Ineeka Tea Tasting in Chicago

This past Tuesday I was at Swim Cafe in Chicago for an Ineeka Tea Tasting. I think I have a new favorite tea. Ineeka Tea was founded in 2005 however the Goel family has been growing tea 1861. The family has about 12,000 acres in India and Ineeka in Chicago, where the company has it's headquarters, gets regular shipments to package for the American market.
