Named for the grand tradition of Grindhouse theater, a term used for underground theaters that showed movies some mind find distasteful, disruptive, and against the status quo in the '30s, this shu tea will blow your mind in all sorts of ways
.
Rich, intense earthy notes of the shu Pu-Erh wrap around nutty notes of pistachios, delicate rose, and a perfect blend of flavors to make for a dark, nutty blend. This one won "Best New Tea" at the winner's tasting circle at 2017's World Tea Expo, so you know it's gotta be good!
Why would we name a pistachio shu "Grindhouse?" Well, to be frank, it tastes like buttered popcorn. Weird, I know, I'm not sure how either, but it does. The more sugar you put in, the more it does. ESPECIALLY as a cashew-milk latte with a touch of sugar. Buttered popcorn latte. Try it!
