I was eager to get in touch with Lake Missoula Tea Company
when I found out they were located in one of my favorite cities. I travel to
Montana every year and the fact there’s such a great tea company up there and I
haven’t been to it is astonishing to me. I fully plan to remedy this problem
the next time I’m in the neighborhood. In the meantime, I would like to tell
you how much I enjoyed trying their teas. When I pick a tea that’s just right,
I want it to have several layers to it and smell so good that I’m excited to
drink it.
Each bag of tea from Lake Missoula Tea Company was better
than the last. After opening several bags, I thought I reached the end of their
selection. I was surprised when I looked on their website and found they have
dozens of other fantastic varieties. I
talked with someone from Lake Missoula Tea Company about something called
purple tea. I didn’t even know that purple tea was a thing. I want companies
like that in my rolodex, not the companies who take the weakness of my taste
and encourage and enforce it.
I recently had a cold and I tried their Beat the Snot Out of
You allergy blend. As I drank it, I was reminded of the tea my mother used to
make me when I was younger and feeling under the weather. I looked forward to
this tea every time I got sick because I knew that it would boost my mood at
least for a little while. I feel the same way about this tea now. I’m currently
hoarding the small amount of this tea I have left. I dread the idea of running
out.
I’ll be the first to admit I’m not enlightened when it comes
to tea. I started this project as someone who was all on board with coffee and
unreasonably opposed to tea. I couldn’t pinpoint the reason why I stayed as far
away from tea as I could. Usually, if I have negative feelings, it’s based in
some sort of undesirable experience. I had the hardest time figuring out why I
avoided tea. Anytime this has happened I’ve determined that these irrational
feelings are more the result of a lack of understanding than sound reason and
logic.
I appreciate companies like Lake Missoula Tea Company for
enhancing my appreciation of tea while also broadening my knowledge of the
various types that are out there. This review encompasses a small section of
the teas they offer. I like to tell the whole story of a company instead of
taking some of their products and using them as a means of interpreting what
the entire organization does. I get that it probably seems redundant to review
one type of tea after another. I prefer to approach things differently than all
the other coffee and tea reviewing blogs. I want to invest my time and talents
and treat these companies as well as I feel like they need to be treated.
There doesn’t seem to be a magic bullet when it comes to
covering a company the right way. My goal here is to have reviews that propel
companies into the stratosphere because each one of them deserves that status.
I do not have that power yet, but I would like to have it one day. I have
received many messages that question the way I review coffees and teas and that’s
fine. I am neither a specialty taster, nor someone who has all the information
about everything that’s brought to my intention. The arrogance that comes with
both of those ways of thinking is appalling. That’s why I love Lake Missoula
Tea Company.
Missoula is a city that’s not large or small. It’s more in the
middle. You won’t have a hard time finding something happening in this city. Occasionally
you will run across some crowds, but they’re not as intimidating as the ones
you find in bigger cities. I’m well aware of the fact that not everyone will have
the opportunity to get to this part of Montana. If you want to know what
Missoula is like, order a few packages of tea from Lake Missoula Tea Company.
Their tea will transport you onto the humble streets of Missoula and sit you in
a cozy little shop on Main Street.
