Hi again! As we make our way through murky waters, I want to continue to share small businesses with you that have great products! I feel the effects of the virus on both sides. As a small business, I see sales slow and overtime as funds get tighter for everyone, they may cease. As someone who has a blog and likes to share and try new products, I know that the least I can do is to share businesses with you!

Many of you know about my tea boxes by now, people are currently opening the spring box! When I start to curate these boxes, I try to fit a theme but also fill it with items you may not know about. I love finding small businesses that I can support. One of my favorite parts about the boxes is that while you are supporting my shop when you buy the box, you are also supporting several other businesses!

Cafe Warshafsky is a business that I was considering for a future box. I hadn’t purchased from them yet because I wanted to make sure the timeline is right and the product can be consumed asap at it’s freshest! The box I wanted to use them for isn’t happening for a while so I decided to order some for myself to enjoy during our time stuck inside.

Cafe Warshafsky bakes delicious shortbread in a variety of flavors, they also seemed to have recently added caramels to their offerings! They are currently offering free shipping on two or more items so I decided to get myself the sampler tin and I got my mom a box of the matcha shortbreads. She loves matcha everything!

TEA + SHORTBREAD = AMAZING

So first off their packaging is adorable! I also highly suggest their tin because you get to try several flavors and it comes in a convenient tin for storage to take out when you’re having tea! They were also kind enough to include a sample of their strawberry shortcake shortbread and a rose caramel!

So the tin I got comes with 4 different flavors and 3 packs of two shortbreads so 24 total! Of course my main focus was the tea flavored shortbread but it just so happens that I LOVE rose water and coconut so this box was made for me!

So taste test wise, they were all delicious! I like that they are sweet but not overly sweet. I actually enjoyed these with a session of pu’er and it the two went really well together!

If I had to pick a favorite it would actually be the lavender coconut! This one has such a unique flavor !

Btw, these are the petite shortbreads. If you get the regular sized ones they are a 2in while the larger ones like I got for my mom are 3 inches. I really do like these mini ones and two of them were plenty!

From the time these were ordered, they arrived super quickly and not broken! The one that is shown broken is actually my fault :) They were all sealed and stay fresh up to a month!

If you are in need of a treat for your tea or just in general check out Cafe Warshafsky!
