f reading tea leaves is the key to predicting the future, then the Golden Moon Tea available at Whoopsies! gourmet shop in Middleburg ought to be in your very own future. Golden Moon is a relatively new company owned by Marcus Stout, the son of Middleburg residents Patricia and Jon Stout, and is based in Bristow. However, this is a product not found in your ordinary store-bought tea bag. Instead, Marcus imports tea leaves from five different countries in Asia and sells them as leaves, to be prepared the old-fashioned way. That would be tea leaves and hot water from a tea kettle that are then strained to provide a much higher-end tea, packed with spectacular flavor and all sorts of healthy nutrients and antioxidants. Tea just happens to be the second most popular beverage (behind water) in the world. Marcus also believes that while Americans have bought into the coffee boom, they still have a long way to go before appreciating the sort of tea his company now produces. “Tea has a lot of great things going for it,” he said. “It’s delicious and tasty, and studies have shown it prevents things like cancer, helps with weight loss and has a wide range of other healthy benefits.” When in Whoopsies!, Marcus recommends trying the Coconut Pouchong blend of Golden Moon Tea, which received a first-place prize in the World Tea Expo in Atlanta. After all, your future just might depend on reading those tea leaves.
