DID YOU KNOW.... tea is the healthiest when it is freshly brewed?  Like any food, the nutritional qualities are weakened over time.  So don't save it!!  Drink it and brew a fresh pot when you want a good cup.  Tea is inexpensive.  Even some of the more expensive premium teas are only about 40 cents per cup.  You can get an average of 200 cups of tea per pound.  Not only that, but most quality tea leaves can be resteeped one to three times.  Some oolongs and pu erhs can be resteeped five to seven times!

Time to put some zest in your cup.... try one of our flavored teas.  This month we feature a seasonal favorite, Long Island Strawberry Green, and a new black tea, Pina Colada, with pineapple and coconut.  Both teas are good hot or iced.  Available on our tea shop page!

The Tea Retreat at Ancient Future Urban Sanctuary in Sacramento is the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion, or just to relax and rejuvenate with good tea, food pairings and some world tea culture.  Choose from several cultural options.  Available for reservations on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
