During the January MN Tea Society meeting I had the pleasure of getting to know Mr. Yadav who helps run Himalko. When he said they were located in Eagan, MN I was flabbergasted. How did I not hear about this amazing company only 20 mins from my own city? He brought three samples along with him and needless to say I am excite to try all of there tea! Come to our next meetings to be able to sample their amazing teas.

TeaTiff Picks: Gold Black. If you enjoy black tea this one may very well become a shelf keeper. From the creamy peanut butter aroma in the dry leaf to the fresh cut wood and fresh cream notes in the flavor this one is a winner. Plus it can be infused at least 3 times.
