Hello Indigo People!

It's been an exciting two months since we reopened our store online. We've received orders for books and other items from old friends and new ones from all around the country.

Thank you, everyone, for your love and support. You have made this transition successful and wonderful.
I love doing this job and look forward to doing this for a long time to come!

Try some of our loose teas! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Books are not the only things available at Indigocafe.com. Among our many offerings are organic loose teas! Here are some of the teas we offer. To see more cafe items, go into our online cafe.

Ruby Fruit gets its subtle sweet flavors from orange peel and chamomile and its tart flavors from hibiscus and rosehips. Perfect with lemon and honey. For a vitamin C boost, steep Ruby Fruit Tea in cold water. Try this one iced!

Peppermint Alfalfa is a traditional combination. This tea is nutrient packed and soothing to the tummy — a great after-dinner tea. Alfalfa is a deep-rooted herb that improves mental and physical vigor and aids digestion. Peppermint is good for stomach ailments (such as gas and indigestion) and it is helpful for minor ailments such as colds and fevers.

Sassy Spice is a truly soothing and warming tea and a delicious mix of zesty ginger and spicy cinnamon and cloves; this tea is designed to increase circulation and stimulate digestion. A perfect way to warm fingers and toes on a cold night.

Ceylon Orange Pekoe is made of Fair Trade Certified-Ceylon teas. The ingredients are from the island country of Sri Lanka, situated south of India in the Indian Ocean. Ceylon teas tend to be strong, full-bodied and very fragrant.

Did you know that you can brew tea with a presser? Riley, our faithful store cat, demonstrates. Here's how you do it.
