Gal In The Grey Hat

Major citrus aroma coming through as it steeps. The taste is simply WOW. The blood orange is really coming through as is the white tangerine….soooo good (I may be drooling). Honestly I can’t really taste the lemongrass which is shocking since it had such a strong smell prior to the infusion. I’m usually not a fan of citrus teas, but this I like and that is saying something.

This tea was delish! I brewed a cup early this morning (like 1am early). The sweetness of the tea comes out not only as you steep but right down to the last sip. This was super yummy and I might need to get more asap (only purchased a sample size this time!!

Well, I was going to start getting myself together for the day…but then I noticed my Adagio tea order had arrived! Well, I had to try this right away. I love the aroma of the mint as this tea steeps. As others have mentioned there is just that super subtle scent of chocolate…yum! The taste is just wow. Love how the mint flavors stay on my tongue as I’m drinking. So great!

Brewing a cup of this to get my day started. The aroma is amazing….I can smell all the berry flavors of the Sweet Fruit Garden with just a hint of the peaches and mint from the Scarlet Cloud. The taste is likewise amazing an even blend of tart and sweet! Just the right balance to wake me up, but still let me feel a bit mellow.

I can really taste the sweet in this tea. So much so that I only feel the need to add the slightest bit of sugar. Has a lovely smell while steeping and it is just what I need today (I forgot everything ie lunch and breakfast snack).

This tea is a pretty good substitute for my usual morning cup of coffee. I really like the nutty/chocolate smells that come out of this tea as it steeps. Best part is that carries over into the flavor and adds in just enough spice to give that extra little kick to get my day started. (I also add in two sugar cubes to sweeten to my liking.)

Just dropped a bag of this in my cup for an afternoon chill out. It has been one of those days and I need something soothing or else someone might loose an arm. ANYWAY…to me this tea has a nice smooth flavor and a even mix of rooibos and vanilla flavors. Now if only I had some steamed soy milk to mix in here….yum! But alas simply the tea with a few sugar cane crystals.

Drinking this again this morning….hoping the peppermint can help me jump start my day. It’s very strong so I tend to add in some Silver Needle (also a Teavana tea) and 2 or 3 sugar cubes. This morning it’s all about the peppermint, with a cube of sugar….yeah it’s going to be one of those days!

Pretty good pick me up in the morning. I find the minty flavor helps settle my stomach when a migraine is looming. Be sure to add in some sugar or Teavana’s Silver Needle (1/2 a teaspoon) to cut the tea as it can sometimes be rather strong.

There is a beautiful mix of the vanilla and rooibos as the tea steeps. Added to the tea I use a small amount of German rock cane. The flavor is light on the vanilla and very heavy on the rooibos (will have to add more Honeybush Vanilla next time). I’m not unsatisfied with this blend…it’s really tasty.

(Didn’t mean to turn the description into a tasting note.)

This is (for me) the perfect substitute for a morning cup of coffee. The aroma is great at it steeps. I love the mix of flavors too. Just the right touch of chocolate and nuts. I like to make mine with a cube of regular sugar and a teaspoon of German Rock sugar…..perfection on a Monday morning. (Plus I gave up coffee for lent SO I need some pep in my step!)

The perfect tea ( at least I think) when I wake with a four alarm migraine. See my previous note on this tea for more.

Running late this morning…this is all I could grab when I got to work. Once I get to my office on campus I’ll be enjoying something else. I can’t complain because Lipton tea did introduce me to tea drinking. So that’s one plus in favor of it…after that it’s all down hill from there.

Pretty tasty…get me moving in the morning.

I find this tea to have a bit of a tart taste to it. So I prefer it in the afternoon when I feel I’m starting to slip away at work. I like to add one sugar cube to sweeten it just a little.

Pretty tasty! I wasn’t sure about this tea when I bought it last night. But it does have a little kick to it to get my morning off and running. I like the blend of spice too…really smooth.

I suggest adding sweetener to it or else you get a VERY tart flavor as I found out. I tried it iced last night and it was delish save for the tart taste which I set aside because they forgot my sweetener. Trying it hot tonight after this hellish day ends. Will keep you posted!

This is the perfect work tea….you know when the stress tries to get to you? Make a nice cup and tune the rest of your coworkers out!

I finally broke down and bought this tea a few weeks back. I sometimes have trouble getting to sleep. So I figured this would be better than taking my usual aleve or advilpm. Turns out I was right….made me very relaxed and sleepy about a half hour after drinking it. Might be all in my head, but whatever!

The tea has a nice flavor and I only needed to add a small amount of Teavana’s german rock sugar to get it to the taste I like. I think its worth a shot if your looking for a nice night time tea.

I have this tea in k-cups. I don’t drink it often, unless I’ve had “one of those days”. It really helps me relax right when I get home from work. Perfect end to a not so perfect day.

This tea works in a pinch when I’m out of my other night time teas.

I have this in the k-cup version. I really enjoy it at night before bed. Really soothing after a long day.

This tea is pretty bland unless you add 4-5 sugar cubes to it. Unless of course you like it on the bland side. After the sugar is added it isn’t bad and perfect for those warm summer afternoons.

I love this tea blended with Teavana’s Rooibus Peach! Of course they don’t make the Green Tea Heaven anymore…so I am using as little as I can get away with so I can stretch out as many cups as possible! Great hot or cold.
