Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pu'erh from The Spice and Tea Exchange

Thanks to “Bonnie” for this sample… (And Many Others ;-))

This tea was good, pleasant and well blended, but too fruity for my taste! I like to taste the “Tea” for all of it’s intricacies!!

Lemon Ginger from Yogi Tea

Lemon Ginger & Stomach Ease (Yogi Tea)

A simply delicious combination for indigestion,heartburn and stuffy cold symptoms!!

Laoshan Village Chai from Verdant Tea

Thank you “Bonnie” For this Tea Sample! (And MANY others ;-))

While I don’t have much experience with Black Teas.! They also have not been my favorite among the varied, green, white’s and Oolongs which I prefer ;) This is the first time I am trying “Verdant” teas (Thanks to Bonnie) and I have to say that it is a very high quality tea!

I brewed My tea in a “Forlife” Curve Teamug http://www.forlifedesign.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12_5&products_id=36 at 195 F for 3 minutes and only using Stevia (Stevia Clear) for a sweetener! After steeping I noticed that the wet leaves had a bright fresh ginger/cardamom smell with a light woodsy -smokey afternote.

The taste of the tea (for a newbie like me) is kinda hard to describe!! It had a VERY WELL BALANCED (Chai’s are usually very heavily spiced from what I remember) Smokey-black tea flavor with hints of warm ginger /cardamom and a chocolatey aroma. Finishing off the palate with a buttery smooth mouth feel. It was still flavorful after it’s 2nd steeping and if this is the quality of “Verdant” teas…I’m definitely SOLD!!!

Too bad I can get only 2-3 infusions of this tea..it is pretty good, one of my second favorites so far!! Jasmine dragon phoenix pearls, I can make 5 infusions and enjoy it for a longer period of time without increasing my caffeine intake …..Mmmm Such a good tea !!!

Anyone have some loose leaf tea recommendations that are as yummy and effective as this tea??? A perfect accompaniment to any meal, works amazingly well for indigestion and nausea ;-)

Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls from Teavana
94

Silver Yin Zhen Pearls / Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls (Teavana)

Very Smooth combination with very subtle hints of Jasmine on the finish in the 1st infusion. Second infusion is still very smooth, dry/astringent taste on the finish. Silver Yin Pearls are very light for my taste, I guess my palate will become more refined as I drink more varieties of teas?
I enjoy drinking my teas..they are my little meditations throughout the day ;-))

Zingiber Ginger Coconut from Teavana

Zingiber Ginger Coconut /Spice of Life (flavored white tea)

Actually a very good combination!!! Warm spicy, cardamom and pistachio, flavored that is mellowed by the subtle hints of vanilla from the Rooibos!! I Wish this tea had no caffeine, I would definitely drink this at nighttime :-)

Jinjaa Citrus Twist from Teavana

Jinjaa Citrus Twist / Sencha

Trying to use up my Sencha (too vegetal for me)….I would much prefer my “Dragonwell” ..One of my favorites next to “Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls”!!

To Life from Teavana

To Life / Moroccan Mint

Not a big fan of the Moroccan mint (trying to use it up) Mixing with “To Life” makes it more palatable ;-)
