At TeaFrog headquarters we are always adding new teas, and we are proud to introduce our first Ceylon Orange Pekoe tea to the lineup.

This Orange Pekoe tea is from the Mahagastota Estate in the region of Nuwara Eliya in Sri Lanka. The estate is also known as Lovers Leap, after a well known story. The story goes, that there was a daughter of a king who fell in love with a commoner. This partnership was forbidden, but she did not care, and ran away with her lover. They ended up together at a high rock wall and jumped to their deaths to escape to an afterlife together. This estate is one of the best estates in Sri Lanka. It is known for it's high quality Orange Pekoe teas, and this is no exception. Graded FBOP (Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe), this tea is slightly astringent with lively flavor that is robust and tasteful.

We recommend that this tea is taken without milk, to experience the full flavor it has to offer. It can be consumed as a hot tea, and also makes an excellent iced tea. You can enjoy this tea with dinner, or as an afternoon delight, tho it does hold up as a good tea for any time of the day.

You can purchase this Orange Pekoe tea from our website 24/7/365 for delivery direct to your door!

Perfect. Neither are we.

Welcome to The Meeting House - a church for people who aren't into church

We’re a dedicated bunch of Christ-followers (the literal meaning of the word "Christian") who are passionate about introducing others to the real Jesus of Nazareth. Rather than come to start a new religion, Jesus himself was very clear that he came to call us into a new intimacy of relationship with the Creator of the universe.

If you’re seeking answers to some of life’s deeper questions, if you feel "fed up" with religion but still believe there is something more out there, if you’re looking for a positive church experience around then check us out.

When TeaFrog goes to craftshows, there is one tea in particular that always gets attention, and it is one of the most common kinds of green tea available. It is called Gunpowder Tea, and is named such due to it's appearance.

Green tea leaves are rolled into tight pellets, reminiscent of gunpowder pellets, and thus the name Gunpowder Tea. This is a fairly recent name for this tea, as it has been produced as far back as 600AD, when gunpowder had not yet been invented. It was introduced in the 1800's to Taiwan, and it is surmised that it gained the name Gunpowder Tea shortly thereafter.

Gunpowder Green Tea produces a clear golden liquor when brewed, and has a grassy, slightly nutty, full and rich flavor. It is often blended with peppermint leaves to produce a favorite middle eastern tea referred to as "Morroccan Mint".

When preparing Gunpowder Tea, use slightly less that the usual green tea amount called for (1 tsp) as it expands to many times it's rolled size. In fact, the tea expands so much, it almost looks like your Gunpowder Tea is "exploding"!

Overall this is a tasty green tea, and will brew to a nice iced tea as well as the traditional warm tea. Consume this tea any time of the day, and it goes well with just about any type of food. Be extra carefull not to over steep this tea, as it will very quickly get very bitter, ruining the flavor of the tea.

This year FastCats is expanding their hobby lineup and is very excited to introduce HobbyBots, a Lego robotics camp program designed for children 9-15 who are just as keen and passionate about “recreation for the mind”.

What is Lego Robotics? Is it a toy? Is it a computer? Is it an educational tool?

The answer is - all of the above! It is an ingenious combination of the popular building toy and computer technology. What is it called? It is LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT and it is designed to provide kid with hands-on experience in building, programming and testing their own creations.
