Brecksville Tea, NetWorth Partners

I was excited to do a tea out of town and meet new people.  My friend Jenna, from Four Stage Teas, recommended me for this tea.  Thanks Jenna!

Since I am off on Wednesdays, it is a great opportunity for a midweek tea.  Let me know if you want me to come to your office on a Wednesday.

I did an ice tea bar for this July tea.

The great thing about iced tea is that you can make your concentrate ahead of time.  It makes the day of the tea a lot less stressful.  

Always plan ahead when you can.

Okay- shout out to Network for the adorable toilet paper!  Well, everything about this place was really nice!!  It was very classy inside. 

They had a great set up for me.  They were expecting around 20 people for their retirement talk and then my tea tasting.  They also were providing a lunch.  

They did their talk on retirement and "blending" your retirement like a perfect cup of tea.  Lynne did a great job!  I read the values and mission statement of this place and I was very impressed.

They had a great spot at the front of the room to set up the different teas.

I always hand out a menu when I do a tea.  

I do this for a few reasons:

- if anyone has any allergies, they can see what is in the tea.

-I don't sell the tea, but if people like the tea and they want to know where to purchase it, they can see right on the menu what I am serving.

I had the Purple Palmer, my take on an Arnold Palmer.

There was a white, Jasmine Silver Needle.

I also like to put a little bit of the tea out for people to see the great teas I use.  You can see nice tea leaves and actually smell the tea.  These are not tea dustings I am using.  I am using quality tea. 

A mango green tea.

A coconut oolong.

And lastly an Earl Grey.

But then I did a cold foam with lavender if they wanted to splurge.

 I brought along a lemon honey if they wanted to try that with their tea.

I had a great time sharing all about teas, how to make a great cup, and the differences in the teas.  Everyone did a great job of interacting with me and asking questions.

The lunch they provided was incredible too!

We sat around and talked tea and retirement.  I enjoyed myself a lot.  A really sweet group of individuals showed up.

100 degrees!  If I am being honest, this one wore me out...not the tea, but the weather.  I had plans of visiting other teas in the area, but I could not take another step!

I went home and went to a friends pool and crashed for a few hours.  In this heat, dragging all my tea items in and out is too much.

This is the day I decided to buy a travel wagon for my car!!!

Then they gifted me with a bag of goodies.  What a shock!  I mean, they had already paid me too.

A nice bag, travel cup, a nice vine (that I am still growing and can't wait to plant), and a wonderful cutting board or serving tray.  How incredibly thoughtful.

I just love getting out and meeting people.

Scented Leaf, Arizona ...Prickly Pear, Coconut Lavender, Blood Orange Sangria, and Young Grasshopper teas

I was out in Arizona for my nephews wedding.  Turns out that one of the gals that went to England with me last year lived less than 20 minutes away!

It was so fun to sit down with Mary and catch up!  This is one of those cases were social media is a good thing.  We met last year via social media.  She joined me on a trip to England without ever meeting me- now that is trust, lol!  Actually all 8 ladies who signed up for the London tea never met me- we met on a Christian Tea Facebook page and we knew we had Jesus, tea, and the love of London in common....what more could we need.

I was excited to try Scented Leaf for two reasons.  Mary had brought me some tea from here in England and I loved it.  Also my nephew and his now wife, had their first date at a Scented Leaf!

They had two really nice seating areas.

They also had lots of fun teas and merch.

Tea on tap?!  YES PLEASE!!!

So many tea options!!!  I actually had 4 teas in the hour that we chatted!  I was so surprise when I went to purchase the second tea I was given a discount and the third was free.  Why would I not keep buying tea then, lol!

I kept drinking....and getting more tea.

Favorites in order-

1. Prickly Pear-  Organic South African green rooibos, organic hibiscus flowers, organic cane sugar, prickly pear flavoring, crystallized lemon (citric acid, lemon oil, lemon juice)

2. Coconut Lavender- Organic Sencha Green Tea, Organic Orange Peel, Organic Coconut Bits, Organic Blueberries, Organic Lavender, Natural Flavor     

3. Blood Orange Sangria-Sangria Tea with orange and grapefruit, house black tea, fresh squeezes lemon, blood orange syrup, and agave

4. Young Grasshopper- Cool mint chai with nitro coffee, milk and chocolate almond milk with splash of vanilla ( I missed the seeing coffee when I ordered it)

I can't say enough good about this place!  Staff was friendly and helpful.  Tea was outstanding!!!  Everything was clean.  Prices were good.  Keep doing what you are doing!!

 

I made quick work of the tea I took to go too!

When you buy a tea they put the date sticker on it.  Then when you come up to buy another one, you get a discount, and then the third is free!  I believe it needs to be the same cup- the stickers are on it.  And it might be teas on tap too....however it workers I love it.   I love this place.

Nice cafe!!  I love that they have so many teas!  I am a fan!  I wish they had one in Ohio!!

Then I came back to this....Lipton tea all over my desk, ugh!  hahahahahahaha.

The joys of having fun coworkers!!

They know at work I am NOT a Lipton fan!
