We’ve always considered hot tea to be more of a girlie thing. As in biological girlie (not our unique form of gender-flopping flamboyance).
Yet, just like our eventual love of coffee, scotch and Type O Negative blood (during our brief vampire obsession), once we had the highest-quality stuff we suddenly found an appreciation.
So here we are head over leaves in love with Talbott Teas, a brand we discovered while watching Shark Tank. The description of their products and the reaction of the people drinking it was enough to have us extremely intrigued.
Plus, the owners are gay and we love supporting any entrepreneur that Kirk Cameron thinks is unnatural.
The premium gourmet teas come in spectacular packaging and feature some amazingly aromatic and delicious components. Our favorites are the Blissful Blueberry and the very unusual Cocoa Cardamom Seduction.
Talbott Teas come loose or in sachets if you don’t want to make things complicated. Even if you’re still not a hot tea person, several of the flavors are spectacular over ice, too. It is almost peak iced-tea season.
But if all that isn’t enough to make you want to warm your body and soul with their delightful teas, consider this: They were one of Oprah’s Ultimate Favorite Things.
And now they’re one of ours.
