I Heart Tea

Good morning, Readers.

Sort of.

I'm very tired.

Good friend of mine and generally awesome person Robert Olsen has started his own tea company.

It's really good, guys.  Like, really frakkin' good.

I'm not just saying this because Rob is an awesome guy and also a good friend.  Those are just bonuses.  I can definitely say that I adore this tea.  A lot.

I mentioned this company in my after-event reflection of C.O.N. - the Creative Ottawa Nerds market that happened earlier this month.  Rob was there, offering his tea.  It was his first event, I believe (I could be very wrong on that, but I'm pretty sure it was).  He offered samples of his teas throughout the day, and I cannot tell you how impressed with them I was.

I checked out his table before the event properly opened, and was immediately drawn to a tea called "Knights of Avalon" because, come on! Of course I was!  The description was intriguing:

This Sri Lankan black tea is skillfully blended with caramel, vanilla, bergamot, and citrus to produce some wonderfully complex flavours and a creamy texture.

It was the first tea served as a sample.

It was so good, you guys, I bought a bag on the spot.

Anyway, last week, Rob launched the website for his business.  It's beautiful.  I promised him I would blog about it today, so here I am.  Blogging about it.

I wouldn't have made that promise if I didn't really love his teas.

I really love his teas.

Do check out his website.  Perhaps buy some teas.  I recommend the Knights of Avalon tea, but they're all really amazing.

Even friends who don't really like tea were very impressed.  So go!  Get some tea.

​You're welcome.
