Cuppa'T Specialty Teas

This is a good walnut tea. A little tad bitter but that is the way walnuts are supposed to taste.
Adding a smidgen of milk makes it a nice treat but I usually like my teas “naked”.
I don’t really taste the cloves or orange, but I do taste the cinnamon and it is a nice compliment.

This time, I diluted this tea with a little bit of silver needles and it was better. It was a little too strong un-diluted.
This is ok, but I wouldn’t re-stock.

This was a fairly sweet flowery tea. Maybe a little bit too flowery. The pomegranate was buried beneath all the flowers.
Next time I will have to mix with a straight white so the flower isn’t quite as strong.

This is ok as a latte, but plain, I think that the rose maybe overpowers it a little. It is a little artificial tasting as well.
I probably won’t restock this.

This was a good, slightly sweet and slightly spicy rooibos.
This was really good tonight on a really cold night, really warms you up inside!

This tea is comforting, smooth, slightyly floral? maybe but mostly a nutty flavour.
Very light tasting.
2nd steeping was almost too light of a flavour, the taste was too weak I think.

Sipdown. I have been drinking a lot of tea cold brewed lately as the weather warms up. I enjoyed this as usual!

This isn’t as good as I remember :(. Maybe my tastes have changed so much that I prefer natural tasting and ingredients in tea.

This is ok. It tastes like Tim Hortons peach juice just as Roswell Strange mentioned. I do get some apple notes as well. The rosehips are not overpowering and th chamomile is in the background.

Overall, quite thirst quenching!

I also cold brewed this overnight 1.5teaspoons.
This was sweet and refreshing.
I added a little sugar at the end, but I don’t think that it needed it.
This will make a nice spring/summer treat

I finished this one off with a cold brew. This is very refreshing, I didn’t add any sweetener and I didn’t find that it needed it. The slight tartness is what makes it so refreshing I think.
I might have to stock up on this for the summer!

This is slightly sweet, slightly tart.
I cold brewed this overnight using 1.5teaspoon
I added a little sugar at the end, and liked it a little better but I prefer to not have to add anything to my teas.
Certainly a yummy fruit taste.

I cold brewed this tea last night to see if I liked it better this way. What a difference!
It is so much better now. Sweet and yummy enough to not need extra sugar.
I will certainly only make it this way now.
There is still a little bit of a strange aftertaste, but it is tolerable now.
Upping the rating significantly

This was sweet and fruity enough, tasted vaguely of pear but it had a very strange aftertaste following each sip.
I think I would like it, but I can’t get around that weird taste.
2nd steep: much the same, that weird taste didn’t go away

This tastes like dark chocolate. Not too sweet but still very yummy.
It gave me quite the energy boost as well.
I will definitely buy this again.
It tastes a little similar to DT’s chocolate rocket.

I really enjoyed this one. It wasn’t sickly sweet but curbed my sweet tooth when craving something like a dessert. I couldn’t refill my tin as they were out of stock :(

Ah, this is a sweet afternoon/evening treat. It is smooth and tasty without being sickly sweet. After I learned to brew rooibos at a lower temp (thanks Anne from 52teas!), I enjoy rooibos more. It isn’t as woodsy when brewed this way.

It seems like the covonut is a little prominent in this batch than the last. I don’t mind because it is even more delicious this way!

I needed a chocolate fix today, but it needed to be low calorie. And I was craving this tea because I haven’t even had it again since I restocked. This fit the bill for sure today!! Sweet and chocolatey with that little hint of coconut.

SIPDOWN!
I am having my last cuppa of this gem of a tea. Smooth chocolate, coconut dessert in a cup. A great way to end the day.

I haven’t had this tea in forever. And it is getting old. It still tastes good though. With a splash of milk, this is creamy and smooth, sweet chocolate and coconut. Just what I needed tonight.

This is good chocolate, coconut.
This is sweet and smooth, a good dessert tea, and satisfying.

2nd steep: 10 min, milder in taste but possibly even better tasting!

Tea bath!
I needed this steamy bath today to try to get rid of my cold. It felt SO good!
Epsom salts, tea, baking soda, and lavender essential oil.
Since I am not a fan of lavender teas to drink, I might as well use it in a bath instead. My skin feels so soft and refreshed!

I had an idea to turn this tea into a bath tea and it turned out marvellous! I am not a fan of lavender in tea, but in a bath, it is so relaxing. So I put Epsom salts, tea, a tiny bit of lavender essential oil, and some baking soda as a skin softener.
Ah, now that’s one glorious bath!

I diluted this with a little bit of Teavivre’s White Peony so it wasn’t so strong. This was MUCH better! The lavender was way too strong before. It is still very floral but not quite so overpowering.
I am not increasing the rating but it is more bearable to drink.
I might try putting this in my bath water. Lavender is so soothing.

It was sweet enough, but there is too much lavender for me. I think I have discovered that lavender is not a flavour I really enjoy in tea.
It is ok, but I probably won’t re-buy this.
