Comments on: Cu-tea, Tea Forte http://www.browniepointsblog.com/2005/12/02/cu-tea-tea-forte/ a good girl's notebook of her culinary world Fri, 30 Jul 2010 18:28:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Uli http://www.browniepointsblog.com/2005/12/02/cu-tea-tea-forte/comment-page-1/#comment-142903 Uli Wed, 05 Aug 2009 17:32:09 +0000 http://www.browniepointsblog.com/2005/11/24/cu-tea-tea-forte/#comment-142903 Unlike Celestial Seasonings teas which have very little packaging (with most of it recycled) these tea's are a criminal waste of resources. My tin box was inlaid with cardboard and than each tea was wrapped up again. The teas aren't even sealed for freshness! No wonder they are so expensive. Your not paying for the quality of the tea, your paying for garbage. The United States produces enough garbage to cover Texas twice and by choosing companies like this you are directly contributing to the problem. The beautiful thing about capitalism is that your choices can literally change the world. Peace.

I am a big fan of Celestial Seasonings, but I must admit, have the tea leaves and flowers in larger pieces within the pyramid-shaped infuser does give the flavor a certain pop. The price is too high for every day use, but it's a great gift. My sister gave me a gift pack of Tea Forte products, and it is fantastic tea.

  • Yes- I agree :) I’m inclined to order some for myself as a Christmas present this year as they are oh-so-pretty.

But I do want one of these tea pyramids very badly and I'm generally a loose leaf fanatic. The copy on the Tea Forte website makes me suspicious:

They're so cute - I actually bought a couple of the ginger teas and use them when I want to have a 'special' cup of tea and be all ceremonial about it. That picture brings a nice springtime moment in the midst of all that rain outside our windows!! <ul> <li><em>No kidding! Last night I kept flicking on the weather channel to see if we were freezing yet (only 38F). Everyone from the Seattle area is having fun learning if they can drive in the white stuff. Yes, of course I'm moderately jealous :) --McAuliflower</em></li></ul> I love Tea Forte tea bags!
