It is farmer's market eve....quite an event in the Blend Teas household. We run around like Santa's elves trying to package, check and recheck our lists and inventory. Big sighs. BUT so exciting too! I find it very interesting to place our bets the night before on what will be the big seller of the evening. I'm finding (and this will be a total shocker to those of you out there who are reading) that whatever we sample is (in general) the hit of the night.
Last week we launched our new line of Twisted Sweet Teas (thought up by my husband and inspired by his mother). Yet another surprise! Who knew that the Northern California folk would be so taken with Southern Style Sweet Tea??? Certainly not us, but alas! We are thrilled to be proven wrong in this instance. Last week we sold out of our sample, the Sweet Southern Blackberry. This week?? We're sampling TWO! Sweet Georgia Peach and Sweet California Boysenberry. Nor-Cal, we are ready for you to welcome sweet tea into your home!
Packaging continues to be somewhat of a learning experience. While our black tins have had a quite positive response, we are also finding that our "refill" bags are growing in popularity. A few weeks ago, we introduced our 6 ounce size with much success. This week, we will slowly be adding 12 ounce sizes in select teas for those who are REAL tea drinkers (like yours truly). We welcome feedback from our customers. Let us know what you like and why.
On another note, we have received confirmation that we will be vending at the Grass Valley Celtic Festival in October! Yay! Come see us then! We will update you about other events we will be attending.
Happy Brewing....
