In desperate need of a sweet afternoon treat but unwilling to sacrifice myself to the calorie catastrophe in my favorite mocha latte (whipped cream on top is always a must!)…this KDHamptons writer found myself at Hampton Coffee Company in Water Mill. I recently heard about the dessert tea they carry so I decided to investigate. Not much of a tea drinker, I was hopeful this Republic of Tea creation would be as sweet as it sounds~ and I was not disappointed!

My flavor of choice was the Strawberry Chocolate… Mmmmmmm! It was definitely lighter than my typical afternoon pick-me-up and the rich cocoa flavor is sure to satisfy any sweet-tooth… for ZERO calories!

Since 1992, The Republic of Tea has been “Leading the Tea Revolution”. True-to-character The Republic of Tea refers to their community of tea-lovers in the most appropriate fashion. Citizens (customers) may visit Embassies (retail outlets) to stock up on favorites from super-fruit green tea varieties, to wellness blends including Get Gorgeous for Clear Skin, Get Smart for Memory/Focus, and Get Some Zzz’s for Rest. Also offered is a children’s collection. Better yet, most of their teas are certified gluten-free by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO).

The Republic of Tea will be sure to tranquilize your temptations with dessert tea and allow you to take your day sip-by-sip rather than gulp-by-gulp. Indulge at Hampton Coffee Company by the cup for just $2.00, or take home a tin of 36 unbleached, all-natural tea bags for just $12.99!
