Author Was it foolhardy of me to open up a tea shop in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S.?
After all, everyone knows that Pacific Northwesterners are die-hard coffee addicts.
I’ve actually had people come into my tea store and announce that they’re not tea drinkers. Others have slunk in mournfully and asked me what I could recommend for them as the worst had happened: their doctor had told them that they must give up drinking coffee.
I recently came across a tea from China that is flavored with, yep, that’s right, coffee! Coffee flavored tea; all the health benefits of tea without giving up that addictive roasted bean flavor.
To set the record straight, of course, there are many tea drinkers in this part of the world, and I’m often amazed at how knowledgeable many of my customers are when it comes to tea; however, today was the first day that coffee flavored tea was up on my shelves, and lo and behold, of the myriad of teas that I offer, it was that one that made my first sale of the day.
