The San Diego House

I loved this place. It is a tea lovers heaven! I got two teas when I stopped here. There are so many options and I wish I had more space for tea in my house. They were super nice. Also there are ingredient lists on the back of the containers. I just like looking at them bc I already kind of know what I will and won't like in tea.

We discovered them about four years ago on a quick trip from Alaska. Been ordering regularly ever since. We've had teas from Singapore and Thailand but even those don't compare. I adore Chris and his staff for their outstanding customer service and quick response to any questions. We'll be leaving overseas at the end of the year and I plan on ordering A LOT of our favorites to take with us.

OMG....their Nutty Doodle is like none other We travel all over and found this as the house coffee at one of our favorite restaurants in the harbor in Oceanside. We finally ordered from American House. ..6..because we got a deal that way. But its not overpriced and there is NOWHERE we could find it but the company itself. Lots of nutty coffes out there...lots of cinnamonny coffees out there.....but nothing like this brew. When I first had it at the restaurant I was going to put my regular touch of sweetner and cream . But then my husband said to smell it first. It really is that good. No sugar or cream.....it would ruin it. First coffee and only coffee I drink without the extras. Same for hubby. Its exquisite.

I am enjoying a great cup of coffee today with costa rican beans. You can really taste the beans without the acidity. There's a wide bean selection. I picked up some Ethiopia Yirgacheffe. I was surprised they sell sea salts. Can't wait to try the thai ginger sea salt and sriracha sea salt. Will come back to try out their teas. Their staff was well knowledgeable, super friendly and engaging as I was exploring.

I drive over an hour to get my favorite coffee's from here and love it. I'd give it a 5 star but I have been trying for over a week to call them. When you select 3 to be connected to the store, it says "please wait while we connect you" and then nothing. I call back and hit 2 for internet orders and it does the same thing. I can't drive down there for a question unfortunately and would love to be able to speak to someone before making the drive out there. I've done that before and they didn't have the coffee I needed. Would have been great to be able to check with them via phone before driving there.
