Strong, distinct mandarin orange flavor. Not bad at all!

Just bought I box of this. I tastes pretty much like the Bigelow Orange and Spice, at least I couldn’t notice much based on my memory. If anything, I think there’s something a little stronger here, either more orange oil or one of the spices is stronger. Anyway, I like both of the teas, but not orange black teas. Iono why, but I’m glad I bought this! (and at $2, why not?)

made another soy latte today. i got frustrated that there wasn’t enough flavor and so my vigorous stirring tore apart the tea bag. since i would have to filter it anyway, i heated up the resulting cup to get extra flavor.

so in the end, it tasted pretty good, but i would hate to have to sift my latte every time just to get enough flavor. =/

brought some to class tonight. for some reason, it was more bitter than i expected. i tried adding sugar, but the white sugar classes with the orange flavor. i might try rock sugar or honey next time.

I like =] spicy enough to keep me interested, soothing enough to keep me calm.

also found out that it pairs well with chocolate =]

This clovey, orangey blend was one of my favourite teas when I was a kid, but I think the formula, or my tastebuds, must have changed – the last time I bought a box I found it quite overpowering and less satisfyingly complex.

I love to turn to this tea in the fall. It just goes well with spice cakes and the brilliant colors of the turning leaves. The exotic mandarin orange flavor in a hot tea is just what I need to put a little warm back into the shortening days.

I’m working on my third cup today.

My last tea bag. It’s sooo spicy and yummy, I love it.

I only have one tea bag left. I’m kinda sad.

I’ve already had a cup of coffee today, and am looking to balance it out with the citrus aromas of one of my favorite Celestia Seasonings teas…

Needs to be stirred, which I never do, as a lot of the spices sink to the bottom of the cup. But it’s good.

Nom nom…hrm, slorp slorp?

I stirred it this time. Taste is more full and very good. Not watery like usual. Maybe I’ve learned something now.
