Gyokuro Imperial from Teavana
80

Well, I went into my local Teavana for the last time yesterday. I really wanted a cup of tea so I stopped in while my husband and I were shopping and I wanted to try this tea to go. Well, from the start they were on me about buying it. I passed, to go would be fine.

I’ll save the rest of the story for a blog post later…I’m still steamed over the whole trip and it had nothing to do with me, but another customer. Anyway, this tea is probably one of the few straight teas they still carry. I had it iced and found it to have the usual veggie taste to it that most greens have (I’m growing to like them), but there was also a natural sweetness to this one too which I enjoyed. I would get this tea again from another source in the future.

Oh no! – I’m very curious to hear your story – Although sorry you seemed to have a bad experience (not that it’s unheard of in Teavana). At least the tea tasted okay, a small saving grace haha

I’ll have a blog post up about it in the next few days. But yes the tea was good. So they had that going for them.

Bio

Tea lover, wife, mother to three cats, reader, and writer. I started drinking and enjoying tea (yes, yes it was Lipton, but it got me started) when my grandmother first introduced me to tea with milk and sugar (and peanut butter and jelly on toast) and my love just grew from there.

I was brought to loose leaf through a trip to Teavana, but my taste has expanded along with my love of tea in general. Now to get my husband to drink some too! :)

I’m happy to try samples and review them if you are a tea company. PLEASE NOTE I do not want payment for tasting/reviewing your teas. Just the sample will be fine. :)

If you would like to get in touch with me I can be reached via email at thepurrfectcup@gmail.com, thank you.
