Vermont Tea and Trading Company

Let's face it. In our sometimes hectic, often pre-packaged world, many folks don't want to deal with the business of loose tea. It's easy to eschew loose tea for the connotation it brings to mind: "messy", "time consuming" and "pricey".

Frankly though, this is just not so.

Not only does it take just about the same amount of time to brew loose teas as it does to drop a bag in hot water, it's often a better value. I think if everyone would at least try loose tea, they would be quick converts.

In fact, we feel you will easily jump ship from bags with one cup of this "TeaNirvana." That is what Curran and Bruce of Vermont Tea and Trading have been importing for years, blending some of the best tea we've come across. These brothers of tea are absolutely fanatical about their blends. They actually grind their own whole spices (most tea makers purchase pre ground spices) for a truly enhanced tea experience.

This is extraordinary tea. We've chosen several of our favorites to offer to you.
