Sip on Hella Tea

BY TAMARA PALMER

I’m a big fan of Hella Tea, a company started by Oakland-born Chantrelle Edwards. Her tea blends, named after Bay Area and West Coast rap legends, are a go-to gift because they combine two of my great loves.

Earl Grey for my friend Earl Stevens

Chai for the Luniz

The preferred blend for RBL Posse

Hella Tea’s newest creation is S.TEA.U.P.I.D., the latest drink inspired by the late Mac Dre.
