Our #wordoftheday is jardin It's that time of year prepare your gardens for the growing season. Did you know used #tealeaves are great soil additives? Tea leaves are rich in NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) that can benefit your garden or #compost pile. Because tea bags aren't always biodegradable, it's best to use loose leaf tea In #French, 'jardin' refers to a yard or flower #garden, while 'potager' is where you would cultivate fruits, veggies, and herbs. Our Jardin ...Bleu tea is so named because of the blue cornflowers that add a little 'je ne sais quoi'. Do you have a 'jardin' or 'potager' (or both)? Tell us about it in the comments!

April Fool's Day When the Gregorian Calendar changed the New Year from the Vernal Equinox to January 1st, anyone who celebrated the old New Year was considered a fool.

So watch your backs and enjoy the fun of the holiday! #french #tradition #aprilfools #fish #poisson See more

Tea is a the second beverage after water. Traditions and customs of tea exist in more than 120 countries. Per a 2016 study the first country that drink most tea per capita per year is Turkey. Yes, about 3 kilos of tea leaves!!! They primarily drink black tea. ... When visiting Saint Louis a few years ago, we went to a really good Turkish restaurant and of course I had to order tea!

Not sure what kind of tea you like? Or maybe you are trying tea for the first time... We'd love to help you! In the tea room we can discuss what types of tea you may like depending on your tastes and style. You can tell us what type of flavors you like and we will help you pick the kind of tea you might like! Flavors and notes in tea are infinite...

One of Emilie's favorite scented black teas is Earl Grey. It is the West's most popular tea! The delicate and invigorating smell of Bergamot from the Calabria region of Italy is uplifting to the spirit. The taste of bergamot essential oil is like a sweet and light orange peel with some floral notes. It is said that the tea is named after the 1830s British Prime Minister Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey from 1830-1834.... His most notable political achievements include the Reform Act of 1832 and the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833. See more

There are many ways to steep loose leaf teas. In order to get the best result for a better taste, you want to make sure the tea is not over steeped. For that, and especially if you are on the go type of person, we recommend using a strainer or infuser. You can remove from your cup or your tea pot when the infusion time is over. Swipe right for the guidepost on steeping time and temperature for: Black Tea (known as red tea in China)... Puer Oolong Yellow Green White Remember to use good quality water to brew your tea as it will deeply affect the taste. . . . #everythingwaldo #waldostrong #waldokc #kcmo #igkc #kansascity #kclocal #waldokcmo #waldodistrict #shoplocalkc #kclover #kceats #kceat #frenchtea #frenchartoftea #passionthé #tisanesbio #artoftea #looseleaftea #teaeducation #teasteeper #teaproduct #steepyourtea #howto #howtotea #teahowto #teaguide #steepingtimes #teasteepingtimes @ Centered Spirit See more
