Talk About Teas!


We offer a line of teas that were similiar to what was available during the 16-18th centuries. When researching different teas, it made me realize what tea leaves really looked like - instead of the dustings available in tea bags. The types of tea that we carry come from different parts of the world, some contain a mixture of different teas blended, herbal ingredients or botanicals that add color and flavor.

My favorite is a "French Blend" that would take you into the hills of Provence, France at one of their outdoor cafes. Has a blend of black and green teas, having a flavory Ceylon, pungent Assams and malty Kenyas, with a small touch of lavender.

As a plain green tea, I enjoy drinking the Lucky Dragon Hyson Tea in the morning. Young Hyson Teas were purchased by the weathly during the 1700's, was the highest taxed tea and one of the types of teas that was dumped into the Boston Harbor in protest of the tea tax. It has a good smooth body taste.

Let us know what your favorite type of tea you enjoy drinking.

What is your favorite seasoning for your favorite meal?


With the warmer weather upon us, it is time to try new recipes containing different flavorings of herbs and spices for your outdoor cooking. I invite you to share some of your favorites and which seasonings you enjoy using.

As an 18th century re-enactor, we enjoy using our "Garden Blend" herbal blend on a pork roast, slowly cooking near the firepit in a reflector oven. YUMMMMMMMMY!
