Addicted to MEM Tea Co. “Rose Scented” tea

The South End Buttery first turned me on to a local tea company called MEM Tea Imports. I’m no connoisseur, but I do enjoy tea in the evening.  MEM specializes in high quality loose leaf teas for the food service industry, but Cardullo’s Gourmet Shoppe in Harvard Square sells their tea.

Last weekend when I went to watch some of the Head of the Charles Regatta down by Harvard, I made a quick stop in this gourmet shoppe and purchased MEM Tea Imports: Rose Scented blend which is one of MEM’s scented black teas.  I’ve been including wildflower honey with the tea which only enhances the smooth taste and heightens the fragrance.  If you’re not a tea drinker, I understand that this is probably of little interest, but if you enjoy tea, give this local company a try either at The South End Buttery or online at Cardullo’s Gourmet Shoppe and let me know what you think.
