Did you think
it would only be about the tea leaves at the World Tea Expo? Well, tea pots and tea pops would prove you
wrong.
What’s a Tea
Expo without beautiful tea pots?
In the middle
of the convention floor filled with tea merchants selling tea beverages, Fuji
Merchandise Corporation displayed a large selection of Japanese tea wares. I couldn’t help but stop and take a picture
of their teapots. I thought for sure
these pretty porcelain tea pots would be expensive. The tea pots, however, were offered at only
$10 - 12.50. But, this importer of
Japanese wares only sells to retailers, so I imagine these prices may get
marked up.
How about a
tea pop?
The Winner of Best New
Product by the 2013 World Tea Expo is TeaPops by DeeBee’s Organic Frozen Treats. This company out of Victoria,
British Columbia, Canada makes pops from green, white and black teas, as well as rooibos. DeeBee’s Founder, Dionne
Laslo-Baker, PhD, was inspired to make the pops
when looking to give treats to her young sons.
Dionne calls herself a “fanatic about the food her family
eats.” It’s not surprising then that these
pops are ridiculously health and spirit conscious as they are organic, kosher,
vegan, dairy free, gluten free, soy free and nut free. Discerning customers who appreciate
Dionne’s fanaticism will purchase for the quality of the pops. If they purchase one box, they will be yearning for more. Dionne gave me a sample of her pops at the
Tea Expo and they are undeniably yummy - to kids and adults.
I hope you will do a post on all stainless steel electric kettles. I've looked at numerous retailers/manufacturers and have not found one that did not have a plastic bit somewhere inside or did not rust within a few weeks. Thanks!
