Comfort and Joy from The Republic of Tea

Meghann M drank Comfort and Joy by The Republic of Tea

Received a sample in this in a package from AmazonV today.

Steeped 2 bags in boiling water for about 6 minutes (MIL called while steeping and couldn’t get back to the tea).

Tried first few sips with out additives, tasted pretty watery with a slight note of spice and a bit of citrus tang at the end. I added a splash of cold cream which gave the tea more body and spice upfront, after notes of citrus. (Maybe the apple is the tarty citrus?) Not sure where it is from the ingredients, but definitely there.

This tea is alright, but I like something with more oomph.

I think you and I are the only 2 that got citrus from this! I thought it was good for a black bagged tea, neither of which I normally like.

i thought it might be orange? not sure where it’s coming from…..

It reminded me of an Orange Spice tea weaker on the orange then the spice. It’s definitely there…maybe they left out an ingredient?

Definitely orange. I don’t think it’s the apple as you were questioning.

perhaps it’s hiding in the “natural flavors”

Bio

Live in the cornfields of IL, but not too far from the city. Expecting a baby any day now (due Oct 24 2011). Sticking to mainly herbal and low caffeine teas for now. Trying to encourage my husbands tea drinking, but he adds so much sweetner he may as well just drink diet pop. I love trying new teas, and will try any tea once.
