Making frothed milk is not overly difficult and can really make a cup of tea extra special. All you need is some milk (the higher fat milk the better) and a great cup of tea. Let's get started! What types of tea go best with frothed milk? Really any tea that you would normally add milk to. But two of our favorite teas to get frothy with are Pumpkin Spice tea and Chai.

We lost 6 years to that process. 2 years ago, we did our first batch of large scale cuttings ourselves and it was successful. We are putting them out this year and filling in a major...
Over 10 years ago we took a vacation to a tea farm and left asking, "could we grow tea?". We planted 6 tea plants by the house and said if we could get just one tea plant to live, we will give tea farming a go. Over half did not make it. We decided to follow through on growing tea, based on three living tea plants. We knew we didn't want to raise cattle which had been done on the family property in the past. We also considered tree farming but tea plants just seemed far more sustainable with the increasingly harsh weather. Tea plants can handle the Hurricane winds better than a Pine Tree. We would go on to plant 30,000...
