Pomegranate Oolong from Harney & Sons
Elaichi (Cardamom) Tea from Tetley
Organic Peppermint from Traditional Medicinals

Found this lurking in the back of the cupboard…thankful. Peppermint helps me concentrate so it’s the perfect herbal to have on hand while I study for a major exam. Not much to say, it’s peppermint (but organic so added plus). But good, even surprisingly, for coming in bagged form, really good.

For some reason, the first time I had this tea, it reminded me of Adagio’s Scorpio tea…which doesn’t make a lot of sense because that tea has a rooibos base and mango flavor in addition to the chocolate. On my first few cups of this, I thought I preferred Adagio. But the more I drink this one, the more I really like it, and the Adagio comparison seems to diminish.

It has some of my favorite notes in teas (e.g. vanilla) and I like the slightly spicy aroma. It’s a good dessert tea for blah days when I’m in need of something special. I didn’t buy too much of it because I hadn’t sampled it before buying, but I’m working my way through my 2 oz. pretty quickly and will have to decide soon if I’m going to buy more as a standby.

This is my favorite “I have a lot of stuff to do today and I don’t want to do any of it but I have no choice so I might as well be cheerful about it” tea. It has a cleansing aroma, a naturally sweet taste, and when I drink it, I feel calm and focused.

Today, I finally figured out how to brew this properly to bring out the creaminess and orchid notes. What worked for me is increasing the water temp nearer to (but not fully) boiling, and using more tea (1.5 tsp). Really enjoying the taste now!
