When Mrs. Potter Palmer (Bertha Honoré Palmer), the well-travelled and powerful Chicago socialite, first set eyes on Sarasota in 1910, she proclaimed ‘Here is heaven at last’.
She soon owned 80,000 acres of what is now Sarasota County, operated a successful ranch, and made her graceful winter home and gardens at The Oaks on Historic Spanish Point.
Sarasota County celebrates the 2010 centennial of her arrival and honors the significant impact Mrs. Palmer made on our culturally rich and prosperous community. Please join us in raising a cuppa Bertha Palmer Centennial Tea to this incredible woman!

Tasters Review:
I’ll be honest…I was worried about the fennel and licorice, at first…BUT…after tasting it…I worried no more! This was nice! Sure I could taste those two ingredients but they were slight hints of each. The Peppermint, Rooibos, and Lemon are the primary flavors here – and I found this blend of flavors to work very nicely together!
It has a refreshing aftertaste and I love that Local Coffee & Tea’s Sip Locally Offerings all tell a story!!

Tasters Review:
This one really surprised me. I went into this thinking it was going to be all about the sage for some reason but there is a lot of other flavors going on here. It’s pretty good! I’m sure the peppermint had something to do with it. Many of you know how much I like Peppermint!
I can taste the peppermint, sage, and bergamot. The Lemon is noticeable but blends in with the bergamot mostly. There is a slight sage aftertaste a little bit more sage than peppermint. This is very different but pretty good.
