Spiced grownup hot cocoa tea :) I taste the cardamom strongly, then a bit of cinnamon, all enveloped in cocoa with a medium bodied black tea. I kinda want to drink it every single day until Spring!!!! Delicious!!!

I was in the mood for something full bodied and a little smoky, and this fit the bill. I’m getting less wine this time, but it’s still there and very nice. I wonder if preparing it with filtered water is making the difference? I have one serving left – this will certainly be reordered!

In honor of our Desert Island discussion, I’m drinking my pick :) Soooo delicious. I finally got a Brita Water filter/pitcher and made tea for the first time with filtered water – BIG difference! I can taste so many more of the delicate flavors. The coconut tastes so fresh that I want to chew on it!!!

Hiking + tea + River in the name = good idea!:)

As usual, perfection! I just love this tea. I really tasted the honey notes this evening.

A nicely robust tea paired with creamy sweet vanilla. The vanilla is of a good quality, and I was delighted to see bits of the pod amongst the tea leaves. Extra cake like with milk and sugar :) A gorgeous treat on a chilly, rainy afternoon.

So satisfying! A little smoky, very flavorful. Almost reminds me of wine! Certainly picks you up.

Deeeeeelicious with milk and sugar. Bold but so smooth. In fact, I can’t wait to have another cup!

Yummy! Very well balanced and elegant – all spice flavors and tea harmonize. I thought it might be “too much” and compete with holiday cookies, but it enhanced rather than took away from the treats. I’d like to start a tradition and always have this in my cupboard Thanksgiving through the New Year! I only have enough for one more pot – and I guess that’s how it should be until next November :)

Bio

I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and attend a large public university doing post-bac work (my BA is in English). I’m interested in the liminal spaces between art and craft, the academic and the practical, the individual and community, and the old and the new. I’m currently exploring these ideas through the disciplines of education, literature, history, and psychology.

I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.

My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes
