Sweet Desert Delight (aka Desert Blend) from Zhi Tea

LiberTEAS drank Sweet Desert Delight (aka Desert Blend) by Zhi Tea

My tin says “Desert Blend” but the ingredients are identical, so I am fairly certain (99.9%) that Desert Blend and Sweet Desert Delight are one in the same.

This is a sweet and tasty blend. I guess if I had one complaint, it would be that there is stevia in this, and I often find the aftertaste with stevia to be unpleasant. That being said, the stevia aftertaste is not too bad here (noticeable, but not a strong aftertaste). The funky aftertaste in the rooibos is not noticeable either. Mostly what I taste is coconut and deep chocolate-y tones, with a kiss of cinnamon and a hint of licorice-y taste from the anise.

Enjoyable.

I am obsessed with tea!

I am a co-founder of the SororiTEA Sisters:
http://sororiteasisters.com

I also review teas for the Tea Review Blog:
http://www.teareviewblog.com

In addition to my passion for tea, I am also a mixed media/altered arts artist. You can see some of my art here: http://eccentricpastiche.blogspot.com

I am also a self-proclaimed foodie. I review local restaurants and the food I buy online here: http://hungryinportland.wordpress.com

My favorite teas are Yellow Teas with most Oolong teas at a close second. As far as “flavored” teas go, I love Earl Grey, Chocolate and Jasmine teas.

I also am intrigued by flavored teas with an unusual or unique flavor combination.

I don’t do a whole lot of swaps anymore, however, I do occasionally sell sampler boxes here: http://liberteas.teatra.de/ I don’t always have sampler boxes available as it depends upon how much time I have as well as packaging supplies. I usually post at least one or two sampler boxes per month, though, so if you’re interested, keep an eye out or PM me and I’ll let you know when I have some posted.

Most of the teas that I record in my notes here are going to have a fairly high rating from me. This is not because I am not discerning, but because I do not usually waste my time on drinking tea I do not care for, nor will I waste my time on writing about it.
