Fall Vibes, Moody Teas, and Farmers Market Farewells: Your Guide for October 16th – 23rd!

Fall is officially here, and with it comes the crisp air, vibrant leaves, and the perfect excuse to indulge in your favorite cozy tea blends. At Moody Teas, we love nothing more than embracing the season with flavors that warm you from the inside out. This week is packed with farmers market fun, but it’s also a bittersweet one, as we prepare for our last Andersonville Farmers Market of the season. Before we say goodbye to one of our favorite markets, we’re bringing out the best flavors to keep you cozy all season long.

Whether you’re a regular at our stand or this is your first visit, we’ve got something special brewing just for you! So, without further ado, here’s where you can find us this week, and what to expect at each stop:

October 16th: Andersonville Farmers Market (3 PM – 7 PM)

Our first market this week is a special one, as it’s our final appearance of the season in Andersonville. This charming, community-centered market has been a favorite for us throughout the year, and we’re feeling a little nostalgic about it coming to an end. But we’re not going out quietly! To mark the occasion, we’re pulling out all the stops with some of our fall favorites, and maybe a surprise or two.

What’s on the Menu for Andersonville?

• Pumpkin Up Chai Latte: Nothing says fall like pumpkin spice, and our Pumpkin Up Chai blends the warm, spicy flavors of chai with the creamy richness of pumpkin for the perfect autumn sip. We’ll be serving it hot, so come by and warm your hands (and heart) with a cup!
• Guayusa Refresher: Need a little extra energy to get you through the middle of the week? Our Guayusa Refresher is just the thing to help you power through. Made from a naturally caffeinated Amazonian leaf, this drink is light, refreshing, and perfect for when you need a pick-me-up without the crash.
• Chaider (Pumpkin Up Chai + Apple Cider): Looking for the ultimate fall drink? Our Chaider combines the rich spiciness of chai with the sweet, tangy notes of fresh apple cider for the coziest cup of the season. Trust us, it’s a crowd-pleaser and the perfect way to welcome fall!

We’ve loved serving the Andersonville community this year, and while we’re sad to say goodbye for the season, we’re already looking forward to next year. If you’ve been meaning to stop by, this is your last chance until 2025, so don’t miss out!
