Best Tea Selection
Coffee, Etc.
READER'S PICK: Choice blends of herbal, black, Chinese, Kenyan and Japanese teas in a variety of flavors for a variety of occasions; in bags or loose leaf; served in a pot, a press, a cup or by the pound; caffeinated or decaf; for high-tea purists or children's breakfasts on a cold winter morning...Coffee, Etc. covers all the bases. READERS' POLL RUNNER-UP: Cuppuccinos, 3400 E. Speedway
A REAL SCREAM: In the blur of the café latte frenzy
of recent years, people have all but forgotten tea once ruled
the international market and was considered essential for a quality
life. Don't forget it was an outrage over a tax on tea that launched
a revolution. While the British affinity for tea is well known,
Americans have always seemed to prefer their java. However, there
are a few infidels among us who consider a steaming cup of freshly
brewed tea, maybe with a little sugar and a touch of lemon, the
ideal remedy for a gloomy day. AZ Stixx, 3048 E. Broadway,
has an astonishing selection of infusions--a whole separate menu,
in fact, which includes nine varieties of black tea, a few greens
and oolongs, and 10 herbal blends. Infusions of passion fruit,
cinnamon, peach and mango compose beverages bordering on metaphysical:
Change your fate with the "tea of mystery," the "tea
of inquiry" or "sky between the branches." A children's
brew offers a sweet herbal blend of elderberries, blueberries,
raisins, vanilla and hibiscus. Any way you read the leaves, it's
high time to try the offerings at AZ Stixx.
