Oregon OSHA has fined a Portland environmental services company a total of $118,800 for numerous safety violations that resulted in two workers passing out on the job. The fine against River City Environmental Inc. is one of the largest levied by the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division in recent years, division spokesman Aaron Corvin said. The citation lists 10 violations and notes that the problems date to last June, when River City assigned workers to clean filters inside a stormwater sewer at Widmer Brothers Brewing in north Portland. Widmer staff noticed the workers were not taking proper safety precautions and sent them away. They went again in mid-July for the same job, the citation said, and River City again failed to equip and train the workers properly but they were allowed to enter a maintenance hole at the brewery anyway. Their job was to clean, retrofit and remove filters in a tight space used to sift stormwater runoff from a large loading dock, an operation that’s performed yearly, according to the citation. The space was confined and dangerous: The oxygen levels were 12.5% compared with the 20.9% that’s generally in the air. Safety rules allow workers without ventilation or supplied air to enter a space as long as it has a minimum of 19.5% of oxygen. The citation said River City did not ensure that the work was supervised, failed to equip the workers with air testing and monitoring equipment, did not provide ventilation equipment, and did not give them rescue and emergency equipment. It also didn’t inform the workers on the potential hazards of the job or of the potential symptoms and consequences they could face, the citation said, and the company had no procedures to rescue the workers in the event of an emergency. The workers weren’t even trained in basic first aid or CPR, the citation said.

The next morning is spent at 35 Portland Row, the four of you - you, Lockwood, Lucy, and George - pouring over the contents of the file you stole not even twelve hours ago. Still, after a comfortable nap in Lucy's bed, you feel as if you've been running only recently, heart pounding and feet aching. Nothing a good brew won't fix.

"It looks like the mansion used to be home to this family - the Mortons - in the early eighteen-hundreds," George says, pushing his glasses up his nose. "All of them died in a house fire, save for the only daughter and her son. Some theories suggest she started the fire so that her son would inherit the money instead of one of her six brothers, but it was never confirmed. She went mad a few years later while they were living in northern England after the son died from tuberculosis when he was eight."

Lucy frowns, taking a bite out of her glazed doughnut. A few crumbs fall on her pyjamas. "Bit grim. So, do we think it's the dead family haunting the mansion? I mean, they were killed in the fire - if not murdered - so they've possibly got a reason to come back."

"The report says there were at least five Type Twos," you say, carefully sipping your tea so as to not spill it over the aged paper. "Two men, three women. A mix of Phantasms and Wraiths. The kid who died was ghost-touched by one of the Phantasms. The one who was driven mad had been ghost-locked by a Wraith. The supervisor barely got that one and the other agent out alive. Wait..."

"What is it?" Lockwood leans over the arm of his chair, his face coming far too close to yours.

"My old supervisor - she was one of the kids on that case."

"Hanna Reid?" Lockwood takes the report from your hand, scanning over the writing.

"She was your supervisor?" George asks. "Maybe we could ask her for help, see what advice she could give."

You shake your head, taking the report back from Lockwood and trying to ignore how his fingers brush yours almost purposefully. "No, she never spoke about her cases, really. She was a good supervisor, but she wasn't entirely there, you know? Besides, it'd reveal that we were the ones that broke in yesterday. All that would lead to is DEPRAC arresting us and Steve Rotwell sending this company into an early grave."

"So we can't ask her for help," Lockwood says. "What else do we know? Do we have a layout of the mansion, anything else the report itself tells us?"

"Here's the layout," Lucy says, pushing forward an architectural plan. "Big place. It's got a ballroom and everything."

George takes the plan. "The fire originated in the east wing of the house, over by the drawing room, but the report says that the team found a source in the ballroom under the floorboards. Obviously, it wasn't the only source, because there are ghosts still lingering."

"This is assuming these ghosts are the same ones from almost two decades ago," Lockwood reminds you all. "Could be a completely different set of Visitors. They might well have triggered a new haunting."

Lucy groans. "How are we meant to be prepared for tonight? This kind of case needs a few days' worth of preparation, not one morning."

"Not to make things worse," George says, "but Miss Jeffries called earlier on, Lockwood. We're prohibited from using magnesium flares seeing as her party is tomorrow night and she doesn't want her mansion blown to pieces."

Now you groan, plucking an Apricot Danish from the plate on the coffee table. "So a repeat of Combe Carey Hall, then, except this time we won't even have a smuggled-in bomb flare."

"I could arrange something," Lockwood says, his eyes gleaming with mischief.

"No, I don't think that'd be a good idea," George says. "As much as I'd love to get my eardrums assaulted again, we have to go about this all differently."

Lockwood doesn't let that discourage him. "Well, we'll stock up on extra salt bombs, and I can head to Satchel's to pick up some heavy-duty chains."

"Lucy, go with him, won't you?" you say around your pastry. "Make sure he doesn't get flares. I'll pack the bags here."

If the prospect of getting dressed and leaving the house bothers Lucy, she doesn't show it. "I've missed you mothering him."

The comment stops you cold. George chokes on his biscuit. Lockwood isn't moving. Lucy's eyes widen.

"Sorry, I didn't mean -"

"It's fine," you say, swallowing. It's his fault I've not been here to do it. "I'm going to go pack our kits. George, here are the rest of the reports. I'll be in the basement."

--

One of Lucy's mixtapes is blaring from the speakers down in the basement, and the loud music is a good distraction from your thoughts. With it playing, you can focus on oiling the chains you've picked out and packing the kits with everything you might need. Salt bombs - you've spent a good hour or so making another batch - along with packets of gum in each bag to save George having to figure out who's got it, some snacks unique to each person, a flask of tea in Lockwood's for everyone to share. Once the chains are finished, you wind them up as tightly as you can manage and shove them into the kits.

The whole routine comes to you too easily. It isn't hard to forget everything and pretend, and, oh, how you would love to pretend that the past eight months never happened, but you have to keep reminding yourself that it did. After this case, you'll never see Lockwood again.

It surprises you how much it hurts to think about that. You hate him for what he did, and he probably doesn't particularly like you after things you said that extended far past calling him a conceited asshole, but, surprisingly, you hate the thought of never seeing him again more.

This is just a taste of what it would be like to be with the team again, and you've found yourself enjoying it. You've no issue with Lucy or George, but even being with Lockwood isn't nearly as bad as you thought it would be. Do you really never want to see him again?

I'll stay away until you're ready to speak to me again, or forever if I have to.

A little part of you is smiling at the memory of his words. The arrogant prick knew you wouldn't be able to stay away.

"Am I interrupting something?"

You jump, turning to find George at the foot of the basement stairs. "Oh, George, hey! No, you're not. I've just finished packing our kits."

"Oh, ok, just that you were staring at Skull for longer than any sane person would manage."

"Was I?" You look over at the skull trapped in the Silverglass jar, the Type Three only Lucy can speak to, and cringe as he pulls a grotesque face. "Right. Everything alright, George?"

"Lockwood's just called. He and Lucy have stocked up on more chains, filings, the sorts, and want us to meet them at the train station so we can head to the mansion. Better to get a feel for the place as soon as."

"Have you got the information you need?"

George takes off his glasses, cleaning the lenses on his jumper. "Some, but I'll admit, I don't feel good about this case. We've had even less time to prepare than we did for Combe Carey, and we're going in almost completely blind as to what we're facing. Will it be the ghosts of the family? Some other ones we don't know about?"

You can tell that the whole thing is frustrating him even more than he's showing. For George not to have found much on the mansion outwith what you got in the folder from the Rotwell archives, it must be infuriating. You know how much he hates not knowing things.

"Right," he says. "I'll get my shoes on, then we'll go."

And so you do.

Lockwood and Lucy are already at the station when you both arrive, hoisting heavy chains over their shoulders. By the time you reach them, you're sweating from carrying two kit bags plus Lucy's rucksack in which Skull resides. Your respect for Lucy has only increased after having to lug the heavy case around.

"Extra salt bombs are at the top of all the kit bags," you say, handing Lucy her bag and rucksack. "Your belts are also there, with even more salt bombs and pouches of the usual filings. Two sets of chains in mine and Lockwood's bags, one in Lucy's and George's. I've also put some snacks and tea in. Figured we'd get hungry before the night's even over."

Lockwood grins. "You're the best, (name)."

"I know I am. I wouldn't be here otherwise." You reach into your kit bag and pull out a paper bag, infinitely glad the contents haven't leaked. "Oh, also, milkshakes for everyone, courtesy of Arif."

You pass them around - strawberry and chocolate for Lucy, banana for George, your own unique recipe for yourself, and mint chocolate for Lockwood. It feels nice to hand them out, even nicer to have been able to remember their favourites.

Eventually, you all board the train, sipping milkshakes as the air conditioning whirs quietly. The train is packed with people going on holiday, but the four of you manage to get yourselves a table seat, thanks to your heavy kits and gleaming rapiers.

Although you're providing a vital service, you still get glares from some of the passengers. You remind them of exactly what they're trying to escape.

"So, what's new?" Lockwood asks.

George, who sits beside him, spreads his notes out along with a few sheets from the report and images of the house and its layout. Lucy moves his milkshake out of the way.

"Not much, honestly," George says. "Thanks, Lucy. Okay, well, like I said earlier, the source that had been found by the last team was here in the ballroom, but there has to be at least one more seeing as more ghosts attacked on their way out."

"So what are you thinking?" you ask.

He's got that sparkle in his eye again. "There are at least two ghosts left, a Wraith and a Phantasm, but I called up one of the maids who had been working at the mansion and asked her a few questions. She's younger, not young enough to still have any Talents, but her senses are still more heightened than her coworkers. She said the first time she felt one of the ghosts had been on the second floor, up where the servants' rooms are, when she was heading to bed. The second time, the feeling followed her around the house as she was finishing up.

"Another one of the maids was ghost-touched as she was leaving, right at the front doors. Thankfully, she was driven to the nearest hospital in time to get an adrenaline shot and she's in recovery now. Some of the others have commented about feeling like they're being followed or chased, but after the ghost-touch, none of them will set foot in the house."

Taking a sip of his milkshake, Lockwood says, "So, we've got ghosts immediately on the ground floor and then on the second floor, too. That leaves the first floor potentially safe, but we need to keep our wits about us. We'll all go floor by floor to check the place out, together to begin with, and then we'll work from there. Sound good?"

You all nod in agreement.

For a little bit after that, you're able to relax. You sit and sip your milkshakes, talking about this and that, poking fun at each other. It's nice being able to do so, to smile and laugh as if you're just regular kids, hanging out during the summer holidays like kids would've done so many years ago. You can pretend your rapiers and kit bags aren't there, replaced with rucksacks filled with snacks and games to play.

But the feeling is short-lived.

Soon enough, the train stops momentarily at a station, and you all file out, Lockwood leading the charge.

The fresh air, free of noise and air pollution, is incredible. You can smell freshly cut grass and a distinctly summer-like smell, and in the town that connects to the station, you can hear children squealing with glee. It should be lovely to be surrounded by such peace, but the taxi in front of you ruins it.

It's a big slab of black, with a young man in the driver's seat and, while it's different from the night cabs agents usually have to take, it makes you feel uneasy. This case is giving you a bad feeling, and this taxi is only going to take you closer.

It takes a lot of squishing for everyone to fit in the back of the taxi, but you manage eventually. Really, one of you should sit in the front passenger's seat - Lockwood - but the driver insists you'll all fit just fine.

"Ow, Lockwood, you're proper digging me into the door!" you grumble.

"I can't move! Lucy, shuffle over a touch."

"George is in the way!"

"Well, then, George, you move."

"I'm stuffed into the door, too! I can't move anywhere."

"Everybody comfy?" the driver asks. Before any of you even get the chance to reply, he says, "Good. Let's go. Where to?"

Lockwood shifts slightly, elbowing you in the ribs accidentally. "Elmview Estate, please."

The car jolts to a start, and suddenly you're whizzing down the roads at a speed that is probably illegal. You're not sure - you can't see the speed dial. Every twist and turn has you all jamming into each other, and multiple times you end up with Lockwood's elbow dug into some part of your body painfully. Yours does the same, but not every time is accidental, and Lockwood may have caught onto that fact.

If you were travelling a tad slower, you're sure the view would be beautiful as you leave the town and enter the countryside. The distant hills are a blur, and the trees move by so quickly they're but a blur of green. Once or twice, you pass groups of cyclists, and you're pretty shocked by the fact that the driver hasn't hit any of them.

To be honest, this guy's licence should probably be revoked.

But he gets you where you need to go. You reach the estate sooner than you should've which, at least, gives you more time to scope out the mansion. In a very strange way, you're all grateful for the guy.

"Don't tell anyone we were here," Lockwood says to the driver, handing him extra money.

"Gotcha. Stay safe, kiddos."

Then he's speeding off down the lane and out of sight.

George scoffs. "Kiddos. He's not even that much older than us."

Slowly, you all turn towards the house. It's a hulking beast of a thing, towering three storeys tall with massive windows on all floors. Balconies made of stone and wrought iron host beautiful flowering plants. A set of large white steps lead up to the large double doors, made from white metal of some sort and stained glass depicting some scene or another that, really, should be one of the most stunning things about the house. But it's smashed as though someone fell through it. Elm trees surround the house, bursting with green leaves that blow gently in the breeze.

"Lovely place," Lockwood says. "If it weren't haunted, I'd like to live here."

"You've nowhere near enough money," you remind him. "And what would you do with all the space? Imagine all the dusting you'd have to do."

"You sound like my mum," George grumbles. "Every time we used to pass a big house when I was a kid, it was: Oh, imagine all the dusting! I'd love to say I've got a mansion, but I'd hate the cleaning."

"I suppose that's why Yvette has maids," Lucy says, staring up at the house. "If you have the money to own a mansion, you have the money for hired help."

"This is all besides the point," Lockwood interrupts, although he's smiling. "We best get started, check out the house while it's light."

With a big, shared sigh, you all climb the steps into the house.

BUTCHER BABIES played their first concert since the official departure of co-founding co-vocalist Carla Harvey on July 27 at the Stonehenge festival in Steenwijk, The Netherlands.

The band announced Harvey's exit in a social media post on July 20. BUTCHER BABIES wrote: "As you may have already guessed, it is confirmed that Carla Harvey and BUTCHER BABIES have officially parted ways.

"Carla has been an integral part of our journey, bringing her unique talent, passion, and energy to the band. We are grateful for the incredible memories we've made together and the impact she has had on our music and our fans. We will miss her greatly and we wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

"We deeply appreciate your support over the past 15 years," BUTCHER BABIES added. "We feel incredibly fortunate to keep making and playing music as our career, and we are excited for this new era of BUTCHER BABIES!

"See you on the road."

Carla added in a separate post: "Over the last 6 months You may have noticed my absence from BUTCHER BABIES posts. After 15 years of dedication, I wanted to let you know that I will not be rejoining the band for any future endeavors.

"I am super proud of my work with BUTCHER BABIES…2 EPS, 5 Full lengths albums and countless tours with our metal heroes! To all of our incredible BUTCHER BABIES friends and fans…you have provided me with some of the greatest experiences of my life! I have loved every second of writing and performing all over the world for you! I have loved meeting you. WOW. I still can't believe this kid from Detroit got so lucky.

"I am not done making music and performing. I WILL see you soon".

Last fall, BUTCHER BABIES completed a European tour without Carla, who sat out the trek in order to undergo emergency surgery on her left eye.

Harvey shared the news of her absence from the tour on October 26, 2023 in a social media post. The 47-year-old singer, who co-founded BUTCHER BABIES in 2010 with fellow vocalist Heidi Shepherd, posted a photo of her performing with her bandmates, and she included the following message: "Here's a picture of a girl in her happy place; unfortunately i won't be in that happy place on the upcoming @butcherbabies Euro run. Love you all but i have to sit this one out!

"I have a history of problematic vision and I had to have a major surgery about 10 years ago in my right eye for a retinal detachment. On our summer tour the telltale symptoms repeated themselves in my left eye. I've been hoping to avoid major surgery but it is clear that it must be done. My emergency surgery will include a healing process of laying face down for a number of days with a gas bubble in my eye."

Carla added: "This is the first time in fifteen years i won't be able to join my friends on stage but right now my health and sight take precedence for me. While I am gutted that I cannot make the tour the risk of me waiting till after a tour to do such a surgery is too great and includes permanent vision loss. The beauty of having two vocalists is that Heidi can cover for me until i'm better!

"Hoping to make it out for part of this euro run...go to the shows, have a blast and support my bandmates for me! I'll see you soon!"

In the comments section, Shepherd voiced her support for her then-bandmate, writing: "Sending all the love and healing. We'll hold down the fort while you heal. We need those beautiful eyes to work!!! Love you!"

BUTCHER BABIES' three-week European tour is scheduled to conclude on August 17 at the Czech Republic's Rock Of Sadská festival.

This past January, Harvey and ANTHRAX and PANTERA drummer Charlie Benante announced that they were officially engaged.

BUTCHER BABIES released a double album "Eye For An Eye..." and "…'Til The World's Blind", in July 2023. The double album celebrates the tenth anniversary of BUTCHER BABIES' critically acclaimed debut, "Goliath", released on July 9, 2013 via Century Media Records.

BUTCHER BABIES' previous album, 2017's "Lilith" was produced by Steve Evetts (THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, SEPULTURA, SUICIDE SILENCE) and marked the band's recording debut with drummer Chase Brickenden, who replaced Chris Warner in 2016.

In July 2019, longtime BUTCHER BABIES bassist Jason Klein announced his departure from the band. He has since been replaced by Ricky Bonazza.

12/17/2023 (NBS): Belleflower Brewing Company (Portland, ME) "The Devil's Chair" Double IPA (8.2%)

[nwbeerguide]

Celebrating Pride Month, Astoria's Buoy Beer Company releases Pride IPA and a support tee, with proceeds benefitting the Lower Columbia Q Center.

Press Release

Pride Month is fast approaching and each year, Buoy Beer Company works to raise money and awareness for the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Since 2017, Buoy has created a unique Pride Tee to benefit Astoria’s Lower Columbia Q Center. This year, for the first time, they will also be brewing a special Pride IPA to benefit Portland’s New Avenues for Youth.

Both the LCQC and New Avenues for Youth are non-profit organizations that provide programs and services to the LGBTQIA2S+ community. 

Both the LCQC and New Avenues for Youth are non-profit organizations that provide programs and services to the LGBTQIA2S+ community. LCQC’s events and support groups focus on outreach, education, and charity for individuals and families in the Lower Columbia region while New Avenues for Youth focuses on the prevention and intervention of youth homelessness.

One of the latter’s unique enterprises is the operation of Downtown Portland’s Ben & Jerry’s ice cream shop, which helps supply internships and job training for young adults. Another is New Avenues INK, a screen-printing company that also provides career mentorship and will be printing Buoy’s 7th annual Pride Tee. 

Sales from Buoy’s Pride Tees will go towards LCQC while Pride IPA sales will go towards Avenues for Youth.  

The IPA will be available at Buoy’s taproom location at the Astoria Food Hub as well as in cans and kegs at independent grocery stores and local beer bars throughout Oregon and the Seattle area. All three locations of John’s Marketplace will also feature Pride IPA as well as Buoys Benefit Series beer through June. 

“Buoy team members who also identify as members of the LGTBQIA2S+ community were invited, if comfortable, to lead the way in the development of this Pride IPA," says Amy Still, Buoy's Quality Assurance Lead. "This included discussing its can art and design, media surrounding it, and how to use the proceeds. This involvement, as well as sales from the beer benefiting a local organization supporting queer youth, is a step in the right direction for diversity and inclusion to grow and prosper at Buoy and within our community."

For this year’s event, Buoy brewers wanted to create a beer balanced, fruity, and perfect for warmer weather. Their Pride IPA is a West Coast-style IPA that elevates flavors of gentle sweetness and moderately bitter flavors with aromas of tropical fruits and grapefruit, followed by notes of lemon and pine. 

“As a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, it’s an honor to help bring this bold and flavorful creation to life,” says Lauren McGrath, Buoy’s Portland Sales Representative. “We hope it will inspire conversations, foster connections, and contribute to a more inclusive society.” 

Look for Buoy’s Pride IPA at Buoy’s Astoria Food Hub location and at local groceries and bars. To get your very own 2023 Pride Tee, visit our online store or Buoy's Astoria Food Hub location.

Who Invented Nitro Cold Brew?

Nitro cold brew has taken the coffee world by storm. This refreshing drink combines the rich flavor of cold brew coffee with the creamy texture of nitrogen. It’s served cold, often from a tap, giving it a unique and appealing presentation. But where did this innovative drink come from? Understanding the origins of nitro cold brew reveals a fascinating story of creativity, experimentation, and the growing popularity of cold coffee drinks.

The Birth of Cold Brew Coffee

Before we dive into nitro cold brew, it’s essential to know about cold brew coffee itself. Cold brew coffee is made by steeping coarsely ground coffee beans in cold water for an extended period, usually 12 to 24 hours. This method extracts the flavors from the coffee beans without the bitterness often associated with hot brewing methods.

Cold brew coffee has been around for centuries, with origins dating back to Japan in the 1600s. Japanese coffee makers created a method called “Kyoto-style” coffee. This involved a slow drip process that produced a smooth, concentrated coffee. It laid the groundwork for what we now know as cold brew.

In the United States, cold brew gained popularity in the early 2000s. Many coffee shops began offering it as a refreshing alternative to hot coffee. This led to a surge in interest, with various brands experimenting with different brewing techniques and flavor profiles.

The Introduction of Nitro Coffee

The next step in this coffee evolution was the introduction of nitrogen. Nitro coffee involves infusing cold brew coffee with nitrogen gas. This process gives the coffee a creamy texture and a frothy head, similar to a draft beer. The idea is to enhance the coffee experience, making it smoother and more enjoyable.

The exact origins of nitro coffee are not entirely clear, but many credit the rise of craft beer culture as a significant influence. In the early 2010s, baristas began experimenting with using nitrogen gas in coffee drinks. The concept gained traction, especially among coffee enthusiasts looking for something new and exciting.

The Pioneers of Nitro Cold Brew

One of the most notable names in the creation of nitro cold brew is Stumptown Coffee Roasters. Founded in Portland, Oregon, Stumptown was among the first to introduce nitro cold brew to the market. In 2013, the company began serving nitro cold brew on tap at its cafes. The drink quickly became a favorite, praised for its velvety texture and rich flavor.

Stumptown’s innovative approach caught the attention of other coffee shops and roasters. They began experimenting with their versions of nitro cold brew, leading to a wave of new offerings. Soon, nitro cold brew appeared in cafes across the country.

The Science Behind Nitro Cold Brew

Understanding the science behind nitro cold brew is essential to appreciating its unique qualities. Nitrogen is a colorless, odorless gas that is inert, meaning it does not react with other substances. When nitrogen is infused into cold brew coffee, it creates tiny bubbles. These bubbles give the coffee a creamy mouthfeel and a thicker consistency.

The process of infusing nitrogen involves using a specialized tap system. The cold brew coffee is placed in a keg, and nitrogen is pumped in under pressure. This creates a smooth, cascading effect when poured, similar to how a stout beer is served.

The Popularity Explosion

As word spread about nitro cold brew, its popularity exploded. Coffee enthusiasts loved the combination of rich coffee flavor and creamy texture. Many cafes started offering it on their menus, and bottled nitro cold brew began appearing in grocery stores.

Major coffee chains like Starbucks also recognized the trend. In 2016, Starbucks introduced its own nitro cold brew, further solidifying the drink’s place in coffee culture. The move helped to bring nitro cold brew into the mainstream, making it accessible to a broader audience.

Craft Coffee Movement Influence

The rise of nitro cold brew is closely linked to the craft coffee movement. This movement emphasizes quality, sustainability, and unique flavors. Coffee roasters and baristas strive to create exceptional coffee experiences, often experimenting with different brewing methods and ingredients.

Nitro cold brew fits perfectly into this ethos. It showcases the unique flavors of coffee beans while providing a refreshing alternative to traditional hot coffee. The drink’s visual appeal also adds to its charm, making it popular on social media platforms like Instagram.

Conclusion

Nitro cold brew has transformed the coffee landscape, offering a delightful twist on traditional cold brew. Its origins trace back to the centuries-old practice of cold brewing, but its modern incarnation owes much to innovators like Stumptown Coffee Roasters. The combination of cold brew coffee and nitrogen has captivated coffee lovers, leading to its rapid rise in popularity.

Tazo Cucumber White Tea: A Refreshing Blend of Flavors

Introduction: When it comes to tea, Tazo is a brand that stands out with its unique blends and flavors. One such blend that has gained popularity among tea enthusiasts is Tazo Cucumber White Tea. This invigorating and refreshing tea combines the delicate notes of white tea with the crispness of cucumber, creating a truly unique and memorable experience for your taste buds. In this article, we will explore the delightful world of Tazo Cucumber White Tea, from its origins to its flavor profile, health benefits, and brewing tips. So sit back, relax, and immerse yourself in the wonderful world of this exceptional blend.

The Origins of Tazo Cucumber White Tea: Tazo Tea Company has been delighting tea lovers since 1994 when it was founded in Portland, Oregon by Steven Smith and Steve Lee—a team passionate about bringing unique flavors to traditional teas. Their goal was to create extraordinary teas using high-quality ingredients sourced from around the world.

Inspiration behind Tazo Cucumber White Tea: One can only imagine what led to the creation of Tazo Cucumber White Tea—an elegant fusion between white tea and cucumbers. Perhaps it was a summer day in Oregon when inspiration struck—the need for a tea that would not only refresh but also invigorate. The idea of combining the delicacy of white tea with the crispness of cucumber is genius, resulting in a blend that tantalizes the palate and provides a truly unique taste experience.

Flavor Profile: Tazo Cucumber White Tea is characterized by its delicate and balanced flavor profile. The base of this blend is gentle white tea leaves, which are known for their subtle sweetness and light floral notes. These qualities perfectly complement the refreshing and slightly tangy taste of cucumber, creating a harmonious fusion of flavors.

The Delicate Notes of White Tea: White tea, derived from the Camellia sinensis plant, undergoes minimal processing. Its name comes from the fine silver-white hairs present on its unopened buds. This gentle processing allows white tea to retain its natural antioxidants and delicate flavor profile. Tazo sources high-quality white tea leaves to ensure that every sip delivers a pure and unforgettable experience.

Crispness and Freshness of Cucumber: Cucumbers are renowned for their cooling properties and crisp texture. When infused in Tazo Cucumber White Tea, they lend their refreshing essence to every cup. The distinct cucumber taste adds a touch of revitalizing coolness while providing an intriguing contrast to the delicacy of white tea.

Health Benefits: Aside from being a delightful beverage choice, Tazo Cucumber White Tea offers several health benefits due to its natural ingredients.

Antioxidant Properties: White tea contains antioxidants known as polyphenols that help protect our cells against free radicals—unstable molecules associated with aging, chronic diseases, and oxidative stress. By consuming Tazo Cucumber White Tea regularly, you can support your body’s defense against these harmful elements.

Hydration and Detoxification: Proper hydration is essential for overall well-being, including maintaining healthy skin and supporting bodily functions. Tazo Cucumber White Tea hydrates your body while providing a refreshing alternative to plain water. Additionally, cucumber is known for its detoxifying properties, aiding in the elimination of toxins and promoting a healthy glow.

Promotes Digestion: Cucumber has long been celebrated for its digestive benefits due to its high water content and dietary fiber. Tazo Cucumber White Tea, with its infused cucumber essence, can help soothe the digestive system and promote healthy digestion.

Brewing Tips for the Perfect Cup: To make the most of your Tazo Cucumber White Tea experience, consider these tips when brewing your cup:

Water Temperature and Steeping Time: Bring fresh filtered water to a boil and allow it to cool slightly before pouring it over your tea bag or loose leaf mixture. The ideal temperature for brewing white tea is between 175-185°F (80-85°C). Steep your tea bag or leaves for 2-3 minutes for optimal flavor extraction. Remember not to oversteep as it may result in bitterness.

Enhancing the Flavor with Additions: While Tazo Cucumber White Tea offers a delightful flavor on its own, you may experiment with additions to enhance the taste according to your preferences. Sliced cucumbers, a splash of lemon juice, or even mint leaves can elevate the overall experience and add an extra layer of freshness.

Conclusion: Tazo Cucumber White Tea is undoubtedly an exceptional blend that combines two distinct elements—delicate white tea notes and invigorating cucumbers—to create a truly refreshing beverage. Its remarkable flavor profile accompanied by various health benefits makes it an excellent choice for those seeking both taste and wellness in their tea-drinking routine. So why not treat yourself to this unique fusion of flavors? Sit back, relax, sip slowly, and let Tazo transport you into a world where each sip feels like pure rejuvenation. ‍‍

Celebrating the upcoming open of their 19-acre, Party Acres resort, Backwoods Brewing releases Party Acres Hazy IPA.

Press Release

Carson, WA (March 1st, 2023) - Backwoods Brewing releases Party Acres Hazy IPA ahead of opening their 19-acre resort property Party Acres, a playground for lovers of the Gorge.

“We bought the property in 2020,” says owner and CEO Steve Waters, “and have been drawing multiple designs in the sandbox ever since.” They finally landed on a site plan, with Phase 1 being cabins hidden away in the woods in Carson, Washington. The cabins will open this spring, and Phase 2 of Party Acres will be bringing Backwoods’ existing pub and brewery operations on site as well.

Alongside these plans, Backwoods has other fun ideas in the works with an estimated time frame to be decided, including a disc golf course, zip line and potentially an amphitheater for live entertainment. 

“We’ve got plans in motion, and are leaving space to dream up exciting ideas for the property and our cozy cabins.  With all the activities in the area we are excited to give people more reasons to love coming to play and stay in the Columbia River Gorge.” says owner Debbie Waters. 

Party Acres, the beer, is a Hazy IPA made with lush, tropical hops, and is light enough to be enjoyed on any outdoor adventure. Backwoods has been playing with the recipe on draft for over a year, and is finally ready to take it to prime time in 12 ounce cans. It will take their hazy slot, previously occupied by Hazy in the Gorge. 

“When it came time to name the beer, we thought about it for 5 seconds before thinking, ‘Why don’t we name it after the property?’” said Tom Waters, COO and owner of Backwoods, “Party Acres has been a dream of my dad’s (fellow owner Jim Waters) since before I was born.”

“When I was a kid, my buddies and I always wanted a place we could go to get away.” says Jim. The fabled earthly paradise would be called Party Acres. “It’s pretty exciting to be making that dream a reality. But what we’re doing here is going to be a little bit more classy than what me and my buddies had in mind back then.” Born from the vision of a collective place for family and friends to celebrate the good times, Party Acres will be a resort with something for everyone.  

“And in the spirit of Backwoods, we’re aiming for the blend we always try to strike of woodsy and adventurous, while also laid-back and comfortable,” says Steve Waters. “We want to be the place you think of when you want to get away.”

Look for the Party Acres beer in stores and on tap at the Backwoods pubs right now - and plan to book a night or two at the Party Acres cabins beginning in May 2023. 

About Backwoods Brewing Company - Backwoods Brewing is located in the heart of the Columbia Gorge, in the small town of Carson, WA. It was founded by the Waters family in 2012, as a single-barrel brewpub. They now operate on a 20-barrel system in their Stevenson production facility, kegging, canning and bottling beer for the WA, OR, and ID markets. They have also operated a thriving satellite pub in Portland’s Pearl District since July of 2018.Their focus is on balanced beers and comfortable pub settings.
