This isn’t as flavorful as I was expecting. It could be that my nose is getting a tad stuffy though. It also isn’t a bad thing, it’s not “in your face” like several of the herbals that I have (and love). The word light comes to mind while describing this taste. I am terrible at discerning separate tastes when I try a tea. All I can really tell is fruit, probably some apple. I could see keeping this one around. It is perfect for relaxing a bit and digging in for the night to read some pharmacy guidelines.

This morning started off with a chilly walk with the dog. He was not interested in the least bit. Hopefully his winter coat arrives soon! Immediately after the walk, the boyfriend started his coffee and I put the tea kettle on. I pulled out my samples and oldest teas and put them in a “drink these first” box. This tea however, is not one of my oldest so it is not in the box I am supposed to drink first.

I love this tea. It has a great flavor, almost reminding me of the blueberries I would eat when I was supposed to be out picking some for the pancakes we were having at grampas. It fills me up with warmth every time I make it.

Woke up with a migraine this morning. Adjusting back to Missouri time is proving a bit difficult. Thankfully, I don’t work until 1p today. That means caffeinated tea and cuddling with the pooch. This is currently my favorite black tea, even if it is in tea bags.

It’s a bit too cold in Missouri for picnics but I am going through my caffeinated tea basket this afternoon and am quickly realizing that I have, in comparison to my over flowing herbal basket, next to no caffeinated options. I will have to make an effort to remedy this the next time I order.

I made a point to grab some of the dried berries as I was placing this leaf in my tea ball. This has a gentle, beautiful, flavor.

Starting the morning off with this one. Wanted to start with a black tea for the caffeine. I just love the smell of this one!

Peppermint, chocolate, a book, and my dog at my feet. I couldn’t ask for much more!

My oldest tea, I should have just enough for one more cuppa after this sitting. This is a very light, lightly caffeinated, choice for this evening. The boyfriend states that he is keeping me up as late as possible in the hopes of making my adjustment to another time zone (+7 hours from here), starting Monday for four weeks, a bit easier. I added a tiny bit of Truvia to encourage the light guava flavor. I do find this cup a welcome relaxation after several busy days preparing for travel. I do have to say that I am not terribly sad to see this one leaving my cupboard soon. It’s been a long time since I’ve had it and I can’t see restocking it as I am finding many other things that deserve a space in my stash.

Had this one with friends when we went to a new tea room in the area for lunch. I liked this one so much that I had to buy some. It reminded me of a tea that I had at an Arabic restaurant. This tea definitely tastes like rose water.
