Tea is probably my favorite "souvenir" to purchase when I'm on a trip!

One of the most unique stores in Pigeon Forge is the MoonPie Store and Original Book Warehouse. I did come home with some mini MoonPies I'm looking forward to trying soon—the guava, pumpkin spice, and peach cobbler flavors—but while I was browsing MoonPies, I also picked up this Spiced Apple Butter tea from Asheville Tea Company, a new name in tea to me.

This rooibos tea was a perfect fall beverage for a cool night at the cabin, and my friend Gina and I both enjoyed it very much.

When we were shopping at the Old Mill complex, I found this Maple Peach Black Tea and couldn't try it until I got home (I should have taken an infuser with me), and oh my, is it good. As soon as I cut open the packet, I could almost picture a juicy peach inside, and prepared, the tea's maple flavor stood out as well. Loved it and wish I'd bought more. Next time!

One day's gallivanting took us to a nearby Spice & Tea Exchange, and I couldn't help going home with a few new goodies, including this Peach Tea BBQ Rub Seasoning that I plan to use on grilled chicken soon. I'll let you know how it turns out. Do you buy teas when you're on a trip? If so, got any recommendations of brands to look for?
