Finding tea on a visit to Saint Simons Island

I recently returned from spending a delightful week on Saint Simons Island, where my friend Angela has a home, and I came back with lots of great memories, fun finds, and inspiration from a part of coastal Georgia I’d never visited before. This island isn’t far from Savannah, which I’ve visited many times, yet I’d somehow never made it to Saint Simons, and I loved it!



As a longtime water lover, I’d been wanting to go back to the beach for a couple of years now, but somehow, I couldn’t go back to the (many) beaches I had visited with my husband. Not yet. But since this was a beach I’d never visited before, it was the perfect getaway, and I so enjoyed wading in the water, collecting seashells, and eating some great seafood.



To my surprise and delight, a tea vendor I’d discovered a couple of years ago has a facility in nearby Brunswick, and when we drove over there for lunch one day, Angela gladly offered to stop by the Biron Tea Factory and Tasting Room.



I enjoyed seeing the pretty roses out front.



Inside, they had many teas brewing in glass pots, and you were welcome to try sample cups of tea.

The two I came home with? The Peach Blossom Black Tea at left and the Keemun tea at right, both of which I have already tried and greatly enjoyed. If you've not heard of Biron Teas, you can learn more about them here. A fun discovery while on vacation!
