Praise Tea Company

A traditional green tea. The leaves are a nice bold green, giving a beautiful green tint to the tea. The flavor is simple and clean. A must try.

Oh my. In all fairness I can’t bring myself to say who sent this to me. They are too kind in every way and the other tea’s were fine.

This one, is haunted with the taste of raspberry beets. Not good and sweet beets but canned vegetable soup tasting beets.

I must protest…my tastebuds yelled at me. One cursed.

Dear, oh dear.

This tea is fired!

Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this tea.

This is a delicious green tea. I do not see it on the Praise Tea Website anymore though … I wonder if they’ve just sold out or if they’ve discontinued it?

It’s vegetative (sweet grass taste) with a smooth buttery taste at mid sip. A moderate astringency (slightly dry, not pucker-y) toward the tail. Very enjoyable, it is very soothing and relaxing to sip. I taste warm, nutty tones, and a lovely fresh sweetness. A wonderful cup.

Hmm, not really a fan of Chinese sencha. The flavoring is quite nice though. Blueberry and a bit of lemon. Feels a bit bubbly somehow. :) Hot tea on a cloudy chilly autumn morning. Could anything be more comforting?

Thanks for the sample TeaEqualsBliss!

Thank you Dhart1214 for the big tea sample!

We all love Dragon Pearls (well most of us do)!

Even the few who don’t prefer black tea have to admit they’re pretty to look at.
All chocolate colored with golden strands rolled shape of a malted Whopper. (I popped one in my mouth once just to taste the malty leaves)

I’ve collected interesting shaped tea’s for when my young grandchildren come to visit. I have pillows of green tea, cigar shapes and pagoda’s. Tea’s with berries that plump up. AND, this
type of tea with their round shape which looks best in it’s jar like candy and scoop some into a glass pot for brewing.

Everyone loves a cocoa malty tea with some sugar and cream. It may as well be hot chocolate, but it’s better (and easier) to make.
Another infusion and there’s more in a hurry.

I had this tea by myself this morning.
The most cocoa of the Pearls I’ve tried has been Teavivre, but my local shop here in Fort Collins is so close to that standard that I’ll probably buy from them.
The Praise Tea Company Black Pearls are a extremely light cocoa.
I liked the maltiness and smooth richness of this tea, however. There was a baked bread comforting warmth to it.

Sometimes it’s hard to separate malt from cocoa so I carefully made a whole pot of tea, drinking it plain, then sweetening it, then adding cream and then going back to plain again.
I looked for the cocoa and just didn’t hardly, barely find it. (There was a potato chip aftertaste that I noticed after awhile)

I like this tea though. I am a fan of malty, homemade bread goodness in the morning. It’s all yummy to me.

Yes, quite a strong lemon flavor. Too strong. Like chemicals. Like pine and lemon cleaning product. Perhaps I cold brewed too long? It was not pleasant. My husband refuses to waste the pitcher and plans to drink the rest with copious amounts of sugar. fortunately I have I good supply of other tasty lemony greens.

Sorry this was wasted on me TeaEqualsBliss. :(

This is the tea that led me to Praise tea in the first place. I like their Chocolate Pu erh better though!
*also it called Chocolate Whiskey Cream now ( if you are looking for it)

There is nothing wrong with this tea but I have recently learned I do NOT like hibiscus and rose hips!
But if you do like hibiscus this is probably a lovely tea :)

I was disappointed with this tea as far as the “caramel” ( or I should probably say lack
of caramel ) was concerned. The tea was nice but did not live up to the name of Caramel Delight.
I continue my search for an awesome Caramel tea :)
I do like this company though and have a couple of favorites that I already reordered!

I just made a cup of this and I am surprised I like it as much as I do! It smells super spicy in the package and it is a pretty spicy cup of tea. However I can’t distinguish any specific chocolate flavor whatsoever.So if anyone is looking for chocolate goodness not sure this would be the best pick. But it is a nice chai and I think it will be tasty in the winter.

I think this came as a bonus in my swap with TheDJBooth, so thank you for letting me try it!

I’ve read that rooibos is good for coughs and chest troubles so I was curious to try this one, given the way I’m feeling tonight and I’m low on other rooibos blends besides. I steeped this for 5 minutes at 212F. When I first smelled the leaf steeping it was like cough syrup for sure. But then after I let it sit for a while and cool off, it isn’t too bad. I usually add soymilk to my rooibos blends which helps me like them a bit more. I really don’t think this tastes anything like cabernet, it has the familiar smell of wet socks or something but the flavor isn’t terrible. Mildly grape with flowers. Sorry I’m kinda picky about my rooibos blends but I always appreciate a free gift. :)

Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this very unique tea!

At first, I thought that there was some kind of mistake when I opened the package – there’s a mini tuocha in there! The tuocha adds a little earthiness to the cup, but what I like is how the other teas work together to soften the earthiness of it, making for a very smooth and palatable cup. Sweet and remarkably well balanced given the number of teas that are in this blend! The strawberry and pineapple are more of an accent to the primary flavors of the teas, and I like that!

Really very nice!

Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me this tea. It’s really quite nice. I was a bit skeptical at first, as I thought Chun Mee would be a bit too strong a tea for a delicate flavor like pear, but, it works together quite nicely. The pear is more of an accent rather than a strong note, the Chun Mee tastes grassy (even a bit like seaweed, but, I am still finding it to be an enjoyable flavor despite the fact that I generally do not enjoy seaweed) and it possesses hints of plum that complement the pear notes.

This is delicious!

So Shawndra from Praise Tea stopped by the station today to talk to one of our sales reps. It was wonderful to meet her and she brought this iced. Wow! is this good. So of course as I have been finding the hibiscus hits my palette first because well that’s what hibiscus seems to do to me. Then the creamy peach come through. It has a nice balance of the tang from the hibiscus and the peach. After tasting this I felt like I just had a cup of Koolaid without the sugar though. The peach is so good in this one it’s almost like flavor from lipton peach ice tea, minus the artificial peach flavor. I would almost compare this to like a good non-alcoholic peach wine. I’m definitely going to have to look more into offerings from Praise.

This is really good. A very unique approach to the usual tropical tea.

There is a lot going on! The pineapple is the strongest note, but because of so many other ingredients, it doesn’t overwhelm the cup. I can taste each note and they are very harmonious and create an almost seamless kind of taste. I love the genmaicha in this, it adds just a hint of toasted flavor that accents the flavor of the cardamom very well. The coconut is very delicate here, the mango and papaya give a nice sweetness to the cup. The bamboo is not a strong flavor, but it is just enough in there to get your taste buds to sit up and say “hey, what was that?”

A very unusual blend – I like it a lot.

Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me a bit of this tea.

Hmm. Chocolate-y. The other tasting notes mention a subtle chocolate note … but I am getting a strong dark cocoa taste from this. Perhaps because I steeped it for 10 minutes in my Libre Mug (and it continues to steep as I sit here and sip on it?) I don’t know. Perhaps because I had a very tart apple juice just a while ago and it has made my taste buds more tuned in to particular flavors? I don’t know. All I do know is that my first sip reminded me quite a bit of pure bittersweet cocoa with notes of spice. I don’t taste rooibos at all (and I personally think that’s a good thing).

Anyway… I’m liking what I’m tasting at this point. If the flavor changes as I continue to sip, I’ll be sure to note it in the comments.

Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss For sending me some of this tea.

I couldn’t find this tea on the Praise Tea website … I guess it’s sold out? Anyway, this is really quite tasty. There is a lot going on – a lot of different fruit flavors, but, they do not completely overwhelm the flavor of the tea. The blend of white and green tea is slightly grassy, smooth, and sweet. The fruit flavors are also sweet. Not particularly tart, which is a big plus in my book.

Nice served hot, but even better iced.

Backlog from yesterday afternoon…..

This one is really pretty good. It has almond flavor with a note of vanilla. Very relaxing and great on a chilly day. I am sorry I waited so long to try this one. It was part of my HoppiTEA swap from Dinosara! Thank you, Dinosara!

24 oz pot, 4 1/2 actual tsp tea, freshly boiled water, 3 minutes. Lightly sweetened.

Thanks to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this tea.

This is a tasty tea… but it took a while for the caramel to really develop. My first couple of sips, I could really taste very little caramel, it was more like burnt sugar notes with tea, so I added a drizzle of agave nectar and this helped bring out the caramel tones a bit more. By mid-cup, I could taste the caramel, although it would be nice if the caramel were a bit stronger… but then, maybe I’m a bit spoiled because of my own caramel blend.

Tasty, and I enjoyed it.

I’m tasting this tea thanks to TeaEqualsBliss – this is really delicious!

The black tea is brisk and flavorful but in a non-aggressive way. The goji berries – once a fruit I feared – is tart and tangy, as is the pomegranate. But, there is sweetness to this too, as well as a hint of bright citrus taste. It is more tart than sweet, but there is just enough sweetness in this to keep it from being too tart.

I am drinking my first cup of this hot, just to help me wake up, and then I think I’ll ice the rest. :)

Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this tea. It’s awesome!

The flavors are strong but do not overwhelm the flavor of the tea. I took my first few sips of this hot, and then decided it needed to be iced, so into the refrigerator it goes!

I’ve been ‘sitting’ on this one for a while…not literally! LOL
Thanks LiberTEAs!

I was holding off because of the chamomile, I suppose…but…I ended up really liking this one! I like it a bit better luke-warm or cool or even cold than hot…I think. I can taste the apple and mango in harmony with the chamomile and it’s nice! I like the subtle fruit with the herbal/flower…and I am beginning to appreciate the apple/chamomile a bit more…my last few have been nice including this combo of flavors! I like the change-up with the mango, specifically, in this one!

Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this tea to try!

This is delicious and light. Delicate yet crisp apple flavor with a smooth, fresh white tea flavor. Nice. I like this one a lot.

This blend also contains either beetroot or hibiscus (the ingredients list only apple and white tea), although I can’t really figure out which one because if it’s hibiscus, it doesn’t taste hibiscus-y. And that’s a good thing. It does have a rather sweet tone to it, so perhaps it is beetroot.

Either way, it’s quite good.

A smooth blend. Has a nice, more vegetal than sweet taste. A great morning drink to get started or afternoon pick me up.
