| - Every time I pass this place I try one of these teas and go on my merry way, but I always leave saying, "that was really good". Now, I'm not a big tea fan. In fact, I really only like herbal teas and I buy them from the supermarket and drink them when I'm sick. But citrus lavender sage had me hooked and I had to buy my first tea from here.
I was disappointed by the salesperson who just kind of showed me the two teas that are "married" to make citrus lavender sage, let me smell them, but didn't really answer my questions or give me advice on how best to brew them.
I asked him if these would work well in my Cuisinart single cup machine with the reusable filter. He said, "yes this will work fine." I then asked, "do I just brew the two teas in an equal amount to get this flavor?" "Yes." I mean, I'm not a specialty tea connoisseur and I could have used a little more guidance.
He then started scooping the two teas, but not before trying to upsell me with a reusable canister to keep my tea fresh. I refused the canister and he went along his way. He told me that one scoop, I guess 2 ounces?, was 10 dollars (and I needed two different teas to make this flavor). So I took one scoop of each in hopes to make 20 good cups of tea at home. He then overfilled each bag by about 3 dollars (I think this is some sort of ploy to increase sales because they ask you if that amount is OK and you'll likely say yes). I mean, this isn't the deli where you get an extra slice of cheese and you're ok paying slightly over a half a pound. When your "cup" of tea that's supposed to cost 10 bucks is 3 dollars over that's pretty significant. But I figured I REALLY liked this flavor and let's just go with it.
Anyway, the teas are really good but I think the service and prices could be a little better... Now if anyone has any tips on brewing my new tea, they'd be greatly appreciated, lol.
