Yes, I have been peddling Mystic Monk Coffee, sold by the traditional Carmelite men in northern Wyoming.
It’s swell, after all, and when you buy it you are helping them live and build a new monastery.
Some of you have been hoping they would offer tea and not just coffee.
The Mystic Monks are now taking advance orders for their new line of tea.
They estimate they will start shipping on 14 April (just a few days from now).
A few from their list:
Earl Grey … or should I say Tea, Earl Grey, hot.
A camomile blend called Peaceful Monk
And they have several other teas with flavors such as peace and raspberry. Go look! And then buy some, if not for yourself, for your:
- church group
- neighbor
- office
- grandmother
Hey… is Mother’s Day coming?
Perhaps their Six Best Blend Gift Set of coffee?
Otherwise they have Gift Cards. I suspect your parish priest would appreciate one of these. Priests like gift cards.
Mystic Monk tea?!?!?! Nice!
What does Peace tea taste like? ;-)
I’ve actually got a mug with the “Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.” on it, but I’ve yet to actually drink tea out of it. I need to rectify that situation. Or perhaps just “make it so.”
Ah, just the thing I’ve been wishing for. I can’t have much caffeine with my medication, so it’s tea for me! Also hat tip for the Picardian reference.
Great news!
I bought the English Breakfast, Mystic Monk blend and the Berry. I’d rather support the monks then the profit hounds of Lipton/Unilever. Plus Lipton if just fannings anyhow. The dust on the floors
Where is that comment “Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.” from ???
I’m glad they’re offering tea now !! I love both tea and coffee – especially since I started drinking Royal Rum Pecan – it is so good.
Niiiiiice.
I drink green or white tea—->helps fight cancer—–>I will wait
God Bless
jmhj5–no reason to wait! Their Blossoming Jasmine and Peach Pizzazz blends are green teas.
I just ordered 12 of each for a our store here.
Lucy, it’s from Star Trek: The Next Generation. That’s how Captain Picard always ordered his tea.
i luv me some Jean-Luc (how can i not? my maiden name is Pickard)…shopping now! :o)
I had a dinner party recently and finished it off with some Mystic Monk espresso and cookies. It was tasty.
I’m more of a coffee fan, but I do love a cup of Earl Grey with cream and sugar…MMM! Great that the monks are carrying teas now.
My wife always thought me strange when I’d stand by the Keurig machine and parrot Picard’s food replicator command, “Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.”
Funny, the thing always obeys me.
I wish I liked coffee more. It’s such a bond with other men.
“All we are sayin’, is give Peace Tea a chance!”
This is so excellent. I love tea. It might be more excellent if I didn’t already have about five pounds of various teas sitting around, but that probably won’t stop me.
Excellent news. I hope they will start selling loose leaf tea too. Even the best tea bag can’t compare with properly brewed loose leaf tea.
Great news! I’m not a coffee drinker but I’ve ordered some tea!!
@ Dr. Peters– same thing with women. I always feel so odd, making plans to meet up with a girlfriend for a “cup of coffee” and then ordering cocoa or tea or something… :)
YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Deo Gratias!
Oh, come, come. What does it matter if you meet for a cup o Joe and then you order tea or hot cocoa ? The point is that you’re meeting to talk and that’s very good.
I wish they had Lady Grey, because I like that better than the Earl.
Would love to get some Earl Grey, but two quibbles. I no longer use tea bags of any sort. Loose Leaf only for me. Better for the environment and it tastes better. Cornflowers have never been part of any Earl Grey that I have seen in the past. Purely Decorative?
What is bergemot flavor? I have always bought tea that contains REAL bergemot essential oil. The flavor is better, it is not artifical and it is natural. I used to be a huge Twinings Earl Grey drinker until they switched from REAL bergemot essential oil to “Bergemot Flavor”. Almost like comparing real vanilla extract to vanillia flavor or vanillan.
I would love to see the monks offer some organic Teas (and coffee). That is pretty much all I buy now. Most people do not realize that coffee plants have more pesticide sprayed on them than almost any other commercial crop.
Which of their coffees is a good match for Starbucks’ Sumatra or Gold Coast? Does anyone here know? I’d certainly rather give the monks my business!
Margaret and Dr. Peters, I wish coffee tasted as good as it smells!
I neglected to mention that I think coffee is the opposite of cigars, which taste better than they smell.
Oooh, that’s nice that the monks are making tea! I like tea better than coffee, tell you the truth. Coffee makes my heart race too fast, and sometimes I get a ‘caffeine headache’ if it’s too strong, or else a ‘crash’.
Now, if I had extra money, I would go to their website, find their snail mail address, and order some!
Methinks’ tealady’ will try their tea!
