I've never been a fan of tea, but I am a fan of Ruth Ann Zimmerman and her YouTube channel. So, when she recommended Farmhouse Teas I thought I'd give them a try. I'm glad I did. I ordered the variety pack and got two of the teas for myself, and one for my daughter-in-law. The teas are delicious. I'm surprised that I like them so much. I thought I would just be okay with them, and drink them because they're good for me, but I'm very happy that I like them so much, and go out of my way to make myself a cup just so I can enjoy. On top of that, the way the product was packaged, it felt very much like I was opening a birthday present, and the little gifts tucked inside were a delightful surprise. I'm looking forward to sampling more of these wonderful teas as I become a regular and long time customer.
I've tried dandelion root tea multiple times over the years, but could never get past the taste, so trying Farmhouse Teas' Plain Jane Not Coffee was a bit of a gamble. I'm happy to report that this tea is delicious and smooth. This will sound backwards, but when I'm especially tired due to chronic insomnia, I need a no caffeine beverage. I can't tolerate caffeine when my energy is at rock bottom, it just makes me feel sick. So now I have a delicious hot drink that is so much like coffee that if I didn't know it wasn't coffee, I wouldn't know it wasn't coffee. I drink this tea with RuthAnn Zimmerman's raw egg yolk mix (Homesteading with the Zimmermans on youtube). It's very quick and easy, and makes your beverage smooth and delicious, as well as packed with protein. One raw egg yolk, maple syrup and cream to taste, dash of salt, froth it and add it to your coffee or, in my case the Plain Jane Tea. Delicious.
And then there was the delightful packaging and the thoughtful gifts included with my order. I felt like I was opening a birthday present. Thank you for bringing such a sweet bright spot to my day.
I'm actually going to order more and bring a bunch to share with coworkers for "tea time". I work in the History and Political Science Department and it's been a bit stressful lately lol!
I did enjoy the option to choose 3 samples to try. I can't drink coffee while I am breastfeeding at the moment and the Not Coffee Teas pulled me in. I absolutely loved the packaging and loving attention to detail with the seeds included and the note and samples. One of the samples did not specify herbal or not so I am not sure I can drink it yet, I need to do more research first but excited to try. I did not enjoy the hazelnut one but was able to gift it. I think it was the maca powder that I didn't love. I will say that is not why I rated it the way I did. I was ready to rant and rave about them on social media and then I saw their values described in their description. Unfortunately I can not support a business that is prolife. Every dollar is a vote for the world you want to live in and as this goes against my values and beliefs as a woman and a mother, I do think I have to find a different source for my tea which I have been able to find the ingredients to make my own options if I can't find another small business to support. If you do support and agree with prolife then these teas are really good! just not my... cup of tea, pun intended :)
I recently got my first order from Farmhouse Teas and am so happy with it. It was a special gift to myself! I ordered the Prudent Pumpkin Spice - lovely, warming and nurturing, and 3 of the Kombucha Flavorings. I haven't used these yet but am eagerly awaiting my current kombucha batch to be done so I can try them. I also ordered the "Grow Create Sip magazine which I love... beautifully done! With the order I also received several freebies - so fun! Thank you so much, Farmhouse Teas, for a delightful and uplifting experience in these troubling times. Priscilla
I am delighted to receive the trial size packs as my plan is to include them as small surprises inside Christmas presents for family members. I am hopeful this is a fun way to introduce them to wonderful tea!
The trial size is the best way to taste test the teas! Thank you for this option
I absolutely love that ya'll have this box available! It's such a great way to try some new tea flavors. I got this one for my hubby and me. He loves green teas so I chose a couple of those and I got the orange spice for myself. The sizes are wonderful! Not too big, so you get plenty of cups.
I haven't tried everything yet but I was not expecting the samples to be so large! I love the Chocolate Conniption Not Coffee. Saving my Apple Cider Fix'n to drink by the bonfire this weekend now that Autumn has arrived and save the Yodel A Tea for winter. I'm not a big tea drinker but really want to step away from my coffee routine. Also, really appreciated the sweet personal note from CeAnne. I love your company and look forward to many more purchases! (PS... I also love the Hazel Not Coffee which I purchased on Carolyn Thomas' recommendation.)
The trial pack is such a great way to try new flavors or for teas you don't need much of.
