Black Garlic is new. Boy is it new. Black garlic is fermented for three weeks - under strictly controlled conditions. The best way to use this garlic is at the very last minute. Heat reduces the sweetness and flavor of black garlic so add it at the end of your cream sauce or with butter over pasta. Roasted vegetables love this garlic - toss it in when you take it out of the oven - just before serving.

Steven Smith knows about tea. He created Stash Tea, grew the business then sold it. He created Tazo Tea, grew the business then sold it.

His eponymously named teas are clear, crisp, honest examples of a craft perfected over decades. Oh, and we carry them now. Check them out.
