Just Add Honey Tea Company

Your morning brew binges have you sipping (too soon), straining (to see the front of the line), and raising your pinky with the best of ’em.

Why not consider a simpler source: Just Add Honey, a new local tea company that makes self-serve tea a snap.

Atlanta food and fashion stylist Brandi Barnes started the company after London schooling left her yearning for quality teatime.

Her in-home tinkerings led to inventive mixes like chocolate mint rooibos, green caramel (made with bits of the real stuff), and cinnamon orange spice (a vanilla bean and citrus peel blend). Teas are packed in cute tins with how-tos for brewing them hot (jasmine pearls), cold (berries), or chai (chocolate delight), so you can let your inner barista go wild.

Just not too wild.

It’s not like you’re drinking coffee or anything.
