I Am A Tea Snob

by Mike Sigers

Starbuck's In Owensboro, KY

Okay, fine. I admit it.

I like hot tea. No honey, no cream. No sugar.

Just a really flavorful cup of hot tea, as I slowly get away from SO MUCH coffee.

I’m not giving it up, just cutting back.

My local Starbuck’s has allowed me to try several, several tea’s of late.

BTW – My company made the integrally colored concrete blocks for this store and supplied the rest of the masonry materials.

My favorite so far is one from Tazo – Wild Sweet Orange.

It’s really intense and extremely flavorful. Multiply that by 3 or 4 and you may be close to the experience you’ll get from it.

Here’s what the Starbuck’s website says about it:

” Wild Sweet Orange: A full-flavored, juicy infusion of lemongrass, citrus herbs, licorice root and orange essences. Ingredients: Lemongrass, blackberry leaves, citric acid, rose hips, spearmint leaves, natural flavors, orange peel, safflower, hibiscus flowers, rose petals, natural orange essence, ginger root and licorice root. (Caffeine free). (Available only in filterbags). “

Run down and try a cup and let me know what you think.

What’s this have to do with sales, you ask ?

While I was there, the manager told me he could hardly keep it in stock.

I recommended he order more that he’d been ordering.

There. That’s a great sales tip for him.
