Hot tea with milk and sugar at Cracker Barrel was a nice complement to a hearty breakfast with my visiting in-laws. I was pleasantly surprised that they serve Twinings Darjeeling. I was expecting Lipton, Luzianne, or at best Bigelow — something plain and/or Southern, not something “exotic” and British!

having a quick cup as a pick-me-up in the middle of a marathon housecleaning.

Oi Ocha + whole grain Goldfish crackers = a lunch that is at least marginally healthier than Coke & Doritos

drinking it plain today, to cut the richness of some leftover Quiche Lorraine.

Cold brewed 2 tbsp in 8oz water overnight. Made a strong and refreshing drink for lunch today. This was the last of this tea. Cold brewing seemed to bring out more balanced flavor, and no bitterness from either the tea or the citrus peels.

woke up with a bit of a stuffy head (it’s probably just the humidity), so I added a couple dashes of cayenne to this tisane. If nothing else, it will wake me up!

a nice change of pace. The citrus/mint combo is refreshing, and it’s just the right bland of sweet but a bit “dry”

Not quite as good as the cup my hubby made me Saturday. Wondering what his ideal ratio of tea/sugar/milk was…

Oddly, last time I said this was my favorite, and not too sweet…

Today I am saying; “this is not my fave of theirs, as it’s a bit too sweet for me, but anyone looking for a Southern Sweet tea alternative would probably like it.”

cold brewed overnight in vanilla coconut milk for a cold, creamy treat. yum!

I don’t know exactly how much milk and sugar my hubby added to my mug, but it was PERFECT this am. Sweet, creamy , floral. A heavenly cup of tea for a Sunday morning

Had a big mug this am (the Copco mug I won from bite of the Best, actually) with milk and sugar. It definitely helped wake me up! My tin is almost gone (maybe 6-7 tsp left?) but I have plenty of Paris to drink when it’s gone, plus some Lavender Earl Grey (Revolution), and a ton of Tippy Earl Grey (GM) that I won recently but haven’t opened…

Meh. Rather heavy, for a white tea, and a bit bitter, for a sweetened tea. Won’t buy again.

prepared using “So Delicious” brand vanilla flavored, sweetened coconut milk (I sifted the matcha first to get most of the sugar out, since it’s a sweetened milk – I’ll use the matcha sugar as yogurt or ice cream topping or something else)

this actually smelled like chocolate and rose, and tasted a bit that way too. I appreciate the complexity, but would only drink this once in a blue moon.

just as you finish tasting the sweet watermelon, the mint cuts in with it’s refreshing zing. This is the most unique, and refreshing of the Rooibee blends. I think it’s my favorite simply because it brings something unique to the mix, and it keeps your tastebuds engaged and the flavor combo stimulates your brain. At least my brain feels that way…

It is a bit weak in the flavor dept. (as others have mentioned), but at least I knew to expect that. Basically a smooth, light green tea with a hint of tropical flavor. I prefer the stronger flavor of their strawberry & vanilla, but this isn’t terrible, and would probably be good iced.

note: I opened the sachet and dumped it into my mesh basket style steeper. Also used about 6 oz water because I couldn’t stand to use only 4oz …
