Breakfast tea this morning. Added milk and stevia. This tea is good, but very one note. I think the Ceylon Black from DTL may be better than this one…but the jury is still out…

drinking this again tonight for my dessert! Very coconutty and comforting:)

Second time drinking this tea. I am more impressed this time. The leaves opened up more and thus the flavor is better. Added stevia and milk to round out this mornings breakfast tea. Smooth ceylon that reminds me of an english breakfast tea.

Chocolate hits me as I open the cute little tin, the tea looks soft and inviting as I measure out 1.5 tsp. This is a really nice way to end the day. Caffeine free goodness in my cup. Nice and delicate chocolate taste. Will gladly repurchase when this sample is done.

Had this after lunch today. Smooth black tea with hints of orange. Very refreshing:)

Pg tips made in my 9 ounce teapot. This ratio of water to teabag is perfect. No bitterness or astringency, just good smooth black tea. This new little teapot has really thick walls, the tea stays hot till the last drop:)

Made this stovetop tonight, mixed one heaping tsp of this Chai with one bag of Vanilla Chai, 3/4 cup water, 1/3 cup milk. Delish, the spice is just right.
I have another Chai in my cupboard that I will try mixing in with this 52 Teas blend, will post on that experiment soon:)

Thanks to AmazonV for this tea!
Smooth, asparagus notes. Pale yellow infusion. I think this would be good with a hearty meal.

Thanks to AmazonV I get to try out this tea blend!
Where do I start? Let me count the ways…oops, I am still in "ode to tea’ mode…LOL
This tea got me excited, I love cinnamon in tea. I boiled my water and waited as the tea brewed in my Chatsford. The color of the tea is red like red hots…you did know red hots are in this tea, right!?! Well, they are! I am bracing myself for this first sip, ready to be blown away by the cinnamon fire…The taste is smooth not bitter. I have not dedicted any astringency either..so far so good. The taste is only mildy cinnamon, not the cinnamon fire I was expecting, but it is good tea nevertheless. I added ice to my second cup and viola, there is the cinnamon, not mind jolting, but it is there:)all in all a very nice tea blend.

After my Chai last night, I thought I would try this one out this morning. The taste is very similar to 52 Teas Chocolate Chai…well minus the chocolate (which honestly I did not detect chocolate) one thing is missing though the spice factor. So, next time I am going to use one vanilla chai teabag(emptied) and 1 heaping tsp of CC and see if that helps the spice.
aha, the chai experiment…my inner scientist is jumping like an electron!
