Does tea really grow anywhere other than India and China? Well, it can! even when its cold, dark and temeratures are -35 to -50 degrees fahrenheit.  It can grow in Faiurbanks Alaska and quite successfully.

Meet Jenny Tse, owner of Sipping Streams Tea Company in interior Alaska.  Her company is the only tea manufacturing company in Alaska, she has the only farthest north tea farm in the world, and of course now has successfully grown tea in Alaska using geothermal environment in high tunnels.

Her teas are award winning. Her best seller is 1000 mile tea that travels with the Yukon Quest mushers.  Take a listen to her interview with me.  You will get to know a young entreprenuer whose passion and "lets try" attitude is infectious and inspiring. 

If you can, get some of her teas, order online at www.sippingstreams.com or visit her retail store in Fairbanks.
