drank Haute Chocolate by Teavana

A soothing tea right before bed time.

Chocolate and spicy but not toooo spicy – w/a tinge of sugar and little splash of milk , sort of like a dessert. But overall, this tea is more of a chai than a chocolate tea..

drank Paris by Harney & Sons

Very refined- a sophisticated flavor- this tea has a perfect name to mstch its subtle flavor- Paris! Perfect in the late evening- not sure if I would want this as a first cup in the morning…. i

No single flavor predominates- sort of a subtle citrus flavor but not predominately lemon or orangy, subtle vanilla flavor and little bit of bergamot…

Nice clean white tea w/a subtle vanilla flavor. There are rose petals in the blend but the rose flavor is not strong at all…

drank Creme Caramel by Upton Tea Imports

Well the caramel chunks in the tea are certainly not as big as the photo… But this tea is yummy w/a distinct caramel flavor (w/an emphasis on the toasty sugar flavor) and not just a cloying sweetness. I purchased the sample and I will repurchase again…

drank Genmai Cha by Adagio Teas

Like liquid popcorn w/a lot less calories. Great in the afternoon for a light pick me up. It had a very light and clear flavor-it was not strongly vegetal. It is definitely a taste that takes some getting used to…

Have you tried the Finest Russian Caravan(TB70)? I’m interested in how they compare…

Very light rose flavor but not overwhelming…it even had a subtle vanilla flavor. I would definitely recommend this tea

zeitfliesst

Wow, are the rose petals actually that big?

Lori U know- I checked the package and certainly not as big as the photo!!! Perhaps false advertising?? But there are flecks of rose petals…

Maybe broke during transit or handling?

zeitfliesst

That’s possible. Either way this tea looks pretty good.

Lori

LOL!!!

After a great yoga session on a Sundat afternoon, I had my first cup of this tea. Tasted mostly the roses, the chamomile taste is not detectable…just a nice relaxing herbal….

This makes a great flavoring for matcha:) Also great blended w/ chocolate teas.

Lori

I haven’t had any matcha yet- I will need to try it…

drank Thai Chai by Adagio Teas

Just not a big fan of this tea. W/the lemongrass and coconut combination and the milk I added, I swear it tasted like a mild thai curry… so hmmm not sure if that taste should be in a tea…

Lori

In fact, it really wasn’t that spicy…

Just a few months ago the only tea I drank was hot lipton tea at work, an occasional mint tea, and sweet iced tea.. Then my daughter got me some loose leaf teas for Christmas and then, my tea addiction began…..

And what better way to get lots of dessert flavors w/o the calories?

I prefer my tea with a tinge of sugar. Is that cheating? But to me , the combination of sugar and tea is like salt and cooking- both bring out the natural flavors.

My tea drinking has evolved into a set routine: a breakfast blend in the AM, some flavored blacks during the day, late afternoon or evening flavored green/white, herbal (usually spicy, chai inspired) at night.

Not into unflavored greens/whites yet. Just started appreciating unflavored blacks and am thinking that smoky teas may become my favorite…
When I am not drinking tea, I am working as an engineer, reading, watching some of the better TV shows (like Damages and Breaking Bad), practicing my yoga, cooking, gardening, and spoiling my two miniature poodles (Coco and Timmy)…
