Rooibos Apricot Cinnamon from The Pleasures of Tea

Oof, watch out on the steep times for this one – I let it go a bit long thinking it could take it because it’s rooibos, but instead the apricot just steeped and steeped this into a sour, undrinkable cup. Whoops.

This is one of the most unique rooibos teas I’ve ever tasted – there’s a tartness to it, but it’s a very full-bodied tartness, the aftertaste of an apricot. It’s a very pretty tea in the canister with all the marigold petals, too. I can’t really taste the cinnamon chips at all. Weird, all in all, but not a bad weird by any means.

Peach Oolong from The Pleasures of Tea

Lovely light bodied tea with a nice peach accent flavor. Especially good with a little orange blossom honey (I’m not only a tea snob I’m a honey snob too :) )

My standby tea when I don’t know what else to drink. Lovely aroma and smooth delicious taste.

Finally found the optimal time and temp for this tea. A delicious cup to start my day.

Wonderful light tasting tea by far my favorite green tea

Earl White from The Pleasures of Tea

This is one of my most favorite teas. Tried it with a sweetener for the first time today (agave nectar) and found it tasted even better with just a drop of it mixed in

Peach Oolong from The Pleasures of Tea

Nice light tasting tea that was improved by the addition of a small amount of agave nectar to “pump” up the peach flavors.
