Tea & Bloom

Sipdown! Tank you again tatooed_tea for sharing this tea with us over the 12 days swap. I really love this a lot. I may just need to hit you up for a swap of this in the summer :) cold brewed this is fantastic.

No notes yet.

I LOVE this tea.

As a recommendation from my tea ladies I gave this one a try, it’s a new one.
this is spool amazing. creamy, nutty, caramelly and so beautifully earthy at the end of the sip. This may be my absolute favorite tea ever.
I’ve had it twice since Monday & bought a bag.
I think my favorite part of this tea is the earthiness. it’s quite spectacular.
must try more flavored oolongs.

Azzrian Thanks so much for this one!

I like it hot as well as cold! The Cran/Orange/Spice are 33 and a third ratio-wise…they mesh perfectly well! Tangy, Tart, Citrus, Spice…all of it is NICE :)

Finally had the chance to have this tea from my 12 days of Christmas swap! I have to say this is a mighty fine tisane and i can only imagine how incredible this would be with lemonade. The strawberries are tart and sweet and it’s jsut a really good cup of yum! Come summer i may just be begging you to send me more tatooed_tea so that i can try that! Thank you for this lovely share!

On the 6th day of christmas, tatooed_tea gave to us…a smorgashboard of breakfast themed teas! It’s been a stupidly long day for me so i’m only just now getting to try this one….the 4 others may need to wait. :(

However, this is a really nice blend of spices. I don’t get a lot of cranberry, but that doesn’t make this an unenjoyable tea. It reminds me of a delightful cup of mulled spice cider, without the apple flavour.

Thank you for sharing this tea with us! Especially since the store doesn’t have an online presence. YAY for local tea shops!

Thanks tattooed_tea, for this tea, which I had with lunch (Indian food, couldn’t have breakfast all day long). Certainly one of the better orange spice teas I’ve had. Has a nice zing to it, from the cranberry and maybe hibiscus? As it cools it reminds me more and more of some Celestial Seasonings tea from my childhood, which in turns reminds of the holidays. Very nice!

My first choice from the amazing day today, thanks tattooed!
I chose this one for it’s seasonal notes, how could an orange cranberry not get me in the Christmas spirit? :D

The spices are perfectly balanced and help to mellow the tartness of the cranberry! I would love to make a huge pot of this on Christmas day, it’s too perfect. Thank you!

This is another tea from tattooed_tea for Day 6. (Fruit being another choice for breakfast!)

Mmm! This is one of the nicest cranberry/orange blends I’ve tried. I love the spice! The spices hit the palate right from the start, and then I taste the flavor of orange – sweet and a little bit tangy, and the tart notes of the cranberry. It’s very fragrant and flavorful and the flavors are very forward. They aren’t shy!

The black tea is also strong enough to stand up and be counted among these powerful flavors. It has a richness to it, so it surprised me to read the description and learn that it was a Ceylon. I thought maybe a Nilgiri. It is smooth, earthy, even a touch malty … and finishes with a slight astringency.

A very enjoyable cuppa!

Thanks, Jes for sending this my way! This has a really nice flavor to it :) its sweet and juicy. The lemon is just right, not too tart and not too light. The mango kind of rounds the edge of tartness from the lemon and hibiscus. The flavors blend so nicely. Thanks again!

This is the first time I ever have a tea house made latte. I have had Tea & Bloom’s Vanilla Chai many times, I even own a large tin because it is that good of a chai. I decided to have it as a latte because I have been feeling like crap and I thought maybe it would help.

This has got to be one of, if not THE best thing I have ever drank. It tastes just like pumpkin pie fresh from the over. The frothy milk is so creamy and whipped cream like and all the vanilla and spices lend its self perfect to tastes just like pumpkin pie. Unbelievable delicious.

From Tea & Bloom this has got to be my fav iced tea. I also drink it hot. The lemon & mango mingle beautifully, they are slightly tart & deliciously sweet. The perfect combination.

Another one of the teas that Azzrian sent my way! Thanks so much!

It doesn’t appear to have very much Hibiscus in it – so that’s a start!

I can smell both the lemon and the mango post infusion.

Upon my first sip I found this to be pretty nice. The lemon is not puckery or overly tart or sour. The Mango gives it that very little bit of tropical assist with the lemon. It seems the little bit of hibiscus used in this Herbal offering works well with the other ingredients…perhaps, more-so, the apple to de-pucker the lemon a bit. It’s very soothing and flows nicely from start to finish. I’m drinking this hot but assume it would be just as good if not better iced!

Thanks for this one Azzrian!
This is the very first of Tea & Bloom TEAS I have ever had!

I remember nearly 3 years ago my first encounter with Adagio’s White Tropics. I remember the aroma being really harsh! Makin’ the ole nose-hairs dance type harsh! BUT…the taste wasn’t awful…I think I rated it in the lower 70s or so…but I also remember being in the minority of people who thought it was alright. Oh well!

I will say this is MUCH MUCH BETTER!!!!

It doesn’t have that harsh smell I remember from the Adagio take on it. Thank the Tea gods! It does smell like mellower type of pina colada – I can smell and taste the coconut, rose, and pineapple. It’s relaxing and islandy.

Above all else I can taste the mouth-watering white tea! It’s sweet and airy. Paired with the fruity and floral notes – it’s a neat white tea offering and sure beats the other brand! Nice job!

So much orangey goodness both in the dry notes & the brewed tea. It`s tart & sweet like a real orange and very citrus-ey. I wish the brewed tea was more of an orange than red (which I am sure is due to the hibiscus).

I love the idea of a lightly minty tea followed by the smooth taste of vanilla. This tea has that, almost like a piece of gum. You can taste the Mate, although it’s not as strong as in some other teas. It tastes good, but itsn’t one of my favourites because of the Mate.

This is absolutely my favourite tea. I’m not sure exactly which berry comes out at the front. The berry flavour is certainly there and comes out ahead of the white tea. It’s slightly sweet yet slightly tart from the berries. I find icing this tea completely changes the flavour into something I’m not too fond of.

This was the very first loose leaf chai I had tasted and originally I loved it. Now after trying a few I realize there are better (for me) chais out there. This chai definetly delivers on the spice, oh so much spice, especially ginger (which I am not crazy about). Overall a great chai. I’ve just discovered I prefer my chais with a little something more.

There isn’t much of a licorice taste to this tea, but somehow everything still works together to create a delicious blend. A slightly sweet taste add to the spices in this tea. Similar to a chai, but without the caffeine in black tea. The rooibos isn’t very noticeable which is great for me (not a big fan of rooibos).

One of my favourite black teas. A delicious blend or orange & spices, to create the perfect winter drink. Although not certain I taste the cranberry, you do get the light flavour of oranges & a great dose of spices.

Probably the best fruit infusion/tisane I have had from anywhere. You get the nice tart strawberry taste of a not quite ripe strawberry, followed by the deliciously sweet taste or a ripe strawberry. So much YUM!

Can’t wait to try this mixed with lemonade
