Feuilles de thé.

I just came back from Remedy Teas where I had another shopping spree, but it’s definitely worth it considering how amazing their teas taste, smell and look. At first I was just going there to refill two of my old ones but I ended up getting three new kinds. It’s just so tempting.

Peach Oolong: The closest thing to visiting the orchard, the flavor and aromas of fresh picked peaches and toasty oak swirl around this Wuyi oolong with hand-blended rosehips, marigolds and essences of apricot and peach.
Silver Earl: The classic Earl Grey has a silvery new step. Enjoy cooling citrus flavor and a brisk fragrant brew from this light and refreshing blend of natural organic bergamot and premium organic Silver Needle white tea.
Jade Spring : Pure “Wulu” spring tea from China. Freshly handcrafted grown at high elevations among lush mountain tops and mist. This special grade first-pick green tea creates a smooth and wonderfully mellow and butttery cup with fresh sweet taste.
Green Energy: A dynamite tea that delivers a citrus-fresh, stimulating cup with serious horsepower. Green tea combo, ashwaganda (a powerful Ayruvedic herb), ginseng, gogi, licorice, citrus peel and citrus essence.
Deep Sleep: This potent mix of herbs is bound to help send you to la-la land while tasting like a dream. Chamomile, rosehips, lavender, pink peppercorn, valerian, honeybush and kava kava.

Remedy Teas, Seattle

So, there’s this amazing place in Seattle called Remedy Teas that I discovered last quarter. I wonder how I missed it, I actually live 4 blocks away from it. This is hands down the best Tea shop I have ever been. Remedy Teas offer a huge selection of 150 organic teas from all kind and from all over the world. White, Green, Black, Oolong, Herbal… some of them are mixed for specific purposes (hangover tea, relief for colds, deep sleep, extra caffeine, etc), it’s just amazing to enter the room and see their entire collection on the walls. It is so overwhelming at first. I love the location too, on 15th Avenue, way more chill than other parts of Capitol Hill such as Broadway and Pike – that’s probably the reason why it took me 4 months to find that place. They have big windows and a nice little patio. It’s all very cozy and the atmosphere is perfect to relax with a book or a laptop. They also have provide free Wifi and they’re open til 11PM. It’s very modern inside and they always play some chill and ambient music, never too loud. I just love this place. I always bring one or two bag of leaves home. Here’s what I got. I love them all.
