Tea Time Garden

This is my very favorite tea. It’s the soul food of tea for me. Such a delicate flavor and soothing aroma.

A light, delicious, floral and fruit blend, lovely to start the morning with. The black tea base is high-quality — smooth, seldom bitter.

Oh… my … stars. This is so good it’s almost sinful. Add a little sweetener, and milk if you like, and you’ve got hot chocolate without the calories. I’ve cheered up depressed colleagues with a cup of this. The chocolate scent and flavor are authentic, and the tea itself is smooth and lovely. I’ve never had a bitter cup, even if I let it brew a little too long.

Whenever I order from Tea Time Garden, this one is always in my order. It’s simply lovely — rose-scented with a hint of vanilla. Smooth, too, never a bitter cup. The packets are smaller than for the other teas from this independent blender, but they’re also priced accordingly.

Maybe the batch I had was too old – the smell of blackberry was mostly gone. The brew smelled & tasted like fermented grass clippings. Dumped the lot. And there must have been an unmentioned herb in the mix that I’m allergic to, just a sip & mouth is swelling.
