BIG announcement later this week. We’re going to be launching our Indiegogo crowd-funding campaign to raise the capital we need to bring back Zoomdweebie’s Tea Bar. I hope you will all stay tuned and help us out with your contributions and with sharing the campaign for us. We have some AWESOME perks set up for it. You won’t want to miss out on them. As for this week’s Tea of the Week, I think this is the tribute blend I should have done months ago when I released the Inscape blend. Inscape was maybe a bit too deep and complicated, whereas this one gets right to the heart of the (dark) matter. If you haven’t read Joe Hill’s new horror novel NOS4A2 (think Nosferatu), you’re missing out. This week’s blend attempts to capture the essence of the insidious Gasmask Man’s terrible gingerbread smoke, which he uses to daze and sedate his victims. The tea is a blend of our premium black teas, ginger root pieces and just a hint of smoked lapsang souchong. It tastes a bit like the gingerbread cookies my mom used to make (she had a habit of burning cookies, but don’t tell her I said so). Get yours today atZoomdweebies.com!

Well folks, I have been busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest lately, working on piecing together all the various bits of our upcoming crowd-funding campaign to bring back Zoomdweebie's Tea Bar. I confess, I am a little behind on orders, but will be caught up soon. My friend Betty here was kind enough to help me out with creating this week's tea of the week, because I think my brain went on strike. Well, she said she wanted something fruity, something light and refreshing and something calming. Bit of a tall order, but I think y'all will agree that we hammered out the perfect answer. BetTEA's Blend is a honeybush base with mostly organic pear flavors, with just a hint of vanilla, an even smaller hint of chamomile and some blue cornflowers to make it pretty. I have a feeling this one is going to go fast. Get yours today at Zoomdweebies.com! Just $8.99 including shipping to the US! Find all of our currently available inventory HERE

Following the success of our Razzleberry (Raspberry & Blackberry) blend and iced tea, I thought we'd give it a try with our genmaicha. And I am not sorry! Here's our toasty Japanese genmaicha considerably cheered-up with the sweet and tart flavors of raspberry and blackberry. This is a unique summertime blend of genmaicha, and the combination of the sea-sprayed Japanese sencha, toasty brown rice and berry goodness makes me think of a picnic on the beach. In other good news, I've changed the pricing structure on our Southern Boy iced teas so that you can mix and match different varieties and still get the volume discount. If you buy four or more Southern Boy Teas, they are 50-cents off each; 10 or more and they are $1 off each. As for this week's tea, if this is anything like our other genmaicha blends, it's going to go fast, so don't delay. Get yours today at Zoomdweebies.com! Just $8.99 including shipping to the US!

Our cakey- and gingerbread-flavors were getting mixed reviews in our black tea blends, so I decided to give it a try with a lighter base, and oh man, did that do the trick! Here’s a light, refreshing Young Hyson green tea base blended with cinnamon, ginger and organic flavors like gingerbread, cake batter, butter and brown sugar. I wouldn’t normally think to pair something heavy like cake flavors with a green tea, but I’m sure glad I gave it a shot. This tea is delicious! But then, who doesn’t like coffeecake? Even if it does have “coffee” in the name. (I never touch the stuff, despite lots of requests from people for us to blend flavored coffees like we do teas. I would love to do it, but I just can’t stand the taste of coffee and I wouldn’t want to create products I couldn’t sample first and determine whether or not they are any good.) Anyway, THIS is a thing of beauty. I sure hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. Get yours today atZoomdweebies.com! Just $8.99 including shipping to the US!

Happy National Iced Tea Day!

I love creating new tea blends for our customers; if I didn’t, I would just go make a LOT more money being an accountant (and most likely lose my soul in the process). I love that every week I get another chance to create something new, and potentially earn the love and admiration of our followers for something I created. I imagine that’s kind of what it’s like for a writer. [Brief indulgent aside: Once upon a time, yours truly wanted to be a writer. I wrote terrible science fiction stories and collected enough rejection slips to wallpaper the White House.] So it should come as no surprise that when author Joe Hill became an enthusiastic customer of ours, I kind of lost my poop (pardon my censorship). When he asked me to create a blend inspired by his most recent novel and actually sent me an advanced autographed copy of said novel… well, my friends and family can attest, I couldn’t shut up about it for weeks. So, NOS4A2 (think Nosferatu’s creepy vanity plate) is about an soul-sucking supercentenarian with an evil car who “saves” children and takes them to place called Christmasland where every day is Christmas and soulless children play games like scissors for the drifter. One of the key ideas expressed inNOS4A2 is the concept of inscapes. Christmasland is the evil Charlie Manx’s inscape. It’s a world of his imagination made real by the sheer force of his (evil) will. Fortunately, there are other, more noble characters in NOS4A2 who have also harnessed the power of inscapes, which power they ultimately wield to wage battle with the dark antagonist Charlie Manx. NOS4A2 is a great ride of a book. It’s thoroughly entertaining and difficult to put down in its immersive 704 pages. You should head to your nearest locally owned bookstore and get a copy today. It’s also available on Amazon. But I suppose you want to know about the tea this week. Inscape is my attempt at an artistic interpretation of Joe Hill’s novel. It is dark and mysterious with a roasted South American yerba mate base blended with almond slivers, marshmallow root, licorice root and a touch of peppermint. It is largely flavored with organic marshmallow and maple flavors and the cup tastes mostly like a rich vanilla/maple mate with a whisper of licorice and peppermint–like the ghost of Christmas, unexpected and strangely haunting. This is MY inscape, my re-imagining of Joe Hill’s novel manifested in reality and poured out for you. I hope you like it. Just $8.99 including shipping to the US!
