It’s Nothing But a Tea Thing: Tea Lovers Unite


Coffee lovers, this one isn't for you. It's nothing but a tea thing, baby, and I am sharing why tea will always trump coffee in my book.

Let’s get this over with right now—I don’t drink coffee. At all. Nah. It’s never been my thing.

I do, however, love a cup of good old fashioned tea. My all-time favorite is Lavender Earl Grey Tea with a touch of tea (because that is how the English do it, and they are royal Tea Culture), a dab of honey, and a little sweetener (Agave, please). Give me a cup of this after a long day of work and your girl is feeling oh so good.

Coffee lovers, this one isn't for you. It's nothing but a tea thing, baby, and I am sharing why tea will always trump coffee in my book.

I’ve been a fan of tea since I could remember. My grandmother would make me hot tea in a kettle when I was little, and from there, I was hooked. She also used to give me coffee, but I didn’t like the taste of it. I much preferred leaves over beans and tea bags over coffee grounds.

This girl isn’t a tea snob, either. I like all kinds of tea and I enjoy all temperatures as well. Hot tea may be my favorite, but I also get down with iced tea, too. A good glass of sweet iced tea on a hot summers day is heavenly—this is one of the reasons why I enjoy visiting the South so much because—sweet tea! But during my latest jaunt to the former Confederacy, there was no sweet tea to be found.

Damn.

Coffee lovers, this one isn't for you. It's nothing but a tea thing, baby, and I am sharing why tea will always trump coffee in my book.

Anyway, I also like indulging in Tea Culture at Teatopia, a Black-owned tea spot right here in St. Louis. I first indulged in their full-bodied teas when they first opened, and since that time, they’ve moved to a larger location because they are that dope. They’ve even been named St. Louis Business of the Year.

Reginald Quarles is the owner and Head Tea-ster in charge, and is really passionate about tea. My beau and I visited Teatopia recently (because he is also a tea drinker and that is just one other thing we have in common that makes our Black Love so amazingly amazing), and I got my Earl Grey tea fix like only I can when I patronize Teatopia. I love the way they steep the tea leaves (no bags here) in the perfect temperature, and mix it with your favorite add-ons should you want them.

Coffee lovers, this one isn't for you. It's nothing but a tea thing, baby, and I am sharing why tea will always trump coffee in my book.

I enjoy the community feel of the joint, and it is perfect for the unpolished and laid back vibe that is Cherokee Street. Why, if I lived in this area, I would probably be in the place for my daily tea fix. Instead, I am about 35 minutes away, so I have to settle for less than frequent visits.

With 89 types of teas (they even offer smoothie teas), there’s something for every tea connoisseur. Teatopia is a tea dream, and I cannot wait to visit again—soon.

It’s Nothing But a Tea Thing, baby. You coffee lovers are going to have to understand.
