Chocolate Almond Allure from Talbott Teas

Dinosara drank Chocolate Almond Allure by Talbott Teas

Another tea that obviously fits my recent chocolatey/nutty/rich tea kick. I also could use a fair amount of perking up this morning, so a nice full-bodied black tea was definitely in the cards. This tea is just so delicious! Glad I have a full tin of it that will last me for a while.

Will Talbott still be around now that Jamba Juice bought them? I don’t know about you, but I don’t associate Jamba Juice with ‘gourmet’. They are good, but I think it’s the mall thing that gets me.

I read the Tribune article about this…it sounds like things will stay pretty much the same (location and employees), but they will be able to reach a larger audience. Good for them, and good for tea!

That sounds like pretty good news! And it would be awesome to be able to get some of their teas at a place like Jamba Juice… there are so few places that offer tea-to-go that I actually like.

Profile

Bio

I am tea obsessed, with the stash to match. I tend to really enjoy green oolongs, Chinese blacks, and flavored teas with high quality bases, especially florals, bergamot-based teas, and chocolate teas.

I’m a grad student and in my free time I am a birder, baker, and music/movie/tv addict.

I have an Adagio Teas UtiliTEA kettle and a Tea Forté Kati cup for brewing. I also have a Chinese Ru Kiln tea set for gongfu brewing.

Here are my rating categories, FYI:
100-90: These teas are mind-blowingly good to me.
89-80: I really really like these teas and will keep most of them in the permanent collection, but they’re not quite as spectacular as the top category
79-70: Tasty teas that I enjoy, but definitely won’t rebuy when I run out.
69-65: Teas that I would probably drink again, but wouldn’t seek out. They don’t quite do it for me in one aspect or another; often just not quite my style
64-60: Teas that I don’t really enjoy all that much and wouldn’t drink another cup of.
59-50: Bleh. I usually choose not to finish the cup because life’s too short to drink tea I dislike.
49 and below: Mega yuck. This tea is just disgusting to me.
