Sure enough, those fabulous Tea Forte products *are* on Oprah's list of favorite things.  These are very cool pyramid-shaped silken tea infusers in various delicious flavors including ginger.  Silken infuser is a fancy and accurate word for teabag.  These fancy teabags won the 2003 Best New Gourmet Food Product award in Canada.  There are even little ceramic trays specially designed to hold the teabag before and after use.  I saw Tea Forte at the San Francisco Fancy Food Show in January 2004 and immediately ordered them.  After I got them in stock, I called up my friend Oprah and said, hey, Oprah, get with it.  These are great!!!  She finally listened to me and put them on HER list of favorite things ages later, in Octoer 2004.  You saw them here at the Gourmet Lady first.  Let's just be clear about that.  The Gourmet Lady is a trend watcher, trend setter, and above all, a step ahead of Oprah.  (Note to Oprah:  you go, girl!)  Tea Forte makes a great hostess gift, birthday gift, and is the perfect gift for the thoughtful person who walks your dog, gets your mail, picks you up at the dentist, or laughs at your jokes when no one else does.
