On a trip to the Dominican Republic several years ago we stayed in a small village and were served a tea that apparently contained lemongrass and orange leaf (not part of the fruit, just the leaf) and it was divine. It had a natural sweetness to it without having any sugar added. Does anyone know where I might find something similar?

Can you buy them in larger quantities somewhere?

The one in Sherwood park has them stocked in large glass jars that look great, but you can only buy them brewed/ready-to-drink.

Obviously extremely marked up and you can't save to make later in comfort of your own home. The staff didn't know who the supplier is.

Now we will primarily be focusing on the sweet tea branch of things mostly because of those are the only ones that i drank from both brands

Taste: now when it comes to taste Arizona it has really good taste and she's not too sweet but it's not too bitter now with the other brand you have the normal sweet tea which just taste like regular unsweetened tea and then you have the extra sweet type which taste way too sweet.

Temperature: now Arizona I can drink it when it's warm or when it's freezing cold pure leaf it tastes terrible when it's even the slightest bit warm and it tastes a tiny bit better when it's cold.

I am involved in the industrial hemp industry and while experimenting with oils to help people with skin disorders like shingles, psoriasis, dermatitis etc. I noticed my hair started puffing up and growing in the first few weeks of use. I apply at least twice a week sometimes 3 massage into scalp let it sit for as long as possible but minimum of 30 minutes. It is messy a pain and I understand now what the ladies go through dealing with their hair it is time consuming. The mixture contains oils you can get a store or order online. Specifically that would be sweet amond oil, hemp seed oil, tea tree oil infused with curry leaf. I found some youtube videos couple years ago of how some middle eastern ladies were using curry leaf. Check them out yourself go to youtube and do this search "curry leaf for hair growth) their is a bunch of them now. I use way more curry leaf. Started using about a year ago and must tell you never grew my hair long but am having fun people asking me what I do to my hair. I am in late 50's my hair was thinning and now you can see for yourself. I have also used a huge amount of CBD in the oil as well my hair shines in the sun.

Does anyone know what causes this sensation? I've very rarely ever gotten this from bagged tea - and I first experienced it with a ginger tea blend. The sweetness becomes more prevalent as it cools, but I can't figure out what is causing this in the tea.

I currently have these two blends that pull off the effect:

> > Mint Basil Herbal Tea (Spice & Tea Exchange) > > Ingredients: Organic peppermint, organic cardamom, organic licorice root, essential basil and clove leaf oils > > -- > > Ginger Turmeric Herbal Tea (Spice & Tea Exchange) > > Ingredients: Organic ginger root, organic licorice root, organic turmeric, organic lemongrass, organic orange peels, organic essential lemon and orange oils >

The only ingredient in common is the licorice root - can anyone confirm that licorice root has a sweet flavor only on the back of the tongue?

So this person posted this link, and I was curious so I entered Matcha to see what would come up. Only one company ordering from Japan, all the rest China, but not always tea. Sometimes it was cans or equipment. So I tried Jade Leaf to see that they imported from Runming Tea which sells a product called Japanese Matcha but is clearly stated that it is grown in China and how all Japan's tea is polluted do to Fukushima (wtf?)

I am not even sure what to think. This is a deep rabbit hold that I am hopping into. Any thoughts?

Edit: I am trying to learn more about this. I found that this site only records sea shipments. So bulk orders that take 2-3 months to arrive. Air and Land shipments are not subject to the same reporting requirments through CBP

I recently moved within Lincoln and had been looking for some new coffee/tea places near me when I came across Green Leaf Tea Company. It seems like along with selling loose tea they also have a daily drink menu; has anyone been there and tried it? I’m really intrigued and would love to check it out sometime, but I don’t feel like I have enough information about the place to warrant going there.

What are the best tea bags (or loose leaf) for making sweet tea? I’ve tried a couple of the general grocery store kind (Lipton, Pure Leaf) but they leave a lot to be desired. Is there a secret I don’t know about?

I’ve drank almost every Republic Of Tea type of loose leaf too. Milk oolong is by far my favorite from them. There are plenty of Asian grocery stores near me that sell those large tubes of Bulk Tea but sometimes they are iffy. Does anyone have any recommendation for a company I can order online from that has a wide variety of loose leaf teas from across the spectrum that I can try? Thanks in advance

EDIT: We received an overwhelming amount of submissions from some incredibly talented and passionate members of this community. We are thrilled that there is this much interest in our new tea adventure and wish we could support everyone, but at this time we are no longer accepting submissions. Anyone who has already submitted their materials will receive a response informing them of any next steps.

But this doesn't have to be the end of the story. After all, we're building a communitea of our own! We would love if you visited us over at our brand new Subreddit - r/OneSmallSteep - and joined up to be part of our next exploration!

And while you're here - we would love your thoughts and opinions about our monthly loose leaf tea box of adventures. Please let us know what you would be interested in receiving each month and help us create an experience tailored to what you love about tea. If you help us complete this form - https://forms.gle/D886exsYrPs7D7vX8 - and sign up to give additional feedback, there will be some awesome gifts and discounts in your future. At least, so say the tea leaves.

Thank you all again for the support and enthusiasm! We're all super excited about our upcoming launch and we love knowing that you'll be along for the ride.

Moving right oolong,

Hi Writers,

We are One Small Steep (www.onesmallsteep.com), a pre-launch loose leaf tea e-commerce store and subscription service. Our goal is to make high quality loose leaf tea more accessible to the average person.

We are looking to bring on board a roster of experienced content writers for The Leaflet - our blog about the enjoyment of tea. We're looking for authors with experience on subjects like:

• Tea cultures and customs around the world
• Tea preparation - both at the farm and in the home
• The social impacts of drinking tea
• Tea farms and farmers
• Nutritional and health benefits of tea
• Tea-related recipes and cocktails

We are offering $0.10 per word for experienced writers. We are looking for writers to join our community for the long term and grow with the Company. We are planning to launch in July and looking for about one to two 500-1000 word articles per month to start from each author, or more if there is a strong knowledge/need/reliability fit.

A successful writing applicant will have the

I just remembered that Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (CBTL) was acquired by Jollibee—largest Filipino fastfood chain—in an 80% stake back in 2019.

Some quick facts:

1. Jollibee has global presence: 70 stores in North America and 1500 stores across the globe
2. Revenue of $3.6B in 2019
3. The acquisition of CBTL was so Jollibee can increase the international footprint
4. In the Philippines, Jollibee has a 37.5% market share followed by McDonald's with 20.8%

As a Filipina living in the US, I’m excited in the potential that Jollibee could adopt Flexa because there’s a huge percentage of the Philippines and Asia that are unbanked.

Unbanked Filipino adults stood at 51.2 million in 2019, or 71% of total adult population. [Source: Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas; link below]

While 71% of the total adult population in the Philippines are unbanked, it's good to note that the Philippines is Top 17 in the world in terms of crypto awareness and Top 12 in the world in terms of adoption according to this article.

Other third world countries in Asia will roughly have similar numbers in terms of unbanked and crypto awareness rate. And what I really want to express is that over the years, these countries have been utilising other means for payment. QR code payments and digital wallets (non-crypto) are pretty common there already. There's not going to be a huge shift on user experience and no need for cashier retraining once Flexa enters the Asian market.

Having CBTL become a type of proof-of-concept in the US should make it an easier sell for Flexa. When the question of "who would want to spend their crypto?" is asked, a good answer would be the people in these heavily unbanked countries. They would want/need to use their cryptocurrency to pay for things they normally would buy, like a meal from a beloved fastfood chain.

I don’t know if the Flexa team has already explored a Partnership with Jollibee. If not yet, I’m here in New York and will be open to discuss this with the team. I have some inro

Am thinking of really whooping it up for 2022 and buying some more loose leaf tea for my home collection. Looking for favorite local shops or markets with solid tea offerings before I hit the internet. Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Admitted yesterday but I just found the email in spam. RD. UR1 mid-Oct, UR2 early Dec, and UR3 last week. Above both medians and wrote Why Duke.

I know the traditional knowledge is that UR3 happens only when two reviewers disageee, but I observed that this year acceptance usually occurs after UR3 (correct me if I'm wrong)? So maybe they changed the review process?

I tried googling but all I can find are cafes and whatnot. If we don't have anything like that do y'all know any reliable websites to buy from?
