SIPDOWN! Awesome while it lasted. See previous notes…

backlogging and sipdown and super lovely…one of my fave EG’s that has a little extra something!

SIPDOWN #3
FAB!
I really like this and have notes prior to this…check ’em out :)

SIPDOWN #2 for the day…
I’m actually having two to make it an official sipdown :)

This is much better than I remember it and I remember it being just fine and dandy last time…but…there is something I am really connecting with today, here.

Upping rating! For a Black Tea and Rooibos Blend along with other flavors this is really nice. The chocolate still isn’t overpowering but the other flavors are a pure delight! Overall it’s quite amazing!

SIPDOWN!

Very Coffee-like today. A hint of almond. VERY STRONG! See other notes.

Thank you TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this tea.

I like this very much. When I first looked at it, I thought there might have been a mistake … this looks more like rooibos than a black tea. But, interestingly enough, it tastes more like a black tea than a rooibos blend.

These flavors meld very well together – creating a rich, sweet, delicious flavor that is all at once chocolate-y, coconut-y, sweet and creamy. Deliciously decadent!

Last night while brewing my cup of hot tea, I decided to keep on brewing and make a pitcher for the fridge. It’s so refreshing as an iced tea. The flavors are a little lighter, but it tastes so good. I can feel it cool me down as I sip it. Thirst-quenching and yummy!

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

This is really lovely. It’s delicate and delicious. The peach is light, and the hint of mango really is just that … a hint. Overall, the cup is sweet and fruity, but with a nice, light, refreshing taste of white tea in the background.

A very nice “unwind” kind of tea.

This is really very good. I didn’t have high hopes for it, because I have difficulty combining tea and coffee together. I know that it’s good, I’ve had it before, but, I still have some malevolence toward coffee, so that tainted my initial reaction to this tea.

This has a little more tea flavor than coffee – the coffee notes are there though, but I think it is mostly from the chicory rather than the coffee beans. There is some bitterness to this because of the coffee notes, but there is also a very deep, rich flavor that is quite enjoyable. If I were to change something, I’d probably want more almond flavor in this.

Backlogging 2 c ups from the other day…see my other notes :)

Backlogging…

This is REALLY Good! One of the better Magnolia Teas/Oolongs I have had! Very flavorful sweet and floral – semi-smooth, too! Lovely!

Ahhh.. can’t go wrong with this one in the mornings.. I recently (as in 2 days ago) received a tin from two different people (!) for my birthday.. I know. Weird. This is the official drink between coffee and tea for those of you who are interested to know what that would be, and its pretty much fantastic! Anyway, thanks guys, love it!

Pure delight…see my other notes…

Thanks LiberTEAs…backlogging…Steepster has been giving me problems lately…anyhow…

This was MUCH better than I anticipated! The cacao and vanilla in addition to the mate worked well together – nothing was overly intense tho…I really appreciated the roasty/toasty effects too!

over infused…very coffee today…still pretty good…needed something STRONG this morning…this did the trick!

When I first tried this tea, I was pleasantly surprised by its flavor. I only briefly steep this tea for a minute and it is great also as a iced tea.

I gave up coffee for this tea! I enjoy two cups of the smooth mint tea every morning at work and I love the light minty taste of the tea, its so refreshing.

started my day with this one but still have backlogging to do – check my previous notes :)

This is so lovely – not just the Oolong… but the fact that I’m indulging in TWO Oolongs in one day. I love it.

The flavor is floral but not perfume-y. Smooth and subtle. An excellent Oolong.

Thanks to Kristin for sending this one along!

I almost feel like I’m drinking two teas at once. There’s a darker smoky flavour, and then a moment later the sweetness of the rooibos and white chocolate hits you. It is a quite sweet dessert tea, which isn’t actually my usual cup of tea. It tastes more like white chocolate than chocolate teas usually taste like chocolate, which is awesome! Too sweet for before bedtime.

First time tasting this. I actually think I almost forgot that I had it.. ::h o w e v e r:: I am very glad I went with this one today! I’m really into coconut right now, so this was an obvious choice, but the blend of rooibos and black makes it very smooth (and I over steeped it, doh!) Had I used my Breville Tea Maker, that would not have happened, but since this blend does have cacao, I would prefer not to introduce any sugars to the pot. BUT, I still used the Breville to heat my water to 212 deg.. and it was ready in a snap. After I poured the water over the tea to steep, the tea maker kept time for me with its handy “time since brewed” indicator. It would have been less fail had I not walked away.. but whatever. It came out perfectly yummy. I might add that upon opening the canister, you do get a bit of a punch of that cacao scent over everything else, which made me think the flavor would’ve been more pronounced—but it was balanced perfectly. Funny how that works out… I am adding this one to my favorites. Seems like I have quite a few now.. and I am realizing most of them are black.. :D

This is a great tea. I know I know, some of you are going to drink this and think “tastes like black tea. So what.” But there is something wonderful to me about the hints of vanilla and honeysuckle in this smooth smooth black tea that I just love!

I like it with and without milk and I like just a pinch of truvia to enhance the vanilla/caramel flavor. This is my new favorite. I just love to smell it! Yummmmm.
