I’ve been rationing this tea since Celestial Seasonings has replaced this with Mandarin Orange Spice. Both might be orange spice but I prefer the Tuscany because I like the black tea blend. Often spice teas can over shadow the other flavors but I always enjoyed this combination of the orange flavor while retaining the black tea taste. Too bad this hit the “discontinued” list. But then what do I know - I still miss their “vintage” artistic boxes.

This is my absolute favorite tea. I used to order it direct from Celestial Seasonings by the case. The aroma as well as the taste is absolutely wonderful. I would make it, using 3 tea bags per 16-ounces of water and 2 artificial sweeteners. Let the water heat for about 2.5 to 3 minutes in the microwave then add the tea bags and steep for 5 minutes or so.

I left the tea bags in the cup until I finished, catching all of the lingering flavors.

I’ve just sent them a note asking if they will ever bring it back. I just don’t buy any other of their teas.
