Sometimes making a new flavor can be an unexpected challenge. As we toured the Numi Tea warehouse with owner Ahmed Rahim, it was obvious he and his company are obsessed with tea. It was also obvious that there is a huge variety of teas, teasans, flowering teas, puerhs, herbal teas and on and on. Chris and I left the meeting excited and loaded down with two giant boxes of tea samples.

The reality of what we needed to do next sank in when we laid it all out in our gelato kitchen. We had nearly two dozen different tea varieties that needed to be made into gelato. That’s a lot of work so Chris and I came up with a plan, ask Todd to do it.

We brought 18 samples of tea gelato back for the entire Numi office for a tasting. We were rewarded with huge smiles and kind words. They complimented our fine gelato and we praised their high quality tea. In a few weeks you will be able to enjoy several flavors of tea gelato made with tea sourced from Numi, another great Bay Area company.
