Lisa Garza to Help Launch “I Heart Boba”
Posted on September 14th, 2010 by Joanna England | Filed under Blog, Dining, Preston Forest
If you love boba, the Taiwanese tea with tapioca, your new favorite shop is likely the aptly named, I Heart Boba at Preston and Forest.
The tea shop, a partnership between Boba Tea and Village Tea Company, will kick things off with a grand opening party at 7 p.m. on Friday. Local restaurateur Lisa Garza of The Next Food Network Star fame will host the event, which will feature several different kinds of tea and their signature orange crush smoothie.
“I’m really excited to be a part of this new concept with such a great group of guys and can’t wait to grown the concept in the Dallas area,” said Martin Ekechukwu of Village Tea Company.
Mobile Teapot & Tea Giveaway
I seem to have developed a fondness for tea. Don’t get me wrong – I still like my coffee (black), but tea comes in so many amazing flavors and doesn’t keep me up at night 
Tea used to be my hot drink of choice when I had a cold, but now I seem to be having a cup, or two, every evening.
Village Tea Company sent me this wonderful package to try, tell you about and they even offered to do a give away. The package included a Mobile Teapot and 5 different teas to try.
The larger container is Sweet Grace Vanilla. It includes to bags of loose tea and 10 – 100% natural paper filters so I can make my own tea bags. The smaller teaser packs are Cherry Me Bloom, Organic Lemon Ginger Green Tea,Sassy Green Tea, and Simply Earl Grey. Each teaser is packed in 100% recycled and recyclable packaging!! LOVE the Cherry one!! The other teas have wonderful flavors also, but for some reason the Cherry is my favorite I really need to convince my husband to try the lemon ginger one – it would be great for his cold.
The Mobile Teapot is amazing! You place your loose tea in the pot, add boiling water (about 1.5 cups) and let it sit for 5 minutes or so. It has a wonderful reusable filter so you don’t get the tea leaves when you drink, though they do seem to mostly settle to the bottom in about 5 minutes time. The container is plastic, but even after adding the boiling water and waiting, it’s not hot just nice and warm. I was a little worried that I wouldn’t be able to hold the pot, but was quite surprised how it holds the heat in, but the container stays a nice temperature. Every evening I have to go play with the dogs in our boarding kennel and have started taking the teapot with me It’s a great way to stay warm on a cool evening outside.
If you are a tea drinker and like to take it with you – I would highly recommend getting the Mobile Teapot, and also the tea from Village Tea Company.
Village Tea Company Review
I just love herb teas! And Rooibos Tea’s are a type of herb tea. I was excited when I contacted Village Tea Company and they let me pick 2 teas for a review. That was when I did a little research and found that Rooibos tea is not even made with tea leaves. I was excited about that!
Village Tea Company has a large selection of teas to choose from and they come in these nice little canisters! The tea comes as loose tea in a bag and then you just put it into the little tea packets.
Sweet Grace Vanilla Rooibos Tea is a really nice flavorful fruity blend. I shared this with with Jennie when I was visiting and she loved it! I like to add a little spenda and milk to my teas.
Cherry Me Blossom Rooibos Tea with Acai~ Jennie and I both loved this one, and it’s my favorite of the two! How many cups of tea are to many in a day?
Be sure and check out all the great flavors of tea they have at Village Tea Company. Fall is in the air and it’s just the right time to sip some nice warm tea!
You can connect with Village Tea Company on these social media’s, Twitter and Facebook.
We had the pleasure of being invited to the opening of I Heart Boba by the Fashionistas. It’s a wonderful spot that I can picture using for a casual “meet me” or “lets talk” here type of place.
Next Food Network Star Lisa Garza was on hand to help kick things off in this swanky lil place decorated style of a private village getaway.
I Heart Boba, featuring over 100 different flavors of Boba tea flavors and combinations, is located at 11661 Preston Rd. Suite 210 – next to CVS and Sunstone Yoga.
Boba tea, a traditional Taiwanese style tea drink with fresh tapioca pieces at the bottom of the drink, has been modernized to include coffee, smoothies, slushies, juices and flavored jellies all customizable to your taste.
“I’m really excited about the design. We want this to be a nice and comfortable place to hang out and enjoy the atmosphere and beverages,” said Martin Ekechukwu, CEO Village Tea Company LLC.
Thanks again to The Fashionistas, Hamilton Sneed of HAS Events and Mr. Martin Ekechukwu for the invite.

Coffee or Tea?
Both for me!! LOL!
I love coffee and I love tea, so trying out Village Tea Company was the perfect excuse to get ‘tea wasted’ for awhile.:)
The good people over at Village Tea Company, sent me an awesome package that included a full size of Sweet Grace Vanilla Rooibos, “Village Teasers” of Simply Earl Grey, Cherry Me Bloom Rooibos, Gentle Organic Lemon Ginger Green Tea, and Sassy Green Tea with Acai. Also include was the Mobile Teapot.
My favorite out of the teas was Sweet Grace Vanilla Rooibos, a fragrant bit of heaven. The vanilla is perfect with the rooibos and perfect for any time of day. I added a bit of cream and sugar and it was divine. The full size teas come with 50 filter bags to craft you own tea bag. Perfect when I want my drink to be bit ‘heavy’. The mobile teapot is fantastic for on the go. I haven’t quite got the the loose tea and filter part right, though. I think I suppose to heat the water, put the loose tea in and then strain it through, I think. Its safe to say, I’m not Go-Go-Gadget Jamie! lol!
Tasters Review:
I’ve had great luck with the offerings from Village Tea Company and here is another one. It’s called Strawberry Passion and it’s a White Tea and it’s darling!
This is a gentle yet flavorful strawberry flavored white tea. It’s very good both hot and cold. It’s smooth but fruity and fun and thankfully NOT sour or tarty or puckery. The perfect flavored white tea to escape from everyday hustle and bustle.
I received the Mobile teapot and a lemon ginger green tea from Village Tea Company to review. Ya’ll may remember I worked with them awhile back and my mom still loves her tea from them just as much. Thanks to this company from the beginning is the reason my mom tried herbal teas like green tea and some of the others, which is way more healthier and she needs it anyways. She had a teapot for the house but she is on the go alot when she goes down and spends time and sees if she can help out the landlord during the weekends so this mobile teapot really came in handy. Ma said its so simple to use just put your tea in the bottom part add water let it sit while she gets ready feeds the animals and all that good stuff so by the time she leaves its perfect so she takes it with her and through out the day instead of drinking sugary sodas, or black or orange tea which is loaded with caffeine and all she pulls out her organic tea in the mobile teapot pours herself a glass and it sifts right through so no tea leaves in her glass. This was a great idea my mom said because she remembers when you had to fish your tea leaves out of your tea just to drink it where with this you get the great flavor with no leaves or mess to cleanup. My mom said the tea she received was ok but she liked some of the other teas she still has from before from this company better, and plans to buy more in the future when she needs it from Village Tea Company, I definitely recommend this company.
Hey everyone! My next review is for the Village Tea Company. Village Tea Company is this great tea company that have amazingly flavored teas and even have their own cafe in Texas. As the website says: “The Village Tea Company is all about the escape from the everyday. We believe that in our lives, there is nothing better than kicking back with your family and friends over a fantastic cup of tea. Not just any tea, Village Tea.”
I am now forever spoiled. Little ordinary tea bags are not going to cut it for me anymore I received a sampling of teas and their new mobile tea pot fromwww.villageteaco.com to review. I am a big tea drinker.
One of the things my bff Jessica and I love to do when we get together is tea drinking (it is actually considered an art and a common activity in Taiwan). We love trying new teas together (either at tea houses or at our homes). As such, when I received my package of teas from Village Tea Company, I had to try them with her.
Jessica is teaching Chinese at the local college, but she has more free time than the normal school year, so we have been able to get together to try tea more often too . We were able to try Smooth Jasmine tea, Ginger Orange and Ginseng tea and Cherry Me Bloom tea.

There are several reasons I was excited to try this tea from Village Tea Company! First…anything with SASSY in the name…I’m game! But more importantly ACAI. I have had many failures with Acai flavored teas. TOO MANY. This tea was very different! This is the Acai Flavored Tea I have been searching for!
Sassy Green Tea with Acai from Village Tea Company smells a bit like JUICY JUICE – at least that is what first came to mind when I initially sniffed it – or a fruity wine. When I sipped this I could still taste the sweet-green tea but pair it with fruity goodness – and there you have it! I can taste Acai, Orange, and Peach but can barely taste the ginger, chilies, and cloves which is completely fine with me. I think the reason for them – and the reason it works – is to make it so the fruit flavors are not over powering or bitter or too tarty. I think it also contributes to the lingering yet warming affect it has long after the sip is complete!
