Bagged Bonanza Tea #3 for today!
Special Thanks to Amanda for this one!

My Norwegian surely needs to be improved. I have looked into Rosetta Stone but as of last year they didn’t offer Norwegian. I really want to learn more. The only bit I know is from my relatives from their parents and a few online buddies. I know that Nordqvist Tea is out of Finland and some of the Finnish Words are close to Norwegian Words…so I could read the words “Valkoinen Greippi Aloe” or "Vitt Grapefrukt Aloe: Vitt te med naturligt aromer fran aloe vera och grapefrukt which I guess translates to "White Tea Grapefruit Aloe: White Tea, Aloe Vera and Grapefruit Flavouring. INTERESTING.

Anyhow…

This certainly SMELLS more like Aloe than Grapefruit. It TASTES like a nice and mellow combo of all three – White Tea, Aloe, Grapefruit. With these quiet hints of flavors combined it gives it a more herbally taste or maybe even floral even.

I appreciate the different ingredients and flavor combo’s here…it’s different and you know I like that. This is a nice yet subtly flavored white tea in a bag…a rare find…but I am enjoying it quite a bit!

I didn’t feel like going to my first class today. It’s such a waste of time. I can’t understand the professor, she puts the slideshows online, and if she has a quiz, it’s extra credit. What is that. Plus I got not one, but two calls this morning, waking me up, and neither were of any use to me, so of course now I am freaking out that my stupid typo on my resume has royally screwed me forever.

Oh and I didn’t even want this tea. I thought the blueberry muffin flavor would have the blue wrapper. It’s purple. I guess that makes sense since we are talking about muffins. And of course I didn’t notice until it was already steeping.

I got the whole set of these white teas from someone in Finland in exchange for some bagged teas from a company in Atlanta that of course went under. This one is probably my least favorite, but that’s because to me, aloe is for when I have ended up with a sunburn. So I cannot help but feel like I am drinking something to soothe my sunburn.

But the flavors are spot on for a bagged tea. It’s one of the most grapefruit tasting teas I’ve had. I so prefer the blueberry muffin one though.

Also heads up to anyone who needs/wants tins, The Container Store sells 4 oz ones for $1.29 each, and if you sign up for their emails you get a 10% off coupon, dropping them to $1.16. I ordered 5 for all the matchas I have and I’ll definitely pick up more later! I don’t know why it took me so long to look and see if they had tins like that at a good price.
