Money saver: organic loose leaf tea
Hear ye, hear ye, tea aficionados: there's a new brand of organic tea in (internet) town called Zhi. The first time I tasted Zhi was at a local shop in Austin, Texas. The blend? A decaffeinated herbal called Sweet Desert Delight. Topped with steamed soy, it tasted as rich as a Thanksgiving dinner -- pretty unusual for a low-cal beverage.
According to Zhi's finely tuned website, this signature brew contains organic Red Rooibos, cinnamon, anise pods, cacao nibs, coconut pieces, safflowers and stevia leaf. In other words: total taste explosion.
The White Blueberry is also a winner, which mixes, "superior grade organic China White Peony...with organic blueberry, blue malva flowers, and botanical blueberry flavor."
Of course, as I write this, I'm sipping on Zhi's smooth-sailing Coconut Assam.
I'm proud to support something organic and certified fair trade that I can't yet purchase at a supermarket. It feels so...exclusive.
And thrifty in a sophisticated fashion, especially when I buy in bulk.
