Iron Goddess of Mercy - Ti Kuan Yin

By Tyler at 8:00 am on Wednesday, July 25, 2007

ool_igm.jpgIron Goddess of Mercy is grown on China’s high hilltops amongst fresh streams and cool, crisp air. ITt is an Oolong, yet Green tea. Tender leaves are gently basket tossed immediately after harvesting to rupture the cells for semi-fermentation. Increased steeping time and temperature will draw distinctive flavor with each brewing.

Brewing TNT

By Steve Schwartz, Founder & CEO at 8:31 pm on Sunday, July 8, 2007

TNT PouringIt is hard to believe that such small disks can pack so many flowers, roots, berries and botanicals. TNT Teas and Tisanes are truly unique. With 20 disks per dynamite shaped stick each disk in TNT is pre-cut, which makes it separate easily and brew the perfect 10-16 oz pot. I have even experimented with an 8 oz cup and had very promising results. So, how do they stick together?  Each stick has the 20 disks pressure compressed. The natural sugars from the botanicals, red dates and goji berries help keep them intact. With such names as Chill Out Tea and Happy Tea they seem to set a certain ambiance. Dropping a disk in your favorite teapot and pouring fresh spring water at about 208F will allow the TNT disk to fully unfold and break apart evenly in about one minute. Each flavor delivers a fresh and fragrent display at various temperatures. I encourage you to try all six flavors. At a dollar a disk, which can be resteeped multiple times, it is well worth the unique experience.
