A little maltier than I’m used to in an English Breakfast, but I like that for a chilly, rainy morning like this one. Probably not going to replace my usual Twinings morning cup, but very good.
Light-bodied green with pineapple and some other fruity notes I couldn’t quite place. A little too much pineapple for my taste.
Honeybush with mandarin orange and citrus.
A little hard to describe, but I enjoyed it. Very relaxing.
Not bad, but I definitely prefer the Twinings Irish Breakfast.
I liked this one a lot because it wasn’t a pure herbal (too much blueberry for me), but a mixture of blueberries and black tea. Just enough flavour without being overwhelming.
I got a Valentine’s Day gift certificate to one of my favourite shops and bought a whole bunch of new teas. John (shop guy) keeps a big box of sample bags on the counter for fifty cents apiece.
Restocked on English Breakfast and Earl Grey as well. Really, how can you not have those at hand?
3 new teas have been tried recently, bringing my total up to 21 teas tried. Christmas tea, passionflower and papaya tea, and coconut tea. Christmas tea is probably my favourite of the bunch, being rather like a Spiced Chai, only a bit fruitier. Passionflower and papaya is sweet and rich, and Coconut tea has a bit of an unusual flavour, but is still good. I’m a fan of coconut drinks in general, and this one doesn’t disappoint.
I brought this in Camden Market, London off a little tea stall. The lady was lovely and the tea she recommended to me is great – www.yumchaa.com is her website (it should be up very soon). I also brought a clear tea infuser, which is really great to use, although not so easy to get the tea leaves out when you’re done!
Blue Star Earl Grey is like a more lemony version of earl grey. The scent is really something – my partner who doesn’t drink tea even commented on how nice it was. The tea itself is rich and satisfying. I’m glad I have a big bag of this to enjoy. :)
This tea came in a little wooden box with only enough tea for about 2 pots. It certainly looked nice and sitting with a cup of it now is a lovely autumn warmer. It’s a bit difficult to describe though. Strong, but not too strong, I guess. Definitely a thumbs up.
