HOT TEA THURSDAY

Dear Argo, Keep your Lincoln Park location, please. xo, nikhak

chicagobusiness:

Chicago’s Argo Tea has big decisions brewing. The company, founded by Armenian immigrant Arsen Avakian a decade ago in Lincoln Park, is mulling opening more cafes around the world, but the bulk of its growth is coming from the bottled-drinks business it launched two years ago. Argo will release more bottled flavors this year and for the first time will include dairy ingredients, such as a “teapuccino.”

Hot Tea Thursday

Tea-time tea steeper

I am in love with the Tea-time tea steeper for its intuitive design and simplistic interaction between tea leaves, water and steeping time!
A flipping action, akin to starting the timer, sets the tea making process into action. Loose tea leaves and hot water do their steeping business and the ready tea slowly trickles down to the bottom beaker. The timer/filter hold back the leaves and your cuppa is ready to sip!
