Swizzle Sticks by Tay Tea are aesthetically pleasing, functional, and most importantly, delicious. The swizzle sticks come in your choice of Saffron (two for $4) or Amber (two for $3). Grab that hot afternoon drink and give it a spin; it sweetens with the barest hint of saffron, the golden sugar streaked in saffron threads, sweet and earthy. The Amber is equally subtle and almost warming. I like to dissolve half the stick into one cup and save the other half for a second serving. The flavors won't compete with your drink as much as it will play a modest complement, a finely spiced change to your everyday cup.
