Teavana

Yummy cinnamon spice flavors with the strong kick of mate. Good alternative to coffee when I need an extra jolt.

SoccerMom sent me some of this and I remember having it a while back and enjoyed it more than most Pu-erh’s…so thank you very much SoccerMom!!! :P

The aroma of this one is really what makes it for me! Woot!

My last cup of this. Still smells nice! :)

I still think this smells great prior to steeping. Just like Strawberries and Cream Candy. During Steeping you can add a “wood” smell to that mix. A bit sweet but I still enjoy it. Nice cup!

Wonderful Aroma! Nice taste. Dark Color. Comforting going down.

I’m finishing the last of my stash with this cup…it will be missed but I don’t think I will reorder…looking forward to trying new ones!

Resteeping and resteeping well. You can smell the keylime more on resteep

Triple ‘shot’ and steeped longer just for kicks. It was tasty – surely you can smell the Mango and Papaya much more but the taste was not over the top fruity herbal like some can be maybe because the Rooibos helped cut it. Either way…I like it.

Another cup – I see I have quite a bit left…don’t really know why…I like it.

Today I can smell the Lime in this one…slightly. Nice but not overpowering tangy-ness to it.

Before steeping you can REALLY smell the Papaya, Mango, and Peaches! Delightful smell! After steeping you can only really smell the peaches…still a pleasant scent. It seems to be fairly thirst quenching. A nice soft tea. I’m thinking a rice dish would go good with this…maybe I will even try cooking with it!

Somehow, Derek (my boyfriend) managed to get a great second infusion out of this one. All of my attempts have turned out way too strong!

195F, 2-3 min (somewhere thereabouts). Very light and soft. Made a nice sized pot for two. :)

Soft, subtle and fragrant. This tea is great for relaxing with, and is smooth and calming.

Not your average black tea. The pearls were gorgeous to watch as they unfurled, and the taste is crisp and warm, with a spicy undertone.

Simply Sweet and Delicate. (Peaceful)

Revisited this one this evening. Still not as tart as I thought it would be but that’s a good thing :) Smells great and tastes smooth, refreshing, and fruity but not overly or tart. I like this Fruit-Based Rooibos Blend!

VERY GOOD cold as well!!!!

I almost forgot about this one! It surprised me yet again…nice scent after steeping and yummy taste. Delightful!

steeped more of the tea but for less time…still a great cup! I enjoy it very much!

Not as tart as I thought it would be…which is a good thing. Fruity and fun. A good mix. Blissful scent.

backlogging…

I’m officially out of this tea after this cup. I oversteeped the only different I taste with the oversteep is hardcore green tea taste VS the strawberry, pineapple, and other flavors, etc. Still not bad but you can’t taste the other flavors.
