Cool.  Still havent tried Mint.  Got it chilling somewhere.

Gon make some tonight for game actually.

The Autumn harvest tea was amazing.

sounds  great, pm sent

Sounds promising; my tea resume thus far is black/orange pekoe and raspberry iced tea. Never imagined there was a cranberry orange combo, but found this on Google image:
BTW…pm sent  ;D

The Tea was awesome Tibs, mine did not last very long,  very enjoyable drink at the end of the day. 

The Mint Chocolate sounds awesome too. While I was growing up, several people tried to warn me off of putting milk in my tea as it created tannic acid and could cause health issues. However, I think this is an old wives tale as I found this article from The Health Sciences Institute:

Tannic acid and tea

 
You want complicated? Tea – now that’s complicated.

In the e-Alert “Model T” (5/22/03) I told you about the amino acid in tea called L-theanine, which helps the body fight viral, parasitic, fungal, and bacterial infections. In response, I received an e-mail from an HSI member named Joseph who had a question about another component of tea:

“All this tea news is great, but what about the tannic acid in tea? I recall reading an article that said tannic acid (the same item used in tanning leather!) wreaks havoc on joints, leading to arthritis. Supposedly the tea-drinking Brits have a very high incidence of arthritis.”

After checking several sources, I can’t confirm that the British have an unusually high incidence of arthritis, so we’ll have to take Joseph’s word on that one. Tannic acid is the astringent agent used in leather tanning, but different plants have different tannic characteristics. More to the point: tea isn’t used to tan leather, but the tannins extracted from oak, birch, eucalyptus, willow, and pine, are.

As for the tannins in tea, I’ll have more on that, but first, here’s HSI Panelist Allan Spreen, M.D., with his take on Joseph’s question:

“Tough one. There are nutrient therapists who deliberately use tannins as part of their therapy, as some seem to have helpful properties. There’s always the question of what’s doing the good (or bad), of course. Is it the tannins, the theophylline, or something else in the tea?

“To complicate the picture there are green teas, well known to have benefits in several areas. However, some have caffeine and some don’t (as is true with other compounds on board), which complicates the picture somewhat. Also, it’s recently been found that black teas have therapeutic abilities along with the green varieties (and would be expected to have more tannins on board).”

In other words: there’s no pat answer to this one. When you say “tea,” you’re talking about a universe of varieties with a wide range of characteristics. And when you start sorting through the available literature about tea and tannic acid, the picture doesn’t get any clearer – anything but.

I found three sources claiming that research shows tea drinkers are less likely to suffer from arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis (no specific references to studies were named). But I found another piece – written by George E. Meinig, D.D.S., F.A.C.D. – that made a case for the caffeine in tea increasing rheumatoid arthritis risk by causing a calcium-phosphorus imbalance. And according to Dr. Meinig, the problem is compounded when sugar is added.

As for the specific effects of tannin, one theory holds that mucin (the protective mucous that lines the interior of the digestive system) protects us from most of tannic acids’ negative effects. Another source claims that tannic acid has anti-inflammatory and germicidal properties.

And to top it all off, I found an article that simply stated: “There is no tannic acid in tea.”

If that were true, it would make for a much simpler answer to Joseph’s question.

Now Mint Chocolate tea sounds even more appealing than ever!

that choco mint tea is absolutely fucking amazing!!!!

Thanks Cid! I have had one cup of the chocolate mint, and now I want another and another and another… 

How much is this by the pound? I for one am deffo interested in buying bulk.

I cannot  wait to try the others, my guess is Ill want a pound of each, Ill deffo let ya’ll know how it is when I try… might be tonight lol

Thanks bro. Its a local favorite. My tea liking neighbors want it but don’t think my price is too good. I live in a very poor area. I have some teas that I drink that cost over $200 a pound. Sounds crazy right? Not if you buy a cpl ounces at a time. It lasts a while too. I drink what I like and want because life is short.

My teas are going to be $35 a pound and $20 1/2 pd plus shipping. I need to get some better packaging so you can reseal the bag as needed. The labels will be low tech to keep the price down. I will probably use food grade silver mylar with a ziplock since they are cheap and dependable.
