It\u2019s been a long time since the Boston Tea Party, and since then, coffee has taken hold of Americans\u2019 hearts. But tea is making a comeback almost as big as Barbie\u2019s after Greta Gerwig got a hold of her. We imported $508 million worth of tea in 2023<\/a>, more than double what we bought 30 years ago. Tea shops are opening all over the country, and coffee shops are expanding their tea menus to satisfy customer demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While boba shops are fabulous, Asian teas are a worthwhile addition to your tea collection at home. These teas are available for sale at international markets in St. Louis. If you\u2019ve never tried Asian teas at home, a good place to start are with these three: oolong, hojicha, and Korean honey citron tea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oolong tea can be bitter, so splurge for the expensive brands and follow the brewing directions exactly to get the correct flavor. It has a slightly creamy taste, making it the perfect base for sweet tea lattes and milky boba drinks. This pictured version is from China, and it\u2019s a loose tea that requires a tea strainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hojicha is a Japanese tea that you can find served with your meal at many restaurants in Japan. It has a mild nutty flavor with a delicious toasty smell. It\u2019s perfect as is without any sweetener or additions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Korean honey tea is usually citron-based and comes in a glass jar. It\u2019s got a jam-like consistency, and you stir a spoonful of it into your mug of hot water. This ginger version comes in little packs of dried powder that dissolve instantly, and the ginger is helpful for tummy aches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These teas and more like them are for sale at international grocers in Greater St. Louis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
