Do you have a minute for tea? If you’re reading this, it’s more than likely you already are a big fan of specialty loose leaf teas and everything they have to offer. But did you know that there are still people all over the world who haven’t heard “the good word”? With recent news pointing to how “cheap” varieties of tea from your supermarket might be unhealthy, we need more teavangelists than ever! Here are a few ideas to help convince your friends to turn a new leaf and enjoy tea the best way possible.
Come to First Friday
The first Friday of every month sees an explosion of art and live music across stores, boutiques and shops in downtown Omaha. It’s a great time to bring along a friend who’s never tried loose leaf tea. They can check out what the Tea Smith is all about while enjoying great art and making new friends. Can’t wait to check it out? Luckily for you, the next First Friday Artwalk is tomorrow!
Set Up a Taste Test
Put your friends’ taste buds to the test– we dare you! Set up a taste test with a generic store-bought tea bag so that your friends can compare it to your own favorite loose leaf brew from the Tea Smith. Don’t forget to show them the infusion process. That’s half the fun. Don’t be surprised if they don’t need too much convincing after that. After all, the proof is in the cuppa!
Sample Your Way Around the World
Your friends won’t believe the variety that awaits them once they enter the world of loose leaf tea, so it’s up to you to show them! Our Discover the World of Tea Sampler lets your friend get an idea of tea’s diverse offerings. If your friend needs a more regular reminder of what’s out there, get them a Tea of the Month Membership.
There’s never a bad time to come into the Tea Smith, so don’t be afraid to pop in with new friends and family who’ve yet to experience specialty teas. It may take some convincing to ditch generic store bought brands, but you’ll be doing a good deed by helping your pals enjoy healthy, delicious brews. Remember, if all else fails, our very capable associates and Chief Leaf will make a convert out of anyone in no time!
