What to pick...

I won 52teas weekly give away! But… now comes the hard part… choosing which tea I want! I love Mayan Chocolate Chai, but I’m thinking of picking something else since that’s a permanent offering. I’m considering Cucumber Melon Green… Any suggestions?

If I had won (I am going to win that thing eventually!!), I would pick the irish creme black tea or the peanut butter chai.

Both good suggestions, but I have an irish creme blend of my own here already and I have a sample of peanut butter chai.

What’s up they don’t have any Matcha?? LOL

Mandarin Matcha sold out ages ago and they doing have the strawberry ready yet.

Cofftea I know on both accounts (mandarin and strawberry) but I also know you love Matcha so I was just joking with you.

I would pick Malted Genmaicha, but that’s just me…

Overall I think picking one of the limited editions would be best since they may not be reblended. Pick whatever intrigues you most! Congrats. I was #9 last month – so close!

I totally agree w/ that theory- hence why I am resisting buying my beloved Mayan Chocolate Chai. Malted Gen Mai Cha may be risky though because I do not like roasty teas, especially Gen Mai Cha… And I don’t like malt either.

Taking another look at the website, I think that the Birthday Cake Black tea, Ultimate Chocolate Rooibos, and the Razzleberry Green all sound pretty awesome too. I have got to get around to trying some of their stuff soon.

While it sounds really good, Birthday Cake also sounds like it may be sickeningly sweet so I’d probably make tiny cups so it’d take me forever to get thru. Ultimate Chocolate Rooibos sounds good, but I hate red rooibos so I’m not sure the chocolate would be strong enough to cover it, and Razzelberry Green sounds good as well, but I can get similar teas elsewhere… hmmm…

Cucumber Melon Green Tea or Golden Raisin Oolong… and then tell me how it is! There’s a lot of positive reviews of Malted Genmaicha, which also sounds good.

Congrats on being the winner!! I’d have a really hard time picking one!

Well I don’t like raisin (I’m raisined out after the cinn toast one)… so it just may be cuc melon… thinking of using that to flavor matcha one day when I REALLY need a kick in my wheels and have time to do it.
