Snowflake from Georgia Tea Company
88

I am going to be bouncing off the walls after I finish drinking this one. I am way over my caffeine allotment for the day, but I couldn’t help it. Daniel from Georgia Tea Company sent me some samples to try and they arrived in the mailbox today. I just HAD to try this one immediately. And… I love it.

I don’t tend to drink a lot of flavored blacks because the black tea tends to overwhelm the flavor (and the other reason is the caffeine). This tea is balanced, the flavors are strong, and there is no bitterness. The vanilla and almond are rounded out by the coconut. It definitely reminds me of cookies. I don’t think this sample will last long. And, I can see why this tea is listed as ‘a Christmas favorite’. It has that sitting by the fireplace, watching it snow out the window, & drinking tea, quality.

Almost 2 tsp to 10+oz water. Steeped for only 3ish minutes because I was worried the black would go bitter. Sweetened with Agave Nectar.

My samples arrived today too — I am soo excited! I’m enjoying my first cup (I see wall-bouncing in my future too). I think Snowflake is one of the samples I received as well — I can’t wait to compare, but it’ll have to wait ’til another day. :)

I can’t wait to see which ones you sample (which ones you got) and whether you like the same ones!

Thanks for the review, Kristin! I love this tea, truly one of my favorite flavored blacks. It’s a number one seller in the winter.

I might have to hoard it. It’s definitely a favorite flavored black!
