What an adorable little tea shop in a sleepy, small New Mexico town! We were passing through on a…read moreroad trip in late 2020 (a COVID-safe way to travel), and stopped here to stretch our legs. The tiny town of Mesilla has a quaint downtown square with a few specialty shops and restaurants and, as a tea lover, I made a beeline for this place. The shop is stuffed with all sorts of loose teas, local products, honey, essential oils, and tea making accessories. Pretty much any of the locally made items would make outstanding souvenirs for any foodie. I make hot tea a lot, so I wanted to peruse all the loose leaf teas. My normal tea shop has a better and larger selection, but I really wanted to support this small business. I had a few questions about the teas for sale, and while the girls working the day I visited were very eager to help, they were sadly not well-versed in tea. Because of this, I ended up just purchasing a standard oolong because I didn't have a lot of confidence in their tea knowledge (just FYI; hopefully the owners will do a bit better training). I don't expect workers to be brew experts, but I would appreciate more thorough knowledge about specialty products. The prices are about what you'd expect for a touristy type tea shop, and when I got home, I made a pot of the oolong and it was tasty. If you love tea, check this place out if you're in the area. Friendly people and good customer service.

Lived many years in Texas, and counted down each year until the big roasters in front of Central…read moreMarket were filled with fresh hatch chiles. Those sights, smells and sounds get in your blood, and the roasted or fresh hatch options in much the rest of the country are pretty sparse. I tried to resist the urge to order from the Hatch Chile Store because it seemed so expensive and indulgent. Finally I caved and ordered a 10 lb box. Shipped overnight, the chiles were about the most beautiful I'd ever seen, fresh and big. 10 lbs felt like a good generous amount, and not so much as to be overwhelming to deal with. Didn't take long at all to give them a roast on the grill, peel, seed and prep for the freezer. So high praise for the store delivering on the promise of authentic hatch, trusted to be the heat level I desired. Is it worth it? Locally they're about $2.40 for a 4oz diced can, and look to be around $4 each via amazon, if the local is out of stock or doesn't carry. Those cans give you some hatch flavor, but are kind of sad, especially when only the diced version is available. The 10 lb box ended up being 5 lb prepped, or about 20 4oz freezer portions. Considering the cost of the shipped chiles and premium overnight shipping, that's about $3.40 each. So it's not the cheapest way to get your hatch on, but opening the box is exciting, roasting and prepping is a labor of love, and you end up with a much better product for a somewhat comparable cost per serving. As long as I'm far from Texas and the Southwest, come hatch season each year, the Chile Store will definitely be getting an order from me.
