Culinary Teas

The husband and I could barely taste anything but plain black tea. We aren’t going to purchase it again. It was rather boring.

An hour of chipping away at the ice barely put a dent in it, but we were able to bumble and bounce out for a lunch break. This is dessert before going back outside in the (now slushy) tundra.

Enjoying the last of the packet that came from Azzrian; it’s still more floral-tasting to me than when I had a pouch of my own some years back. Wonder if they changed their formulation or my preferences have shifted some.

Recommendations for a decent grapey tea that tastes really grapey?

Okay, say it with me: My name is…and I’m a Steep-a-holic…

Good to be back, eh?

My tealog says I haven’t had a cup of this since 2009; Azzrian kindly provided a little sip down memory lane this weekend. Still good and grapey, but a little more floral than I remember it the first time. If you’re looking for a reasonable balance between good black tea and in-your-face fruity, this is a viable selection.

Last of the packet. Sigh. Goodbye, friend—-I will miss your grapeyness.

I love fruity teas that are not sharp or tart; this one fits quite nicely. I like the grapey flavor.

Love, love, love this one!

Love this in the fall.

Do NOT use the recommended teaspoon of mix per cup – much too strong. I use less than a teaspoon per pot.

Surprisingly, I liked this a lot!

My favorite summer tea.

I’m not sure if this is the “Blue Lady” from the market in Cambridge (ye olde, not Mass) but if it is then it’s my top choise for waking up to. Black tea with a grapefruit punch and pretty cornflower petals in. Needless to say as I’m English I have it with milk.

Sort of a run of the mill black, I’ve never been super impressed by Yunnan blacks. Pu-erhs, now that’s another story.

Not a big fan of this.

Light, floral,makes me feel happy
