One of our favorite fall seasonal blends is our Pumpkin Pie Chai! As some of our seasoned guests may know, this blend comes out around the month of September and will be available throughout the fall, until the stores run out of their supply at the end of the season.

Pu Erh teas are my favorite class of teas! Before I became a part of the OBTC Family, I never even knew what a Pu Erh Tea was, similarly to many of our guests that walk into our stores daily! Pu erh teas come from the Camellia sinensis plant, like other tea leaves, and it has been aged, oxidized and fermented before drying. During the fermentation process, healthy microbes and microflora are present. This healthy bacteria is the same healthy bacteria found in yogurt that helps our digestive system function properly. Because of those microbes and healthy bacteria, drinking a cup of Pu erh tea helps with digestion, metabolism, bloating and weight loss. In fact, Pu erh tea is known on Instagram as the “Slim Tea.”Pu Erh Teas have a rich...

It is a common misconception that all types of tea are steeped in a boiling water and for a set time limit. On the contrary, each type of tea needs to be steeped at a different temperature, and for varying times, depending on the type of tea and how strong you prefer it. Steeping a tea at the wrong temperature or longer than it's supposed to be steeped can lead to a bitter tasting and/or burnt cup of tea!
