A year in the life…

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

It’s been exactly a year since the first article here on Tea-Guy! What a trip it’s been so far!

I’ve posted a great many reviews from a plethora of tea from a myriad of companies including Harney & Sons, Adagio, Kokomo, Townsend’s, Yogic Chai, Baxster’s, Stash and more!

The upcoming year is going to be incredibly exciting!

Posts have been a bit sporadic due to a number of ongoing related projects stealing my time from the blog. Rest assured it’ll be well worth it.

Thanks to all of you who have been following the blog. I’m sure you’ll be impressed, excited and engrossed in the writings and developments to occur during 2010 here with Tea-Guy!

Keep Steepin’,

News: Fully Loaded Tea available in stores in Ohio!

Monday, December 28th, 2009

I’ve reviewed some of the beautiful sister’s blends earlier this year. Both their Tomato Rebel Black Tea and their Cucumber Mojo White Tea impressed me.

Earlier this month the delicious duo announced the availability of their blends at Bigg’s stores, Jungle Jim’s and the Keller’s IGA locations in the greater Cincinnati area.

That just happens to be my neck of the woods! I took a trip around the corner to my local Bigg’s right after receiving the good news from the sisters’ marketing agent and what did I find? Fantastic placement of their teas on a short shelf (harder to get lost on than taller shelves)!

There have been some really exciting developments in tea over the past couple decades. However, they’ve mostly been with technology or flavors. Adagio’s new “Roots Campaign” plays closer to my heart. This second installment is wonderful!
