The Tailored Tea

We stopped in for brunch here today and had a lovely time. Please read the full review here: http://wifeywoman.teatra.de/2012/06/03/review-the-tailored-tea/

Stopped here in June on a day trip into Vermont and picked up some awesome teas! They also sell their teas to go and by the oz if you want to take it home for later. They also serve up some yummy vegetarian and gluten-free options to satisfy your tummy.

Enchanté Whole Leaf Teas

This is a new shop in downtown Troy with a few teas on hand to enjoy in the shop or on the go. The menu has something for every tea taste. But like I said it’s new so the selection is limited. But it will be opening soon with tea tastings and more.

The Whistling Kettle

Finally stopped in here this afternoon and had their afternoon tea service. This gets you a sandwich, crepe, or other sammich of your choice. Then you pick a soup or salad, followed by your dessert. Finally you have the tough choice of picking one of their teas. I went with an iced honeybush green. Not bad. The service was quick and friendly too. They also have a “sniffing” bar where you can smell all of their teas on hand,

Sadly they do not blend their own teas. Bit of a downer as I figured they would. I did find out they will blend their teas for you upon request. So that’s pretty nifty. They also sell their teas by the sample pouch, tins, and bagged pound. I’ll be heading back there in the near future.

Flavour Cafe

At Flavour Cafe they serve Divini Teas. Which I must admit are pretty good and good for you. I suggest their Rooibos….really good. They always have at least one or two new teas a week along with the standard Earl Grey and English Breakfast (not fans of either). Friendly staff, great service – stop in!

Whenever I stop in there (which isn’t as often as I’d like) I always get a pot of their tea. I do think the water is really hot. So much so that my tea has been burned a time or two! But they do have some nice selections. Sad to say none of said selections really grabbed me. Worth checking out.

Profile

Bio

Tea lover, wife, mother to three cats, reader, and writer. I started drinking and enjoying tea (yes, yes it was Lipton, but it got me started) when my grandmother first introduced me to tea with milk and sugar (and peanut butter and jelly on toast) and my love just grew from there.

I was brought to loose leaf through a trip to Teavana, but my taste has expanded along with my love of tea in general. Now to get my husband to drink some too! :)

I’m happy to try samples and review them if you are a tea company. PLEASE NOTE I do not want payment for tasting/reviewing your teas. Just the sample will be fine. :)

If you would like to get in touch with me I can be reached via email at thepurrfectcup@gmail.com, thank you.
