Drop a pic of your favorite teacup in the comments Drop a pic of your favorite teacup in the comments below!!!!

I’m currently enjoying a cup of our Phenomenal Woman tea in my favorite tea mug from Pumpkin Center Pottery sweetened with honey from Hank E. Panky Farm & Soap Shop

Empow[her] & Phenomenal Woman are two tea blends c Empow[her] & Phenomenal Woman are two tea blends created in response to goimagine.com 's February Theme Challenge which was to Celebrate Women! International Women’s Day (March) is a day celebrating the historical, cultural, and political achievements of women around the globe. 

With this in mind we created both blends using a base of Organic Rwandan Black tea because it is produced by a co-op of 4,500 farmers who primarily employ women.  It has candied flavor notes and walnut which blends so well with the inclusions we selected.  We know women love strawberries, chocolate, and spicy notes of cinnamon and clove.  But we also wanted to add some rose petals.  Empow[her] & Phenomenal Woman labels both incorporate the power color RED and a quote from Maya Angelou (an actress, producer, writer, speaker, and civil rights activist, to name a few of her accomplishments). Be sure to google Maya Angelou for more information on this Empowered, Phenominal Woman!!!

Enjoy your tea…..honor the women in your life…..surround yourself with PHENOMENAL women!!!

both of these blends are now available to order at: www.SteepRightUpNC.com

NEW TEA!!!!! I am so excited to introduce this new NEW TEA!!!!! I am so excited to introduce this new tea.....it's called "Creativi-Tea". This new tea has been inspired by PANTONE's color of the year for 2022: Very Peri. 

This one is special for sure.  It is a PURPLE tea (as opposed to black, green, oolong, white, etc). It comes from the same plant just a different varietal.  The leaves have a purplish hue rather than being green.  It has a very delicate flavor.  Less caffeine than green tea but just slightly more than white.  It pairs really well with fruity flavors so would make a great dessert tea. 

You can find this tea at (and read more about it): https://steeprightup.goimagine.com/home-and-living/pantry/creativi-tea/
