drank Braveheart by Savoy Tea Co
3015 tasting notes

Sigh. I hate change. Such as the marketing email I received from Savoy this week announcing that they are closing their physical storefronts. Online only. No doubt my favorites (like this one) will still be readily available, but there’s just something about that first step inside the door of a favorite tea shop, that first whiff of leaf, that makes your blood pressure drop and your smile slowly curl up at the corners like the Grinch.

Braveheart isn’t for the weak-minded. Stout, brassy, rye-bread goodness. I hope a packet delivered by mail tastes as good as one you’ve carried out of the store with your own two hands. I have doubts.

How sad it is to see one’s favorite retailer/storefront close up. I do think I’ve visited Savoy’s Rogers location once, back when I frequented that area.

The Rogers store went first…that was a mandatory stop when we went on an Arkansas shopping run.

Oh no! I am so sorry! I still miss Southern Season horribly. The smell of that place would chase any blues away.
