Vintage Teas is a product that has the most amazing 'eye catching' packaging and tastes devine.  Being a green tea fan and having tasted many different varieties, it is one of my favourites, it's light and nearly fruity in flavour that doesn't leave that nasty after taste.  I have yet to get through their complete range..:) but if this is anything to go buy then it's well worth stocking.

If you have shelf space in your shop, put a range of tins out for retail sales, serve it to your customers, talk to your staff about up-selling the tea.  It's amazing how quickly people can start to talk, before you know it a customer takes a photo, sends to social media sites and guess what your business has just had a plug on-line because of this great tea!  They also make a great gift, just another reason to get these on your shelf...:)

Vintage Teas offer two cartons, one is a mix of their individual foils, tins and organic range and the other a food service carton for the bulk purchases.

A customer recently asked me if the 30 foil envelope boxes came in silver envelopes or a similar pattern as the box?  They come in a similar pattern as the box, so to serve this next to a pot of hot water is worth doing, create an experience for your customer to come back for...:)

Vintage Teas have a new range coming soon, should be up and running in the next few days.

Have a great day and we hope you've enjoyed the blog.

HELP.GOODFOODWAREHOUSE.COM.AU - New information portal, updated daily with Customer Q&A's 

Uptown Entertainment offer a huge range of slush syrup and 99% juice flavours.

Most cocktails made from scratch require a number of different ingredients to get the end result whereas with slushie cocktails just add the alcohol, along with flavours like citrus juices.

Slushie cocktails take a fraction of the time to prepare and make around 10 - 12 litres in a single batch depending on whether you go for syrup or 99% juice base to begin with, much easier than traditional cocktails.

Here are some suggested cocktails based on their best selling flavours all listed on our site;

Blue Hawaiin
Blue Lemonade syrup or Blue Raspberry 99% juice base - add White Rum (500ml), Blue Curacao (200ml) , Cointreau (200ml).

Tropical Paradise
Tropical syrup or Tropical 99% juice base - add White Rum (700ml)

Rum, Bourbon or Scotch & Cola
Cola syrup or Cola 99% juice base - add Rum, bourbon or scotch (700ml)

Strawberry Daiquiri
Strawberry syrup or Strawberry 99% juice base - add White Rum (700ml), Cointreau (200ml) Fresh orange or lime juice (100ml)

Mango Daiquiri
Mango syrup or Mango 99% juice base - add White Rum (700ml), Cointreau (200ml), Fresh orange or lime juice (100ml)

Raspberry Kamikaze
Raspberry syrup base - add Vodka (700ml), Raspberry Liqueur (100ml), Triple Sec (100ml)

Lime Avenger
Lime syrup base - add Vodka (700ml), Fresh Orange or Lemon juice (300ml)

Well worth doing if this suits your business.
