The Tea Spot's Green Twisted Spears Featured in Food & Wine

Dec. 9, 2009 - PRLog -- BOULDER, Colorado,  — Featured as one of Food & Wine’s Best Gifts of the Year, The Tea Spot’s Green Twisted Spears are hand-twisted young tea buds from the hills of Sir Lanka. 100% Organic & Fair Trade Certified™, these long spear-like leaves unfurl into a stunning cup of medium-bodied green tea with subtle hints of fruit, and a buttery finish. Green Twisted Spears can be re-steeped multiple times, with each infusion just as heavenly and unique as the previous.

Tea Spot Chef Karen Harbour was absolutely delighted to hear the news.  “We are honored to be recognized by Food & Wine for our efforts in providing consumers high-quality products.
