Tea for Free? CELEBRATE DAVID'S TEA NEW SAN FRANCISCO DEBUT ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 25TH

Complimentary full cups of tea for all visitors Saturday, August 25



San Francisco, CA (August 21, 2012) – To celebrate its West Coast debut, DAVIDsTEA will offer free cups of tea to all who visit its new store in Russian Hill (2123 Polk Street) on Saturday, August 25, 2012. With more than 150 varieties and some never-before-seen flavors, DAVIDsTEA offers teas loose by the ounce and to-go by the cup (hot or iced), in a friendly environment, by well-informed, passionate staff. The company plans to open two more Bay Area stores in September. In addition to its Russian Hill location, DAVIDsTEA will open shops in Noe Valley (3870 24th Street) and Burlingame (1400 Burlingame Ave), which will also serve free tea on opening day.



Since its first shop opened in 2008 on Toronto’s Queen Street, DAVIDsTEA has developed an enthusiastic following, growing to more than 75 shops across Canada. In 2011, the two Manhattan shops – on gourmet Bleecker Street and on the fashionable Upper East Side – brought this unique take on tea to the U.S.'s attention, with NBC's Today Show hailing “teas that take a twist on traditional” and Food & Wine giving a shout out to DAVIDsTEA’s North African Mint, flavored with fennel and black pepper, as “1 of 50 ways to get stronger, smarter and healthier.”



DAVIDsTEA is known for its exclusive signature blends, names like Read My Lips, a black tea with chocolate, vanilla, mint and red candy lips, and Goji Pop, a bright red fruit infusion packed with goji berries. Customers can look for blends with exotic, non-traditional tea ingredients like mulberry leaves, hot chilies, pomegranate seeds, kombucha powder and caramel pieces, and cheeky names like Kiwi’s Big Adventure and Simply the Zest. DAVIDsTEA also carries a wide selection of premium traditional estate teas, like wood-fired Sencha Ashikubo and Nepal Black, a DAVIDsTEA exclusive. And for a true feel-good cup, all proceeds of the Haitian-inspired KANPE Tea (a blend of hibiscus, mango, cinnamon, papaya, banana, coconut and stevia) go towards the KANPE organization, dedicated to long-term relief in Haiti. Finally, Californians should also appreciate the Gold Rush tea, a blend of white tea, golden mulberries and coconut.

It's Not Your Mother's Eight O'Clock Coffee - Columbia Single Serve Cup

-

You may not have noticed, but Eight O'Clock Coffee (which I used to refer to as Eight O'Clock Bean Coffee) has experienced a new attitude. There's new packaging and now there is even an Eight O'Clock K-Cup(R). I enjoy and delight in experiencing artisan roasted coffee and I can ride the "third wave" as good as the next person, but sometimes I just want to remember the way things used to be. So, the Eight O'Clock K-Cup  is the perfect way to enjoy a coffee that's always had a special place in my heart - but with a new twist. All these new single-serve coffees are making me lazy. But, don't worry, I'm an equal opportunity coffee-lover. Here's to the weekend!

All Time Favorite Coffee Jingles

I have consumed a lot of coffee over the last couple of decades, but it's mainly through "trial and error," "word of mouth," or "pure luck," that I found those I've enjoyed the most. And, of course, the folks who reach out and let me know about the great coffees that are out there. But with micro roasters becoming more and more popular, and grocery store coffee being talked about less, even though many supermarket varieties are very good, I can't help but remember some of those jingles and television commercials that remain etched in my mind. Some of my favorite coffee jingles: "Good to the Last Drop" (TM) (Maxwell House) "Richness Worth A Second Cup" (TM) (Yuban) "The Best Part of Waking Up, Is Folgers In Your Cup" (TM) And, last but not least, drumroll. . . .my all-time favorite: "Fill It To the Rim With Brim" (TM) (Brim Decaffeinated Coffee) (special thanks to my sister for remin
