Recently I came across an ad for Republic of Tea teas, and it reminded me I hadn't received a copy of their catalog in a while. I went to their website and ordered one.
The ROT catalog is always a classy affair, with elegant photography and a nice, clean layout.
I also love that this catalog always arrives with a free tea sample tucked inside. This time, it was some of their new Sweet Tea Tropical Green Tea, which was simply terrific! I immediately was struck by how very sweet this citrusy tea tasted, so I had to visit the website, where I discovered its ingredients are "Fine Green Tea, Korean Hydrangea serrata leaves, stevia leaves, blackberry leaves, licorice root and natural tropical flavors." I'm betting the sweetness is from the stevia, and I was also delighted to learn it contains hydrangea serrata leaves, because I have that very hydrangea growing at my house. (Go
here for a photo and to learn more.) And if you'd like a Republic of Tea catalog and sample for yourself, go
here and scroll down to the bottom to order!
Oh how NEAT!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your old post about your hydrangea too - I asked on it but shall again: 3 years later, how is it doing now? Has it propered in your Baptist Garden? : - ) Hope so, sure is a neat looking plant - and love its tea info.
Have a wonderful day. Hugs.
Kind of nice to have a catalogue to browse when most places are only producing on-line these days.

Yum, that tea does sound good, and I have enjoyed every Republic of Tea flavor I have tried, so I think I'll be getting a catalog.
ReplyDeleteLove that they include a tea sample in their catalog! Clever!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link! The only tea catalogue I've received is Harney & Sons. I always feel like I've learned something when I peruse that one. There are so many interesting things to read!
ReplyDeleteI might just have to order a catalog. I think it has been years since I took a look in their catalog. Interesting sounding tea too.
ReplyDeleteI've ordered my catelog. Thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteYum, in which herbal tea can appear good, and that i have got appreciated every single Republic involving Tea flavor I've attempted, and so i feel I shall be getting a directory. Fox Tail Anal Plug
ReplyDeleteMichele, that hydrangea is *flourishing* in the garden, especially this year! Since we have had an extremely rainy summer with some steamy afternoons, it's like the tropics here, and a lot of my plants have really shot up. I noticed this week that the hydrangea is now about three times its original size!
