I discovered Ausperitea in 2010 by accident when I visited Tucson and strolled around the St…read more Philip's Farmer's Market. I purchased several packets of tea and was blown away by the quality of what I got. Ausperitea has been the main source for my teas ever since then -- that's 6 years as of writing this review. Occasionally I've gone ahead and purchased teas from other companies, but the quality of Joe's teas is simply superior. And so I returned time and again to Ausperitea. My favorites are the Darjeeling (Silk Road Bazaar) as well as the Milk Oolong (Ambrosia). Both have exquisite taste and flavor. I prefer lighter teas (with an occasional Assam thrown in) but upon Joe's insistence I tried his Puerh (Yunnan Treasure) and even though it's as dark as the night it is smooth and flavorful. The fact that I lived in California but have my teas shipped from Tucson has always been a point that my friends teased me about. But hey... you cannot beat quality. And you also cannot beat the fact that Joe is very knowledgeable and loves what he does. About two months ago I ordered a 25 pouch Darjeeling sampler from another company but none beat what I got from Ausperitea. And so, since we just moved to Tucson temporarily, I stopped by at the market this morning and stocked up again. Can't wait to drink them.

So, yesterday I was sweating my behind off at the St. Philip's Farmer's Market....I need some…read morehydration and I spotted some extremely tasty looking iced tea with vibrant colors. Seriously, the colors were gorgeous. Whoa, my tasty iced ginger teamonade (they have a great way with words) was only a dollar fifty-score! You can also get samples, which I had a few tasty samples as well. Everything was divine! Lucky me, the more you buy the more you save and if you are a vendor, you get a discount as well. Plus, they change the teas every week, so if you spring for a cup often enough, you will really get a feeling for what they have to offer. So, yesterday they were offering the following beverages for $1.50 (what a steal): Extreme Zen Blend Fruitastic Fruit Tisane: an herbal fruit blend, strawberry-cherry flavor (purchased to make at home -hot, iced and mixed with lemonade) (replace your child's sugar laden artificial kool-aid with this) AphrodiTea's Kiss Apricot Black Tea: a soothing black blend Sakurambo Black Tea: a mild Japanese cherry black blend, very refreshing (purchased to make at home, plus I got the last one!) (prepare to float away to Japan upon tasting) Silk Road Bazaar Organic Makaibari 1st Flush Darjeeling Black Tea: a traditional black, sweet and floral Ginger Teamonade: a lemonade using our Organic Sunburst Ginger Herbal Tisane (purchased and devoured there....loved the ginger kick, it was heavenly) Moroccan Mint Teamonade: a lemonade using our Organic Moroccan Mint Green Tea Black Chai: our Chai Nirvana Black Tea made with soymilk Pecan Chai: our Chai Nirvana Pueblo Pecan Lapacho Tisane made with horchata Teas and tisanes far and wide were spread out all over their booth....if you have a hard time finding what you are looking for, just ask, they are really helpful! They are also great at returning emails....superb customer service. Plus, Joe told me they are doing a tea tasting event (7/21) at Bing's Boba Tea (which I have been DYING to check out), and yes, I created a Yelp event. Note: the address listed is their commercial address, they are not a brick and mortar establishment. However, besides the farmers market you can pick up the tea online, Acacia, the Tucson Botanical Gardens, the Arizona Inn, The B Line, and Delectables here in Tucson, and they have expanded to the Phoenix and Flagstaff areas too! I simply adore when companies support local businesses and Ausperitea is offering 10 percent off of retail purchases and 50 percent off cup service to anyone who shows them a receipt from Delectables or the B Line during the trolley car construction, because they know 4th Ave. is hurting. Ausperitea cares:-) Guess what else, they used Yelp, when they were determining where to sell their teas- TGFY (Thank God for Yelp) Green tea, white tea, oolong tea, black teas, pu-erh tea and herbal tisanes (no part of the tea plant is used, it is an herbal infusion...plus, they have health benefits) are their specialties. So, not only are you spending your money to improve your health, you can feel good because you are also helping out a small local business to boot.

A fellow parent offered my kids the little treat bags from Bolita Bakery and I immediately started searching for them and gathering intel. It's a registered home baked good and I gather that they bake to order on weekends. My cochinos were baked a day before (bake date was written) and they held up beautifully. I can't wait to try other things from this place and I've already started hinting to my husband he should get me the Valentine's Day treat bag (bolsita de amor) so I can try more things.

If you want one at this cafe, these thieves will charge you for it; however, here is the kicker. The dining area is infested with flies! Flies everywhere! They are relaxing on the tables and buzzing your head. Not just a couple but dozens! Where's the Pima County Health Department?! Very unsanitary and disgusting. We didn't eat much once we seen all this . Just left. Wont be back and certainly don't recommend. Staff could care less and even admitted to a fly infestation. Really? It's unbelievable this place is even allow to operate with such nasty conditions.

Because they are only open for breakfast and lunch, friends who have been here told me you just have to go and brave the wait because "it's just that good!" I needed to find out for myself, so we decided to go on a Sunday for brunch. I think luck was on our side! We must have arrived right between the first and second brunch rushes because even though the hostess quoted a 15-20 minute wait, we were seated in just five minutes. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful. We had only been sitting for a couple of minutes when our server came over to bring water and take our drink orders. She was super friendly and answered all of our questions about the menu. For my meal, I ordered the Chile Relleno Corn Tamale. Wow! I love chile rellenos, and this was by far one of the best I've ever had. The sauce was amazing, and the dish itself was incredibly flavorful, leaving a subtle sweet and spicy kick after each bite. The prickly pear margarita I ordered was nice and refreshing as well. I will definitely be back!

Furthermore, I was trying to complete a task on my phone while leaning against the wall waiting on my drink; and the Lady that took my order remembered my name and asked me if everything was OK and if there was anything she could do. I was so moved by her kindness and remembering my name and with all the orders, That I was very impressed. What is more, this is a very roomy location. I will be relocating to the south part of town, and I am grateful that there's plenty of seating here and even a few cushy chairs for relaxing. Nice ambience and I will add photos when I return. So until then enjoy your coffee all you coffee lovers! Oh yeah, BTW the coffee was good. I had my usual Americano with a couple of shots of mocha. It went down smooth.

When I pulled up to the window, she suddenly started yelling at me, saying I was rude, and refused to sell me the donuts. She told me I couldn't buy them today and should try again tomorrow.
