Tea in the Sahara




I’ve already gulped down several coffees today. And being an avid coffee enthusiast, I’ve enjoyed them all. Immensely. However, as I sit at Red Rocket Coffee—my local coffee shop—I am compelled to pass on the second Americano and get a pot of piping hot tea.


I’m definitely in luck here, because Red Rocket’s tea of choice (and mine) is from Toronto-based Tea in the Sahara. My favorite is 100 Mysteries, a delicious blend of coconut, ginger and cinnamon, but I am currently drinking Busy Being Blue—blue flowers and berries—and I must say it’s one of those rare occasions in tea drinking where the brewed tea tastes as delicious as it smells. Kudos to Tea in the Sahara.

Check out my local Leslieville coffee shop—and Tea in the Sahara seller— at www.redrocketcoffee.com


p.s. a selection of these teas, which come in beautiful tin boxes, and a bag of Tea in the Sahara’s pretty silk tea bags makes a thoughtful and chic hostess gift. Or, at least I think it does. G, did you like it?

I loved it — the perfect gift for a tea lover like me. And the Japanese Paper Pillow Filters are fabulous; I keep them at my desk and use them to make tea at work every day.
