I love supporting women in business. If they are in the tea business, I’m even more eager to give them a plug :-). A friend of mine recently sent me a link to Pen & Jen’s Tea. Based in New Jersey (my old stomping grounds), this tea duo sells tea through their website – from oolong to chai to rooibos, they’ve got a wide range available. They also offer a variety of samples and gift items.
For the tea newbie, the site includes an instructive page on the making of tea with hot tips including:
* not allowing the water to boil as this preserves the oxygen allowing more subtle flavors to be released from the tea
* use infusers with lots of room (not a tea ball)
* warm the teapot first to preserve the temperature of the water

If you’re a tea gal (or guy) already sold on the benefits of tea, consider joining me on my tea tour to China in September. Tea is the new coffee and this is sure to be one of the most memorable trips of your life.
Happy Travels!
