New Teas for Creativity: Dark Chocolate Puerh and More Inspiring Blends<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re always on the lookout for outstanding new teas, and we never stop crafting our own bespoke blends, too. The work is important to us\u2014innovation serves as the foundation of our business. Sitting still won\u2019t cut it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team members in two of our stores recently devoted time toward blending and finding teas that align with creativity. The idea? With autumn just around the corner and school back in session for many, we need our brains to tap more deeply into creative reserves<\/mark><\/a>. People turn to those flowing juices for everything from writing research papers to learning how to make pottery.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summer is all about taking a break from routine and mental toil. The vibe? A whole lot of, \u201clet\u2019s hang out by the river and watch the dragonflies and hummingbirds buzz.\u201d But with fall comes a vibe pivot, a bajillion variations on a theme of \u201clet\u2019s design a new English-style garden in the back yard that leans into native botanicals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The turn comes with an upped need for creative energy. Few substances compare with tea for jumpstarting and maintaining the sparks that drive us forward, from engaging with mathematics to nailing a PowerPoint deck, making a perfect clay mug or finishing writing the next chapter in that novel you\u2019ve been crafting for more than a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s to creativity and tea! We hope you savor these new additions to the Ku Cha tea family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Teas for Creativity: Dark Chocolate Puerh<\/mark><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n

Let those chocolate dreams roam with this new tea.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

This beautiful tea, custom blended by staffers in our Boulder shop, serves as an imagination engine after it\u2019s been sipped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tea includes China\u2019s puerh tea, the only common style of tea that gets fermented. In addition to this healthy, stimulative tea it also includes Chinese black tea. So right out of the gates, our Dark Chocolate Puerh is tantalizing sippers with complex flavor and modest caffeine. To this we add cacao nibs, which further decorates the brew with intriguing notes, as well as tiny bits of caffeine. To round it out, the Boulder team added vanilla\u2014jelly to cacao\u2019s peanut butter\u2014and \u201csweet rice herb,\u201d a plant called Strobilanthes tonkinensis<\/em> that contains leaves that, when crushed, broadcast aromas similar to sticky rice. It\u2019s quite yummy, and commonly added to puerhs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This amazing plant, when brewed, turns bold blue if an acid touches the liquid. To achieve this effect, simply add a drop of lemon juice to your cuppa\u2019 and behold the enchantment. In addition, this wonderful tea, designed by employees in the Park Meadows store, contains oolong\u2014glorious oolong\u2014 and licorice root. The flavor alone will launch you into an artistic mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it’s simplicity that lights up creative fires.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Sometimes bells and whistles turn people into trailblazers. Other times, however, it\u2019s simplicity. Consider the furniture made by the Shakers\u2014famously spare, simple and inspired. That\u2019s our Narcissist\u2019s Cup Oolong, sourced by our Park Meadows team. This Chinese oolong, handpicked and delicately roasted, sends forth notes of petrichor along with orchid and narcissus flowers. The Park Meadows team named it for its attractive appearance and aroma\u2014give it a shot, and you\u2019ll endorse the name! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
