Watching the Blues & Pinks With a Special Drink

It's been a long and busy few weeks around the soap shop. We are hustling trying to get ready for fall with lots of new stuff coming up. And I can't think of a better way to take a break than to sit back in the hot tub with a glass of Scent by Spirit iced tea and watch the sunset. I like to take two of my favorite teas from SBS; Green Tea Tropical Cyclone and Tropical Green Thunder Tea and mix them to make a killer pitcher of iced tea.
I've been shopping at SBS for about 3, maybe more years now. I first met the owner on a soaping list and we became quick friends because she is a warm, sincere, honest lady with a huge heart. Several years ago, I was very sick with a damaged nerve. Any kind of stress caused the nerve to flare causing me great, intense pain. The owner of SBS got word of my illness. Knowing how much I love tea, she sent me a whole pound of my favorite DECAF tea as a gift and get well wish. She has a kind and giving heart AND she has a phenomenal talent for blending tea.

If you don't know how to brew tea, not to worry. They have perfect little tea pots and no brainer directions that take all the thinking and confusion out of it. You can have the perfect cup of tea everytime. And if you like chocolate, they also offer a Gourmet Mexican Spiced Cocoa that will knock your socks off. Or a yummy French Creme Brulee Cocoa that is hard to resist.
One of our favorite things is to give SBS teas, cocoas, and drink mixes in holiday gift baskets. I have so much fun shopping for them and putting the baskets together. And the shipping from SBS is top notch quick. If you haven't tried a Gourmet Tea lately I encourage you to hop on over to Scent By Spirit Teas and do a little shopping.
