KallieBoo! Thank YOU!

I always LOVE to find different and unique/creative flavor combo’s. When I saw this one in the envelop KallieBoo! sent me – I knew I had to try it first :)

I’m glad I did! This is a neat flavor – all ’it’s own’.

It infuses to a light-medium brown. It has a mellower and not very distinct aroma but it’s pleasant enough.

The flavor makes my taste buds VERY happy! The Fig Flavor is nicely done…sweet and ‘newton-like’. The lavender is in the background – pretty but not over powerful which is appreciated. There is a hint of licorice – as KallieBoo! mentioned, I do agree.

I really like this! Nice flavor! Smooth and Creamy, too! YUM!

KallieBoo!

I thought you’d like this one! It’s very different.

I was a little wary of this one given that i’m not a fan of lavender. There was just something about the smell that i wasn’t a fan of. Thanks go to KallieBoo! for sharing this one with me, though after tasting it, was not something that i can drink :) On the upside, it has peaked my interest in this tea company since the tea base and the fig taste hiding behind the lavender was quite nice. So still a win in my books! :)

thank you for this sample KallieBoo!
i am a dried fruit fanatic i will admit. like prunes and mangoes and currants and dates. all of it.
not so much a fan of lavender to be honest, but it works nicely in this blend. much better than it smells dry to my nose. once brewed it adds a whimsical or slight poetic quality to the scent but it isn’t a big deal in the flavor itself. it makes it breezy!
very fun and interesting cup. i drank my first brewed 12oz very fast. i even surprised myself!

Well I thought I’d get through more teas today but I just didn’t. Over steeped a bit but still enjoyable. Catching hints of brown sugar. It’s quite lovely :]

This is from the big box o’ tea sent by Youngest – many thanks!

I am happy to report that I DID sleep last night even though I couldn’t resist a cup of Violette from Dammann Freres shortly before bedtime. Perhaps keeping it to just five ounces or so is the key.

This morning I was in the mood to have a fruity tea again and this one had intrigued me since I first saw it. Opening the pouch, the aroma is first strong fig, a hint of molasses (from the base probably), and then there was a minty aroma which I realized was the lavender. Lavender and rosemary both can smell minty to me.

Steeped, this is a lighter black tea base than Violette. The aroma is strongly fig, and I feel like I am biting into a piece of toast spread with Bonne Maman fig jam. It even conveys the sweetness of the jam to me, and that’s without adding sugar! It is just that evocative of the scent, I suppose.

I find the lavender to be pretty light and the fig to be the dominant flavor. It is delicious, and I bet it would make a wonderful fruity sweet iced tea as well.

Thank you, again, Youngest!

Backlog:

This tea smells amazing. I love lavender, and while lavender and fig are two flavor profiles I would have never thought to blend together, this works. This just may be the best fig tea I’ve tasted yet. I like the way the lavender and fig taste together.

This one made my repurchase list, and it’s not often that I come across a tea that belongs on that list.
