Review: I actually came across these nifty little things at last year's Fancy Food Show...this time around I managed to take one home for review. This tea stick, which looks like aluminum foil with little holes in it (though it is slightly more hearty than thin aluminum) allows the tea to expand upwards without creating a mess or stifling the flavor.
The only thing I don't like about these sticks are that when the tea is fully steeped, you cannot squeeze it. There is no way to get the water that doesn't drip naturally out of it. If you squeeze too hard, the bottom of the stick (which is folded metal) unfolds and the leaves will spill into your water. So, while I admit that this is an awesome (and very un-messy) tool, it doesn't give you the ability to squeeze the last remaining flavor out of the tea leaves.
In any event, the tea itself is delicious. This mango monsoon is overwhelmingly flavorful and sweet, with strong, crisp black tea and a very nice fruity aroma. This tea has a bit more of a fruity aftertaste than most mango tea, which I really like (though as I've said before mango is quite an overused flavor). It's not too strong, but has enough black tea astringency to allow enjoyment for people who are drinking for tea quality versus added flavor. Overall, surprisingly good tea, with lots of fruity flavor in a very cool, useful and unmessy stick.
Pros: great tool for cleanly brewing tea, nice mango flavor, good tea
Cons: impossible to squeeze tea leaves at the end of brewing

I never knew that there is an option to tea bags. Your Tea Sticks truly set a new standard in tea drinking. Pairing tea with food is brilliant and so are your flavored teas. I tried your Café Latte tea and I don’t think I’ll ever go back to coffee.

| Black Teas |
Black teas pair well with foods that are normally paired with red wines like meat, curries, and desserts. Black teas are rich and full bodied teas with pronounced tannins which hold up well with richly flavored foods. Black teas pair especially well with chocolates and desserts with chocolate.
Grown primarily in India, China and Sri Lanka, black teas are subject to the highest degree of oxidization, which is what accounts for their dark color. An average cup of black tea contains about 45 mg caffeine as compared to 60-135 mg in coffee and 35-45 mg in cola.

| Pu-er Tea -Loose Leaf |
| Tea Origin: | Yunnan, China |
| Available in: | 3.5 oz Loose Tea in tin |
| $11.95 |
| When to Drink: |
Lower in caffeine then coffee and with its rich, deep flavor and a full body Pu-er is a great alternative to coffee. In China Pu-er is highly regarded for its medicinal qualities as a digestive, weight loss and nerve stimulant. Traditionally it is paired with Dim Sum meals but is is execllent with chicken and meats, stir fry, and anything with lots of animal fat or other oils. It also pairs particularly well with foods with cinnamon, chanterelles mushrooms or morels. We suggest that you try one cup of this tea with each meal for a month and decide for your self its many benefits.
