Do and Hope Fine Teas

10/11/2026

Wishing all our customers and fellow tea lovers a Blessed Thanksgiving here in Canada. We are truly grateful for every single one of you who have tried our teas, stopped by to talk teas, ordered teas, been our tea of the month club members (The OG's without whom I wouldn't have the courage), Small Holdings Farm and Fossil Farms and those who have purchased teas at the Tatamagouche Farmers’ Market. Thank you, thank you, a million times thank you.

When you purchase local, just know you are very much supporting someone. We count every single sale and are deeply grateful for each one. I, personally, hope that your tea purchase makes a great day even better and can help you through your rough patches.

Christine and the Do and Hope Family.

Ready for Market tomorrow! Come out, pick up your Thanksgiving veggiesand baking and pick up a few teas to pair with your meal.
Squash soup starter? Try Pilchard's Blend to bring out the sweetness of the squash and counterpoint it with ginger and turmeric.
Salad? Try Mountain Mint, Petrichor or Baronet Grey.
Turkey and all the trimmings? Match it up with Sweater Weather or Hiking Weather, let the masala chai fill your senses and compliment all those savory flavours.
Vegetarian main? Try The Gloaming to match those earthy flavours.
Pie to finish? Try Core Memories for Apple Pie, Bumbleberry Pie for Blueberry pie and Audiobook or Bardic Butterscotch for Pumpkin Pie.

Tea is a healthy option for those who don't take alcohol. Or, you can indulge in tea cocktails.
25 g bags are 3 for $21. (Much cheaper than w**e too).

Sometimes the inspiration hits just right.
Introducing: Hiking Weather, our new herbal almost masala chai.
Cinnamon and Nutmeg lead you on into a glorious adventure with Apple (from our trees), blackberry leaf (from our bushes), cardamom, turmeric, ginger (dried ourselves), red peppercorn and cloves.
Light and refreshing, just perfect for heading out into the crispness of Autumn.

Apology:
I have said we cannot grow tea in Nova Scotia.
I was wrong.

Just got my first order of tea from Coastal Grove Farm, a geothermal greenhouse-based tea farm in Port La Tour NS.

Very excited.

I hope to visit some day soon.

Coastal Grove Farm is home to certified organic Nova Scotian grown saffron and loose leaf tea that you're going to love! Coastal Grove Farm - Obviously Organic.

In Do and Hope Tea News:
1)Tea Season has begun
2) We are transitioning to Fall/Winter blends, so drop by our booth to see what's new/returning.
3) Working on some new herbal, green and white blends.
4) Madly stuffing things I find into bags during walks on my property to stock up on ingredients, then drying and storing things like a season maddened chipmunk.
5) In development is also a lactose-free hot chocolate powder.
6) Production of our 2 advent calenders has begun.
7) I'll be needing a cup of tea myself just thinking about this list.

I would like to remind my dear dear Tea Drinkers that should they choose to drink "Pumpkin Spice" things, we do not judge here at Do and Hope Tea. However, we do not enable.
