Stuff Tea People Like

Does anyone remember that blog “Stuff White People Like”? It always made us laugh, self-stereotyping through gentle jabs. During a recent meeting, Marketing Coordinator Christy Garfield and I were brainstorming so hard that our ears were emitting smoke and we decided we needed a blog post that was our own variety of stereotyping our beloved tea lovers. In fact, “tea” was No. 13 on that list of Stuff White People Like, which was discontinued in 2010. The description included this gem, “If you find yourself in a situation with a white person, acceptable things to say include, ‘I’m really into tea right now,’ or ‘my favorite thing is to get a nice cup of tea and curl up in a chair with a good book.’ But do not remind them about the role of colonialism in tea, it will make … Continue reading

Not all tea bags are created equal: Our contribution to Fresh Cup Magazine

This month we had the opportunity to appear in Fresh Cup Magazine, a trade publication for specialty coffee and tea professionals. The topic? Right up our alley, of course: Quality bagged tea, and why serving tea in sachets results in a delightful combination of superior tea and convenience.

Once beloved and regarded as ingenious upon its accidental invention approximately 110 years ago, the mention of tea in a convenient, ready-to-be-steeped package has become the anathema of self-proclaimed tea purists around the world. “Tea bags are gross—loose is the only way to go” is the sort of righteous proclamation you can find saturating tea blogs. What’s a well-meaning tea … Continue reading

January: National Hot Tea Month. Hooray???

The big reveal: Check out our new packaging!

Weeks ago we introduced you to our new shorter name, “two leaves tea company.” And as we mentioned to you in a blog post, the new name would of course come hand in hand with a new logo AND brand new packaging. So … here it is! Of course, the biggest difference with this box is how it looks — we’ve got 18 brightly colored boxes featuring our new logo (that is, our shorter name), one photo on the front to show you what’s in the sachets in that box, and text on the other side that succinctly tells you our mission as a tea company. But maybe you want a few more “new” details, so here they are: Our boxes won’t be shrink wrapped anymore. Instead, as well as the perforation on the front of the box that helps … Continue reading
