many more tea-centric recipes that make our tea shine way beyond your daily mug. In this case, I used a spice grinder (but you could easily use a mortar and pestle) to pulverize a couple of sachets of Organic Mountain High Chai. That heavenly-smelling powder gets blended in with other spices and used as a rub on pork that will be seared. More of the Mountain High … Continue reading
