Two Leaves & A Bud Tea Company

I am not a tea drinker. But I was in a treatment center in Edwards, CO for 54 days and discovered the Organic Assam. Holy crap! I am now hooked on this tea. It became a morning routine. Noosa yogurt and Two Leaves and a Bud. Every morning. Thank you Two Leaves for being part of my story, in my next chapter of life!

4 stars for marketing, but a slight notch below my favourite, Higgins & Burke.It's just as flavourful/strong, who knows if it has anything to do with organic. Oh well, it's still repeatable.Kudos for its compostable packaging.Since 2004.

Obsessed would be an understatement. I first learned about this tea at a wedding we went to in Aspen at the St Regis. It has been a pleasure to see them popping up in more and more locations. Every packet of tea is beautiful and the taste is unparalleled for a packaged tea. I keep many different kinds in my house now that they are sold at Whole Foods. The Chamomile tea is my favorite followed by alpine berry. They have done a great job sourcing and making me feel like I am drinking something special instead of a grocery store tea.

I had the privilege of trying Two Leaves & a Bud's teas at the Fancy Food Show in SF just last week. Of all the hundreds of tea vendors there, TL&B's tea's stood out the most to me. Phil was manning the large booth set up with his aromatic teas. The two teas for taste? Jasmine green tea and Assam tea,which Phil described as a perfect breakfast tea. Indeed it was. It was my first time trying assam tea. It's a full bodied tea from India with almost a malt like flavor, yet still light in the palate. The color is bright and I'm sure it would brighten my day if I started with a cup of this.One of my all time favorite teas is Jasmine green tea and I've had a lot of it in my lifetime! I drink tea everyday and i prefer it unsweetened. One sip of TL&B's jasmine green tea and I honestly wanted to walk back to the booth with my cup for a refill. I ate so much during the fancy food show and had a blast sampling all of the sweets and savory, but i kept craving the tea! I still find it hard to find quality jasmine green tea in sachets. Luckily I know where to get my tea now. You can find them at their website http://www.twoleavesandabud.com/or most Whole Foods Locations!Phil was also one of people I met at the show that was genuinely nice and fun to chat with. Its interesting to me that there are some people who you talk to and they just bring a smile to your face and brighten your day. Phil is that kinda guy! Thanks for the tea tasting!

It's an understatement to say im a fan of black tea. In fact I have a liter bottle of iced black tea next to me as I type this. Two Leaves' Assam is some good stuff. Dark and hearty but still smooth on the palate. Id say the Earl Grey is a close second on the teas I've tried. However they have an Oolong that I still need to try which well may surpass the others if the quality is as high

I like these teas.The Peppermint is particularly good prepared as some kind of iced concoction. Good summertime beverage.I like that they have a "Knowledge Center" on their website.Very nice wide selection of teas, including organics.Sometimes I'm a little too rough with their delicate sachets and bust them open by accident. Careful.If you like tea, you should drink tea. Some of these teas are a pretty good place to start.If you like movies about tea or even if you just like movies, you should watch the Les Blank film All In This Tea. (This is just a shameless plug for one of my favorite filmmakers and doesn't really belong in this review.)

The tea itself tastes good. But the real problem lies within the teabag. The teabag is made from plastic which has bad chemicals in it. I have endometriosis which means my body produces to much estrogen and plastics and other chemicals pesticides ect. make it worse. I have a bunch pain from it and if you're going to sell a product that is "Organic" then keep in Organic! Its a joke to have a good product that leaches out chemicals when you want to enjoy something healthy. Completely defeats the purpose. And the reason I bought it in the first place is because pesticides make your estrogen levels go up. DONT BE FOOLED. Get with the program tea people. Waste of $9.
