I am sucker for a free sample, but very rarely does a sample translate into a sale. It was blazing hot at the Harlem Book Fair 2 weeks ago, so when I passed this booth offering shots of ice tea you know I had to make a pit stop. To my surprise this was more than just a brief respite from the heat - this was some darn good tea! Not only was the tea good, but the owner Jennifer Jackson is a tea expert and her business is based in Harlem. Had to Support.

I am a tea person. I managed to survive 4 grueling years as an Engineering major and another 2 years getting my MBA without getting hooked to coffee or something even stronger. My office is freezing so even in the middle of the summer I am downing at least two cups of tea a day just to keep from turning into an ice block. 

I highly suggest that you get some of this Not Just Tea in your life - STAT. I went with the South African Honeybush Vanilla , an exotic red tea blended with genuine Bourbon vanilla. Its great hot or cold.
