Thanks, Amber, for trying out my teas and writing such a great review of the line. And congratulations to Nikki and Donna, Scarlet's Letter readers, on their win of a box of tea of their choice!
"I love tea. I like to say that it's part of the reason I haven't had a full on cold in about two years. I don't drink soda, I haven't had one sip in the past 5 years, so tea is an awesome alternative for me. I also love cute girly things, like lipstick and flirty designs. So when I recently stumbled upon StripTeas I was seriously smitten. How cute are these?? Just what is a StripTeas, you ask? Not your average tea bag, that's for sure! StripTeas is a cute single serving of tea in a recyclable aluminium package. They literally look like cute "strips" that you can dunk into your mug and brew some delicious and exotic tea for yourself, one serving at a time. StripTeas was started by Emily Koteff. Emily came up with the awesome idea to bring these fun single serving tea strips to America after venturing to India and seeing how much love and quality goes into the tea there, the exotic scents and flavors of the tea. Discover flavors such as Darjeeling, Sweet Khus, Mint, Masala Chai and more. These teas are a cute alternative to the regular tea we see in many stores today, and these would even make awesome gifts for baby showers or bridesmaids. StripTeas even has their very own blog!

Old news is new to me!
Thanks, Google, for alerting me to this review, written by Chelsea in Seattle last October when my teas were first making their way into the world. I now offer seven blends instead of six and have moved from Seattle to Los Angeles, but I love what she had to say!
"I was visiting my favorite coffee shop, Muse Coffee Co. this weekend on Queen Anne and discovered Brent is carrying a new, hip, spectacular, fun, yummy tea called Strip Teas.
The design of these little puppies is just ingenious. In a tall aluminum foil perforated pocket, the entire tea "strip" is environmentally sound and 100% recyclable. The unique shape allows for the tea leaves within to unfurl releasing the fantastic flavors into the water and is the perfect shape to act double duty as a stir stick!
Packaging is just charming and the teas come in six spectacular flavors including Masala Chai (a black tea with ginger, pepper, basil and a touch of cinnamon), Pushkar Rose (just as it sounds, flavored with rose) and Maristar (with marigold petals and sweet anise).
Strip Teas is the brain child of Emily Koteff who lives here in Seattle, so support a local business woman and pick up a cup of Strip Teas at Muse Coffee Co. today"

"Give your bf that StripTeas you've always promised" - LA Pretty
Today on the fabulous LAPretty.com:
"As you may have guessed from our last post, we LA Pretties are getting pumped up for Valentine's Day. I even started my day off with a super sexy breakfast compliments of LA-based StripTeas.
StripTeas is the culmination of an East-meets-West partnership between LA Pretty Emily Koteff and genuine tea guru Mridul Tiwari from Jaipur, India. Available in 7 flavors, the teas were personally created by Tiwari who also creates teas for the five-star Rambagh Palace in Jaipur, the exclusive Trident Hilton and the luxurious Palace on Wheels.
These teas are far too special to be served up in plain ol' bags! Their fresh, whole leaves and exotic herbs instead come in cute "strips" which allow for the tea leaves to move around in the hot water so that their flavors come alive. Want an even more intense flavor? Then swizzle that puppy around and give those yummy tea leaves even more room to move.
Regular tea bags can also contain adhesives and even bleaches which will compromise flavor. Instead, StripTeas use aluminum foil to package their leaves, the same material used for organic coffee and fine chocolates.
Pick up some boxes, including one that contains all seven varieties, from their online store (enter Feb14VIP before 2/7 and get 10% off your order!), or from Clever (2823 Main Street, Santa Monica)."

Happy New Year
Only two weeks late, right? :/
There has been lots going on, most recently a fabulous tea party at Clever in Santa Monica. Over a dozen lovely ladies showed up for tea, scones, finger sandwiches, and champagne. It was a delight to meet everybody and I hope to host more tea parties soon. Thanks so much to Radka, owner of Clever, for such a great night out.
I'm also pleased to announce that StripTeas will be making its first appearance at a trade show this week at the Dallas Gift Market! Apparently 250,000 people come to shop each year - yikes! I'm thrilled to be in the Portico Collection showroom with other fabulous lines hand-selected by a wonderful group of women, all veterans of the retail industry, whose taste and style are obviously top notch :)
And lastly, I want to thank James Lemmo for his beautiful product photography, which is now featured on my website. I also never thanked Beau Gunderson for the wonderful close-ups of the teas, as well as the time and effort he put into my site's launch. Couldn't have done it without him!
I'm currently perfecting a delicious Maristar cocktail once teatime is over and happy hour begins, so check back soon for the recipe!
