hot coffee in a can!

What else can technology bring us you ask? How about hot coffee in a can!

OnTech has created a can that can heat up coffee in a can. They have started with coffee and will put it into other drinks like tea. The can heats up to 145 degrees and can stay hot for 30 minutes, more than enough time to drink 1 can of coffee/tea. It looks like it'll cost about $2.25 a can. Less than Starbucks but is it worth it?



We can't wait for this to come out here the states officially and see how it works. If they have it for tea next year, expect to see it at Paper Street Teas, because this technology is just too awesome to not have.

For now, it's Wolfgang Puck who has licensed his name to be on the coffee cans and will begin selling shortly. You can pick it up at your favorite Krogers. There isn't one around here so if anyone lives near one, it'd be great if you can send us some so we can test it out!

whatcha matcha?

It looks like this powdered green tea is making a big name for itself. Matcha is fast becoming the tea of choice for many stores expecially Starbucks. It isn't surprising to see this green tea gain in popularity as it is blended to create a great tasting drink. Personally I like it blended with half matcha and half vanilla powder to make it a bit sweet.

Overall, it's good to see that this venerable tea is getting the recognition it should. We have thought about carrying it and are still testing out the different vendors as each one has their own spin on this tea.

Here's another interesting article about tea, except this one really focuses on the gift aspect of the teas.

It's really great to see so much news about tea and seeing tea taking center stage in many peoples lives now that there are higher quality teas that taste better and richer and there are so many places to go to and get educated about teas and try some of them.
