This tastes best piping hot!

I thought I’d be clever and try to make “chocolate covered bacon” tea by brewing about 1 1/3 Tbsp f this with 2/3 tbsp Maple bacon. All I got was a muddled mess of flavors, which did not improve with chilling.
I’ll leave the tea blending to the experts (Frank)!

Drinking it black this fine Monday morning, with a cinnamon roll on the side…

Tea Pear by Ito En
As with their “Tea Apple,” I found this one to be juicy, natural tasting. However, the tea is definitely secondary to the pear flavor. Very refreshing, and worth buying a bottle to try, but not something I would specifically seek out in the future.

Water was too hot, I ruined what would have been a good cup of tea. sigh will try again when I can give it better attention.
I wanted a breakfast tea with a hint of sweetness, and this did the trick! A short steeping and some sugar (no milk) kept it light.
I am going to use up the rest of this (about 10-12 bags) to try to make Thai Iced Tea for a potluck tonight, using this recipe as a guide: http://www.arborteas.com/teablog/tea-preparation/how-to-make-thai-tea-aka-thai-iced-tea-a-thai-tea-recipe-from-arbor-teas/
Will report on the results. Wish me luck!
last serving of this, with milk and sugar because I’m feeling contrary this morning (yesterday I liked it best iced with sugar only).
Fell asleep late, overslept, and am still having trouble feeling alert late this rainy morning. It is time for caffeine. (Actually I should have had some hours ago!)
Since I just tried Paris with sugar and no milk last week, and found it surprisingly pleasant, I decided to do the same with Monk’s Blend.

Tea Apple by Ito En
HisGirlOona is right: this tastes surprisingly like biting into a juicy red apple! They somehow bottled that “crisp” taste that bottled apple juice never seems to capture.
I can’t say much for the tea itself because I was too wowed by the apple. Not an everyday drink for me, but I’m glad I tried it. It was refreshing and would certainly fulfill an apple craving if you don’t have an apple handy!

I would have guessed mango, rooibos, hibiscus and mint as the ingredients, so I was pretty close. This is a juicy and enjoyable tisane, and would surely be great iced!
