PaulaWalla ~ A Woman-Owned Online Tea Gift Shop {Review/Sponsor Spotlight} #CoffeeTeaRevue

 

I love tea! Hot or cold, I love it! I prefer unsweetened black iced tea and hot green tea with honey and lemon. I used to just buy whatever tea was available on the shelf at the grocery store, now I look for fair trade and/or organic loose leaf teas. I still buy some of my favorite teas at the grocery stores, especially seasonal ones or plain black and green teas. I fell in in love with loose leaf tea earlier this year and I look for it now in specialty stores or tea shops. It is amazing that tea can come in so many different varieties.

 

PaulaWalla Imports is one of those specialty stores that sells different kinds of teas and accessories that go into making tea.  PualaWalla carries tea cups, infuser tea cups, covered tea cups, tea pots and more. There is also loose leaf, organic and fair trade tea to choose from. Paula opened PaulaWalla Imports in 1997 and it is based in Windsor, Connecticut. Paula is a world traveler and and is the moderator of Windsor Freecycle, a local group determined to keep good, usable items out of the landfill. {Find your local Freecycle group at www.Freecycle.org}

I was sent a beautiful Flora and Fuana Infuser Tea Mug and Fair Trade Zhi White Blueberry Tea. I was almost hesitant to request a tea cup because I have plenty of mugs. But then I realized that I would love a tea cup just for me…like it would be “My Tea Cup”. I also love that the tea cup is an all in one infuser as well. It is easy to steep the tea and then remove the leaves and enjoy. Plus, the Flora & Fuana Infuser Cup is adorable!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The porcelain Infuser Tea Mug comes in three pieces: a lid, an infuser and the cup. The mug is both microwave and dishwasher safe, but I prefer to hand wash it. You can steep both loose leaf tea and bagged tea in the infuser section, whichever you prefer.

 

 

The Fair Trade Zhi White Blueberry Tea is amazing. The tea tastes sweet and you can reuse the tea for multiple steepings. It has light caffeine. The tea is made from organic India White Tea blended with organic blueberries, blue malva flowers, and botanical blueberry flavor. Can you taste it?

 

 

I loved using my infuser mug and truly enjoyed the white blueberry tea. I appreciate that the tea is fairly traded and that Paula looks for ethical companies and organizations to support.

 

You can purchase these products and more on PaulaWalla Imports. The Infuser Tea Mugs are $11 and the Fair Trade Zhi White Blueberry Tea is $16.50.
