Summertime is here, and the weather feels like a Hawaiian Paradise. Families go to the seashore and enjoy the abundant sunshine. Here in the Northeast we treasure every lovely summer day that comes our way. We truly appreciate the sentiment of the poet James Russell Lowell who wrote, “What is so rare as a day in June?”

Here at Trenton Teas we like to sip on our indulgent Hawaiian Paradise Green Tea to celebrate the season. We drink it hot first thing in the morning, and iced when the sun beats down on the rest of the day. Its flavors of the tropics, coconut and almond, transport us to an island paradise, even if we don’t live near the ocean.
