Delicious teas to warm...
This past weekend, while doing a walking tour of the wonderful & beautiful Historic Inns of St. Augustine, I stopped into the Old Drug Store at the corner of Orange Street & Cordova Street to visit Old City Remedies. I had visited their shop in the past just prior to moving here & purchased some soap, but this time decided to purchase an ounce or two of Tea they have available (in addition to other handmade bath & body products)! They have a huge selection of teas... black, red, green, white, rooibos, organic herbal, oriental... you name it, they have it!
First I tried their sample tea, I think it was Red Berries Fruit Melange, which was a melange of different fruits including blueberries (great antioxidant). I was very VERY surprised at how deliciously thick this tea was and enjoyed it's naturally sweet flavor which was not overpowering!
After drinking the sample, I got busy sniffing all the samples of tea, and decided on two: Cocoa Cardamom: black tea, cocoa chips, cardamom, & cinnamon. Smells like cocoa tea! :-D Lemon Chiffon Rooibos: South African rooibos, lemongrass, marigold flowers. This truly smells like lemon chiffon, but the rooibos & a hint of lemon shows through when enjoying the tea!
I'm looking forward to trying some of their organic herbal teas as well. They have a website that includes a large selection of their popular teas in a variety of areas and all their handmade products as well, but it doesn't include the flavors I mentioned above! Be sure to ask them for those flavors or... you'll just have to visit St. Augustine to find them! '-D
I enjoy using & buying handmade and organic products and eating organic. I do like to experiment with organic home cleaning brands also.
Presently, I'm a fused glass artist w/a glass & teaching studio in St. Augustine, FL. Prior to that, I owned a boutique in the Upper Keys selling only handmade items plus my own hand created glass & jewelry. Many customers enjoyed the products I sold in the boutique (as well as the jewelry), so I thought it helpful to continue with other products I use myself or find in my travels that appear to fit into this Blog and would be interesting to you. :-)
I'm also interested in Angels, positive affirmations, spirituality, and the metaphysical. I'm a practicing Psychic Medium and Energy Healer as well and enjoy connecting you w/your departed love ones. Please enjoy reading "My Angels' Kisses" Blog also!
