I’ve been crazy busy getting up to speed on my new job as the Director of Marketing & Design as well as being a Tea Tender at @lake_missoula_tea_co. Besides rabbit holing on all of their small batch teas from sustainable sources I’m learning a massive amount about tea. Tea Fact No. 1: “Water is the mother of tea.” In other words the quality of the water affects the quality of the tea. Which is sort of a “duh” moment but it’s still good to keep in mind. I’m lucky that my water comes from a well in Montana and tastes amazing compared to processed city water. Tea Fact No. 2: You never boil your water for the tea. “What?!” Yup, didn’t know that either. But it’s not just about how the temperature of the water affects the type of tea you are brewing. Apparently, the hotter the water gets after hitting the boiling point, the minerals in the water start to break down and negatively affect the taste of the water. Who knew?! Not this guy!! Tea Fact No. 3: @lake_missoula_tea_co has amazing tea ware!!! For example!!! This EZ Tea Brewer from @cafvina. Simply toss in your favorite tea that you are addicted to, #BodaciousBlue for me, add the correct temperature of hot water, steep for recommended time, and then simply set the EZ Brewer on your cup. the tea drains out the bottom right into the cup. No Pouring!!! The tea leaves are filtered and you simply rinse out the steeper. 🥳 I purchased the 32oz. version and then make 2 batches of tea which I chill in the fridge. 64oz. barely lasts 24 hours. 😆🫖 Give us follow us on your favorite social media platform. Our 10 year anniversary is coming up next year and these are very exciting times for this great little tea company and wonderful, knowledgeable crew! I’ll be over here geeking out on tea, and increased bathroom breaks from drinking too much tea. 😂🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️ Cheers! 🫖 . . . #sustainability #tea #teageek #teaislife #whoknew #lakemissoulateacompany #missoula #missoulamontana #downtownmissoula (at Missoula, Montana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTOf32lL0iD/?utm_medium=tumblr
