Teavana

Taken with milk and 1tsp Sugar.
Not the best but nice flavor.
I enjoy it. Coconut and Vanilla flavor are the most prominent.

Taken with Milk and Sugar.
Nice well blended flavored black tea that really does taste like a dessert. Nice change from Plain black tea.

A very light, delicious tea. It’s delicate and will overcook easily – brew for a very short time in lightly steaming water, or it will bitter.

Sweet, not overly fruity. The mango doesn’t overpower the green at all.

Just tried a tea I haven’t had in 3 months, and I’m finding it a lot better than the last time I drank it. I still won’t buy it again, but it’s definitely tastier than I originally thought it was. This time I can taste the pu-erh in the tea a lot more strongly (because I know what I’m tasting for, I think).

This tea didn’t really strike me as special. The strawberry smells great, but I didn’t find much of the flavor carry over to the drinking. It’s not bad, just not one of my favorites.

I braved the mall today (silly idea with the post-holiday crowds) and stocked up on one of my favorites – their Strawberry Lemonade Herbal tea. I love this tea – very light but very flavorful. And I splurged and got their perfect tea maker, so I’ve been playing with it ever since I got home, making this tea. Bliss…

I love this tea! It brews up a very light color, and can handle multiple steepings. It’s a very light flavor, more lemon than strawberry, and it is my current favorite evening tea.

Still my favorite. I always add a swirl of honey. The last drink is amazing.

Still my favorite tea.

Snow day. Need I say more?

One of my current favorites. Perfect cup to keep me going while grading papers.

I have been fond of Mate Vana by itself for a while now, but I find it to be better in blends: specifically, is my favorite blend: Honeybush Vanilla and Mate Vana, brew with some sugar and you have an excellent hot or cold tea.

Update:

Drinking the Honeybush Vanilla and Mate Vana again. I find that this tea is always a good blend to come back to. It does not need sugar, but sugar definitely helps to bring it to the next level.

Very good but needs milk. Steep the 1 teaspoon in about 8 ounces of water. Add in 2 ounces of whole milk to really bring out the woodsy flavors. It has a “watery” taste. Not as in watered down or bland, literally just a watery taste. It’s odd but good.

This is easily the worst brew I have had in a very long time

A solid Chinese black tea- not my personal favorite, but quite good.

Backlogging.

One cup of this with sushi. The grassy green complimented it well.

Backlogging.

Sencha. Only two steeps. I don’t know if it can go more because I usually stop drinking it halfway through the second cup. I’d been enjoying the grassy taste more lately, but still can’t drink too much of it.

2nd steep: 1 min 30 sec.

Backlogging.

Drinking this Sencha again sooner rather than later. I am not finding myself resteeping this tea when I have it. Perhaps I need to make sure I finish my cup while it is hotter, I don’t like this tea much as it cools.

Backlogging. Last Saturday afternoon.

I’m not too fond of this Sencha and don’t drink it often. But I found myself wanting an unflavored sencha and thought ‘go drink it then and use some of it up’. So I did. Grassy and better than I remembered. Perhaps I will try it again sooner.

I brewed a small pot of Sencha to drink while catching up on stuff at my desk. It started out a bit bitter but as my tongue got used to it, it softened nicely into a decently yum cup. This tea has always left a little tea leaf residue in the tea but there seems to be noticeably more in this pot.

Robins-egg blue teapot. 2 tsp.
Cream pottery teacup.

Added a couple drops of 1% milk. Tastes good.

This was good and calming. I enjoy chamomile.

I liked the orange slices but everything else made this too spicy for me.
