Why You Should Try the Toasted Almond Tea from Blend For That Tea

In a quest to find an alternative to his morning cup of coffee, Andy Drennen started blending his own herbs from the bulk section at MaMa Jean’s Natural Market. One thing led to another, and he and his wife, Lori, soon founded their own tea company, Blend For That Tea, in 2019. The toasted almond is especially perfect for this time of year. Andy recommends letting this blend steep a little longer to allow the nuts to release all of their flavors, and adding some frothed milk to make it taste a bit like a cappuccino. (Perhaps splash in a little Bailey’s Irish Cream while you’re at it.) Blend For That is available online, at MaMa Jean’s Natural Market and Hy-Vee. You can also try it in a tea cocktail at Vantage Rooftop Lounge & Conservatory or by ordering a full hot tea service at Ocean Zen.
