That leads me to my first local find, the Tea Source in St Anthony Village. Wow, what a great place if you like tea. I walked into the shop and and was taken away by the fabulous smells of brewing teas and the house chai. The chai I was offered was so great, I have to get the tea and spice mix to make my own. I have been drinking it non stop since Friday night and have not missed coffee at all. No wonder being the spice mix is mixed with sweetened condensed milk and that is mixed with the brewed tea. I highly recommend this place if you like tea.
I stopped into this store front on this past week while at work and it housed several small business that had unique products. I found one that I will have to look at again online, ReGreet, they have a very cool concept on reusing greeting cards and to make it fun a way to track it when it has been reused more than once and the miles traveled. If you hate tossing cards and want to reuse them, check this biz out.
At this same place, there was a lady selling honey. I of course don't need any of that since I have a unlimited supply from my dad and his bees. But, she did have a product that I did purchase, bee wax salve with essential oils. Totally love it. I looked up how to make it myself and it is not too challenging so I am going to give it whirl as gifts for friends.
I hope you will check out these local companies in Minneapolis if you are looking for something unique and different or for the tea, something that just tastes great.
I will post later with more info my journey and how it is going for me and my next set of goals.
