Summer 2010


Late summer is our most bountiful time. Farmers markets, road-side produce stands and home gardens overflow now with seasonal fruits and vegetables.
Even though 'back to school' means fall is approaching, there are lovely warm days ahead with opportunity for picnics, al fresco dinners on the patio and the sweet taste of summer meals.
 

We have what your summer pantry needs: 

extra-virgin olive oils
piquant vinegars
savory mustards
crunchy sea salt

and fresh, aromatic spices
to dress up the simplest dish with ease.

Happy Summer !

 
 

Pontefract Liquorice Cakes



Pontefract liquorice is appealing due to its soft, chewy texture and the fact that it is long on liquorice flavor without being too sweet, or salty or ammoniated. The coin-thin shape of each candy is pleasantly chewy and substantial, and not thin or gummy or sticky in texture. The flavor is pleasantly strong and natural tasting - not overly sweet or cloying. I like to think of it as the ' liquorice lovers liquorice ' or liquorice for grown-ups.

Regatta - New!
Our Summer Tea

 

Sailboats cutting silently through the waves, the gentle caress of a sea breeze, and the cool slap of salt water spray – oh yeah, it’s summer.  Whether you are racing a sailboat, rowing a longboat to victory or simply watching from the shady shore, a tall, cool glass of our Regatta™ iced tea is just what the skipper ordered.

Regatta™ is a hearty black tea with the luxurious, fruity taste and aroma of tropical fruits. Imagine mango and passion fruit underscored with a little rose and a scattering of jasmine blossoms and you are close to tasting it.  Exotic without leaving home, Regatta™ hits the right note served iced or hot .

Our Books

 

 Our New Book is Here!

Do you have your copy of our newest tea book, The Tea Enthusiast’s Handbook: A Guide to Enjoying the World’s Best Teas ?

This book is small but mighty, and packed with essential information. It is a worthy companion to our James Beard Award nominated tea ‘bible’ The Story of Tea: A Cultural History and Drinking Guide, and is also published by Ten Speed Press, Berkeley, CA.

The Tea Enthusiast’s Handbook is available from local independent book shops and also from online booksellers. Autographed copies are available from us, through our website or in our store in Northampton, MA.

" A game changing book about tea. This is a book that every tea drinker should own, enthusiast or not, and in my opinion it is the most substantive book about tea to be written in English."

Austin Hodge, Seven Cups Fine Tea
