A pretty lavender aroma balanced by a tasty blend of teas. I’m admittedly fond of both earl greys and floral teas, so I expected to like this one. Well, I do! I would recommend it to anyone who likes their earl grey without milk, as the sweetness of the lavender rounds out the bergamot. On occasion when I do want a little milk in it, I find it is best complimented by almond milk – something magical happens between the almond and the lavender… Overall this is a happy, comforting tea that I find myself craving in the colder months of the year.

My last bag of this from Jillian. I’ve absolutly loved getting the chance to try it, and really do enjoy it (so long as you expect orange white chocolate, it’s really good).

Sometimes I love driving 2 hours from my parents’ place and coming straight into work. Other times, like today, it just makes me sad and want to go straight home instead of working.

But there’s this little gas station on the way that makes the best sausage biscuits…and they let me fill up my travel mug with hot water at no charge. I had quite a few teas with me, but needed something bagged. This was the one that fit the bill. I quite like it, and it made me very happy this morning. Was a great compliment to a sausage biscuit!!

Jillian sent me a few bags of this tea to try, since I’ve been drooling over her tasting notes about it. Thanks, Jillian!

This smells incredible! The scent is nearly identical to the chocolate oranges that are sold around the holidays. And I daresay I’ll have to pick up one soon…this smell could cause a craving!

The chocolate is not as strong when it comes to taste, though. It’s a very subtle chocolate taste. Orange definitely dominates, and the green tea is rather good. Actually, the taste of this reminds me of a white chocolate orange candy bar that I had when I was in England…the British chap I was semi-dating would bring me random chocolates/candies that he thought I should try. I remember him handing this bar to me and thinking “who puts orange in white chocolate”. Aw, I haven’t thought of that in ages. Wish I knew the name of that candy bar, too.

I won’t say that this is the best orange chocolate tea out there, and if you’re looking for milk chocolate taste, I’d look elsewhere. But if you look at it as a white chocolate orange, the taste is much more accurate. And I quite like it.

1st Steep of the Day.
Revolution tea What can be Said.
Great Tea in Flow through infusers.
I see a 2nd cup in the day’s future.

Premium and Full Leaf? Hardly. The smell of the tea is good, which is why I bought some. The taste as others have said is overly minty which hides the green tea taste and does not feel very tropical. I bought the tea out of convience since it is pre-bagged loose leaf but was sad to see the actual condition of the leaves. They are small pieces not at all what good Dragon’s Well looks like and I saw notable amounts of tea dust, probably accounting for some of the bitterness. In the future I will just pre bag my own good loose leaf tea and skip the “convienience” factor.

Had this to warm up and this cold, rainy day.

Pj’s, mint tea, milano cookies and discovery channel are a great end to a very long day!

This tea is so relaxing and yummy. It is very enjoyable! Also I am surprised by how dark this tea is. It brews to be as dark as a black tea. I wonder why?

This tea screams mint, both in scent and flavor. It tingles like mint, feels like mint and tastes like it too. I am throughly enjoying it because I love mint!!! I think this has spearmint in it which I normally don’t like, but I don’t mind it when it is combined with peppermint like in this tea. Also heres to hoping that Lupicia’s newsletter is correct and mint cools you down because it hit a high of 90 today and is supposed to do the same tomorrow – yay NJ – haha

I enjoyed the spice of this tea. I purchased a sample box of tea to introduce me to some of the teas Revolution Tea offers.
I have placed this tea on my shopping list. I must make space for this tea in my tea cupboard.

This tea is very sweet and thick. I am not really sure why. I feel like it has honey in it, but the ingredients don’t list honey. Regardless I do enjoy it, as I do most chais. It does have a bit of spice too it, but not too much. It pairs well with food. Today I paired it with a Luna Bar.

Backlogging this from Wednesday… Wednesday here was a positively miserable day. It started out 61 and raining and horribly windy (yes 61 in December). Then progressed to sideways rain that soaks you through then dropped to about 40 by mid-day in case being soaked wasn’t bad enough. Needless to say when I got home I needed some tea!!! I made this with my chai honey and milk – I put too much honey in since I don’t really like my tea sweet but it was soothing and warming.

I had this tea this morning. I was in a chai mood. It wasn’t the strongest chai I have ever had, but it was certainly good. It’s yummy and spicy and a good way to start the morning.
