To serve: Warm in oven, skillet or microwave until it glistens: cut in strips and serve as an appetizer with salsa, chutney or savory dips.

We just made our sock selection even better by adding Hollow Compression socks to the line up!

Reduce swelling, ease that heavy, tired leg feeling, and support healthy circulation from your very first wear.

All-Day Comfort That Actually Lasts!

Baby alpaca fiber feels softer than cashmere but maintains its compression for 12-18 months.

No more replacing stretched-out socks every few weeks. Open daily in downtown Banner Elk - 10 am to 6 pm!

Vibrant strawberry with just a blush of lemongrass.

Bright lemongrass, non-intrusive but stately Ceylon black tea, and perfectly restrained strawberry. Beautifully simple, beautifully delicious. Sometimes the difference between a vulgar, utter lack of subtlety and a tea giving pure delight is as thin as a blade of lemongrass.

Now we’re making it blush.
