On September 28th we will be serving tea at the Santa Fe International Conference on Creative Tourism. Along with New Mexico Tea Company there are many other tea establishments from around New Mexico that will be participating. The conference is a forum for identifying economic opportunities, improving skills, and developing best practices for creative tourism programs. Broadly defined as engaging visitors in a place's culture through active participation, creative tourism provides the possibility for economic growth to destinations willing to offer travelers a chance to express themselves by becoming personally involved with a community's heritage.

In addition to this, through the month of September we will be providing free iced tea at the downtown growers market at Robinson Park (8th & Central). (More Info)
And don't forget our tea tasting and classes. Tastings are on Friday evenings, and classes are on Monday mornings. Reservations required. (More Info)
Featured Products:
 Genmai Cha: This is a specialty Japanese green tea that is blended with fire-toasted rice. A good grade Japan sencha is blended with the toasted rice. The fresh vegetative character of the green tea is imparted on the cup but it is tempered with the character of the rice. ($3.25/oz)
-
 Rainbow Rooibos: It tastes like a mellow, herbaceous Cederberg Rooibos blended with a medley of fruit and balanced out with a touch of Amaretto.
($3/oz)
-
 Roasted Mate Chai: Roasted Mate Chai with its heady blend of Brazilian mate, black tea, and rich spices. The kick comes from the caffeine content of mate, sometimes called matteine, which is generally higher than that of black tea.($3/oz)

Tea History:
The Chinese had two words for tea 梌 (tú) and 茶 (chá). In the west "tú" eventually became tea in English, thé in French, tee in German, and so forth.
In the east "chá" became chè in Vietnam, Çay in Turkey, and Chai in India.
So as you can see, Chai simply means tea. However, when English speakers say "chai" they are most certainly referring to "Masala Chai", which means "spiced tea" and is a common drink in India. The spices used can be almost anything, but in general they include ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and clove.
Thank you,
