No matter what story you have for the story behind the nickname, Chicago is, in fact, a windy city, which makes it necessary to have a hot beverage from time to time (if not all the time).

Tea has become popular in Chicago because is the perfect beverage to mitigate the effects of the chilly winds; and Tea Sante has the loose leaf teas that will not only warm you up, but they will also fill the area around you with an alluring aroma and make your taste buds very happy.
