Zoomdweebies – My Cup Of Tea

Recently I blogged about Nothing But Tea, a British company selling my two favorite teas.

There is another place on the Internet that sells wonderful loose flavored tea. Zoomdweebies. Their flavors are often not strong enough to survive the splash of milk we Brits like to add, but they stock a huge variety of wonderful, unusual types. Black, green, white and rooibos teas, whatever takes your fancy.

I don’t always put milk in my tea, and for those occasions I actually favor Zoomdweebies.

I recently tried their Turtle Cashew tea, which was gorgeous, but I also have a hankering for their Buttered Rum tea. Of great interest to Doctor Who fans might be their Weeping Angel tea. Yes, they are self-proclaimed geeks (not just when it comes to tea, it seems). When they learned Joe Hill liked their teas, they created the NOS4A2 tea.

They also sell wonderful iced teas. Each pack consists of a single humongous tea bag, large enough for one or two liters (that’s two to four pints) of iced tea. Every week (or almost every week) a new flavor is added. And when it’s gone, it’s gone. Unless they run a special, where they offer out-of-stock items for a limited time.

If you like tea as much as I do (I rarely drink anything else), check them out. They’re based in the US (with free shipping, I believe), but do ship to Europe. The prices are reasonable and shipping is lightning fast.

As always, I have no affiliation with Zoomdweebies and don’t even get a discount. Just trying to bring tea to the world…

Nothing But Tea

Nothing But Tea is a new discovery that has me singing its praises. I love flavored loose black  teas. Loooove them. Most of the time they smell fantastic but don’t taste of anything much. Occasionally you get lucky and get a good one.

I’ve tried tea sellers in the UK, the USA, Germany and other places. Without a doubt, Nothing But Tea are the best.

I’m not affiliated with them, except I’m a repeat customer. Their 100g pouches are roughly £6, but you can buy larger quantities with savings (although their price, roughly $9, for a big pouch already seems good-value for me).

What’s brilliant is is that you could also order small 10g pouches – enough for 3-5 cups of tea, for £1 ($1.50).

And the flavors are amazing. With and without milk and with or without sugar. I bought the samples, just to see, and by Jove, the teas taste as advertised. The Scotch Acorn is amazing (hard to describe, but let’s say the word Scotch is not a random choice), and I’m a huge fan of the coffee cake. It actually tastes like…coffee cake. The strawberry pepper has a lovely strawberry flavor, although not much pepper. Their rose marzipan hits you with marzipan first, then with a subtle aftertaste of rose.

Seriously, try them. Check out all flavored black teas here: here.

Delivery (super fast) within the UK is only £1. Shipping overseas is possible and will depend on weight. Feel free to contact them or check out delivery info: here.

Of course this is only my opinion. And I’m not saying there aren’t good places to be found elsewhere. But I haven’t had a bum flavor so far, which in my experience is unusual.
