2BAsnob

Found this little site from a friends email and they have a nice tea section so I thought I’d show you all.
2Basnob.com (to be a snob) is a website dedicated to all things snobbish if you will. With sections on: coffee, tea, wine, and beer. The site is basically your 411 for all those topics giving you information on types, brewing information, storing and pairing (when it comes to wines). The tea sections has information on the types of tea from green tea to Oolong, there is a section on grading and harvesting and brewing information.
The site seems to be in repair at the moment with the help of “site build it”, so there isn’t that much interaction at the moment there also doesn’t seem to be an active blog. So as for now the site is a nice beginners guild for tea and a place to go to for some good links it would be nice to see the updated version of it but as it stands this site is kind of dead in the water but stay tuned this guy knows his stuff and once it gets up and running again.

Mate Factor

matefactor.ca is the biggest importer of yerba mate into Canada. the website is where you can order from and search their product selection. the top bar on the right has your account info and shopping cart storage, and the left column has the product selection a quick search and company info. on the right column you have your log-in section and the best seller section, and a section for articles that they publish. their product is organic and fair trade. they only sell their own product and don’t have that large of a selection and the site looks like its 5 years old if not more. but its nice to have a site that has Canadian prices right in front.
