Why Use Loose Leaf Teas?

We use them because they provide us with a much fresher product with far better taste and health benefits and tea experts agree that loose teas have the best flavors because the leaves expand and release their full qualities. When you chop herbs into very small pieces the beneficial essential oils present on the herbs are destroys. Because these herbs are full of wonderful flavors, be careful not to overfill your tea ball or strainer.

Enjoy a cup or a pot of Quilter's Comfort, we think you will enjoy it hot or cold. Once you try QCT, you may become fond of our good comforting taste, long lasting quality and very economical cost. We encourage you to share this small comfort with friends.

July 2011

It is now the last days of July. It has been a wild and unusual month with temperatures up into the hundreds and very little rain! A few days past we received a break in temperatures on the tail of some welcome and much needed rain. There is a field I pass most of the times I travel into town and some years I have seen them cut hay two, other times three times by this time of year. This year they managed to get in one cutting and because of the weather may be able to get another. The grasses have been growing at an extremely slow rate.

Things are progressing with the business and I have been searching for a house to move everything into. I have reconnected with Seed Core (Small Business Administration) as I update my business plan. Every reviewer (all randomly chosen) has responded positively to the idea, and I have a few individual investors for that reason. One investor came on board after reading the Bloom Mag article. I am no longer shocked over the rates for rental and purchase properties and though not setting my sites low, am being creatively open to what may be the perfect beginning place for me. I'd wanted to find a place with rent with option to buy and land. Now I am open to what may be a place to establish and define my business and when ready, go forward into something long term.

With June came the release of All Ears and All Ears 2 - No Caffeine, custom blended for the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington's Chalice Circles (Small Group Ministry) program to support deep listening, is a success! At that time I also released Orange Earl Green. Because of the interest offering prepared tea (the Indiana Artisan Law makes it possible to directly retail to customers), I participated in a festival to give myself the opportunity to experience how I would go about serving tea in public spaces and how I might organize my products to offer ready made directly to customers. This also created an opportunity to receive great feedback on my products and presentation. In July tasters gave QC the go ahead to release Chamomile HipHop. All tea blends are available for retail purchase.

If you are in Bloomington, Indiana, in addition to the above establishments, you can find Quilter's Comfort teas on the menu at Player's Pub, Roots on the Square, Rachael's Cafe and Max's Place. Want to buy some to enjoy at home? Stop in the Players Pub, Bloomingfoods Eastside or Downtown store (down the alley off Kirkwood); or you can purchase teas directly from me, by making an appointment to pick up your teas from my Reiki Peace and Wellness Office.

What's coming this fall? Green Dove, blended with a mind toward peaceful intentions and what for now are being referred to as the B'town Blends.
Thank you for your purchases.
