Lori drank Strawberry Zabaglione by 52teas

Is this possibly better than Marco Polo? The strawberry flavor seems to be stonger than the classic Mariage Freres blend. The berry flavor is not tart but delightful w/some creaminess in the background.

So jealous right now! This tea and the Buttered Cinnamon Raisin Toast are the two teas I’m waiting on to get here!

@mrawlins2 – good choices! I really like this and the Buttered Cinnamon Raisin Toast… I was very pleasantly surprised by the Buttered Cinnamon Raisin Toast especially… YUMMY!

I’m really hoping they will be here on Monday. The more I think about the Cinnamon Raisin Toast, the more I can’t wait.

Both are very good!

hmmm…I was actually considering getting the marco polo, but this would definitely put a smaller dent in my wallet!

Amandajo- you should try the Strawberry Zag. – it has a stronger punch than Marco Polo…

Alas, the strawberry zab is sold out! Looks like I will have to wait for another reblending!…And I actually did purchase this one once and never got to try it… I gave it away to a friend from work (who loves tea) as a going away gift! :O

Profile

Bio

Just a few months ago the only tea I drank was hot lipton tea at work, an occasional mint tea, and sweet iced tea.. Then my daughter got me some loose leaf teas for Christmas and then, my tea addiction began…..

And what better way to get lots of dessert flavors w/o the calories?

I prefer my tea with a tinge of sugar. Is that cheating? But to me , the combination of sugar and tea is like salt and cooking- both bring out the natural flavors.

My tea drinking has evolved into a set routine: a breakfast blend in the AM, some flavored blacks during the day, late afternoon or evening flavored green/white, herbal (usually spicy, chai inspired) at night.

Not into unflavored greens/whites yet. Just started appreciating unflavored blacks and am thinking that smoky teas may become my favorite…
When I am not drinking tea, I am working as an engineer, reading, watching some of the better TV shows (like Damages and Breaking Bad), practicing my yoga, cooking, gardening, and spoiling my two miniature poodles (Coco and Timmy)…
