Tea of the Month 25%off

During January, people tend to think more about their diet and health.  To promote good health, our tea of the month selection is Organic Yerba Maté. 

Yerba Mate is related to the holly plant and is one of the most nutritionally dense plants in the world.  It contains many polyphenols, antioxidants, nutrients and amino acids.  It is known to be a healthy energizing alternative to coffee.  It also can act as a hunger suppressant, which is great when you’re on the go.

Artists Proposals:

Chaibaba is sending out an artist proposal call to have new work displayed in-store for the months of February to April, 2012.  Work needs to suit the tea house vibes, as well as being framed/matted or on canvas/board.  Deadline is Jan.28th.

Currently we are show casing Marion Krahn’s beautiful paintings and photos.  If you haven’t taken a look, come in to the tea house to view them before they’re gone!

New Teas:

Comfort: stay cozy warm with this spiced herbal blend, with chamomile and apple, while keeping your mind perked with cardamom and cinnamon.

Winter Chocolate: This deeelicious rooibos blend was a hit during the christmas season!  We have just ordered more so we can satisfy your chocolate cravings in a healthy way. Sure to be a poplular tea during Valentine’s Day next month. 

Treat yourself to this rooibos blend with cocoa bits!  A decadent winter treat containing chicory, cinnamon, black pepper and ginger.
