Exclusive Wood County Museum Blends:

A County Home Christmas – Black Tea 2oz – While at the County Home, the resident’s favorite day of the holiday season was when the matron would be preparing cookies for Christmas day. Starting in the morning, the mouth-watering scents of cinnamon and peppermint would come out of the kitchen. When you sip this tea, you will think of that big platter of cookies and all of the smiles that it made!

Brande-Berry Maple Muffin – Honeybush Tea 2oz – Chances are, you have seen our Brandeberry Wall while walking up to the museum. We honor Superintendent Frank Brandeberry and the wall he created with this tea named for him! Juicy blueberries and maple syrup will delight you morning, afternoon, & night!

Cucumber Watermelon – Green Tea 2oz – When’s the barbeque? We’ll bring the Watermelon….Cucumber Watermelon Iced Tea, that is! Delicious iced, this thirst-quenching green tea is full of watermelon & cucumber flavors! Sit back, relax, and have a glass!

Sweet Summertime – Fruit Tea 2oz – A tea reminiscent of your grandma’s sweet, cooked rhubarb pie, complete with a touch of vanilla and refreshing notes of lemon.
