This morning I had the pleasure of reading about a new tea house opening down in Lexington. I’ll be planning to make a trip over the next couple months.
The shop, MonTea, opened in the hip college neighborhood of Chevy Chase features almost exclusively Elmwood Inn teas. Such a close relationship is reportedly very rare, but I think bodes well for the little shop.
Danielle Montague had been thinking of just such a shop for a number of years prior to her layoff from a local public radio organization. She approached Bruce Richardson from Elmwood Inn (located nearby in Perryville, KY), an old contact regarding the idea and the two progressed from there.
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)!

What you’ll win:
Each prize package contains a LibreTea Glass ‘n Poly tea glass and an assortment of tea.
Thursday is Teahouse/Tea Room, Accessory and Brand Review Day!
I don’t know about you… but I love playing with new toys. They could be gadgets or widgets or software or a tea accessory. The LibreTea Glass ‘n Poly tea glass is nothing short of awesome!
Wednesday is Green Tea, White Tea, Rooibos, Oolong and Tisane (Herbal) Review Day!
As the weather gets colder, I’ve noticed myself gravitating to more spiced teas that usual. This lightly spiced citrus infused sencha style green tea from 52teas is a palate pleaser.
