New Mexico Tea Company

Mellow, drinkable. I like this EG cream!
I need to work on my brewing perimeters, but I am glad I went for the full 4 ounce package.
Just a quick note about this company: very fast shipping, all my teas are packed FULL and the shipping was less than $4!

This came as the free sample with my NMTC order.
This is just ok for me. I like the grenadine, vanilla part of this but not the black base. The base is too sharp ? astringent ? bitter ? something unpleasant.
The first cup of this I may have oversteeped it, and it was pretty bitter. Was really careful with the second cup and while it was better it still had some astringency to it. I don’t like finicky tea. It’s too bad because I really did like the flavors.

SIPDOWN! you know what’s fun? mixing up the teas you’re drinking even though they taste nothing alike lol oopsy… so anyway this tea? it’s slightly floral…a little grape like and with a bit of sweetner it’s like the memory of ice wine. Over all not a bad little tea that i’m glad i got the chance to try, though don’t feel the need to purchase :)

NMTea Co sent me this as my free monthly sample with my last order.

I find that many peach teas seem to use the same peach flavoring which leave the tea tasting like Peach-o’s gummy candies. I didn’t care for the candy when I was a child and as an adult I still don’t care for the flavor, especially in my tea. This left me a bit disappointed, but the flavoring did cover up the taste of the rooibos.

CTTB!

This one is really tasty if you like Cardamom..which i do. so ha! It’s also making me really want some tasty chai now hehe. I really like the punch of this tea. there’s a sweetness here that is deliciously wonderful too. It looks like i may need to place an order with new mexico tea company sooner, rather than later since there are a few that have been passed on to me that i have enjoyed!

Here’s Hoping Traveling Tea Box (HHTTB)
For those who don’t know, I’m a recovering addict. It’s been almost 30 years since I had a drink (actually my anniversary is coming up soon).
So I haven’t had a glass of wine in at least that long, & I’ve never had Ontario Ice Wine. In fact, I never even heard of it until I joined Steepster, LOL.

So this is actually pretty nice! Plain it was so so, with a little stevia (& I really mean just a pinch), it is a lovely fruity cup.

Thanks to Awkward Soul for hosting the giveaway on her blog, this is one of the teas I purchased with the $10 gift certificate I won.

The first sip of this tea surprised me, I was expecting it to be a peppermint tea, but it turns out it is spearmint. I’m not really fond of spearmint, but it actually is a really good combination with the chocolate and rooibos. It covers the flavors of the rooibos completely, I just get a hint of it every now and then, so if you don’t care for rooibos normally this might be a good tea to try. I can’t really taste the chocolate, so that was a little bit of a let down, but I did notice that the chocolate chips didn’t completely melt.

Not a bad tea, but not one that is to my tastes, it would have been a huge hit with me as a peppermint tea.

This tea tastes identical to the provence rooibos I have from Enjoying Tea. I really like the blend of fruit, lavender, and rose because not only do those ingredients top the list of my favorite flavors of tea, but they also do a great job of covering up the flavor of the rooibos. While I’ve been trying to drink more of it I find that I don’t particularly care for the taste.

I really like the fact that NMTeaCo has everyday free shipping on tea so they will likely be my new source for this particular blend. They also have great customer service. One of my orders was damaged in shipping and they immediately responded to the problem and sent out a replacement.
