I received this tea from Fiddling as an extra sample when I purchased some teas from her. I really appreciate her throwing in 2 extra samples to taste. This tea is overwhelmed by the amount of lavender in it. I think if it had less lavender, it would be a nice mellow tea.

Still liking this tea ;-)

I did not like this tea. It was too bitter to be a fruit tea. I know it had grapefruit, but I figured it would be sweeter since I tasted this in the store, and they usually put a ton of German rock sugar in their samples. This one was not for me.

I have always liked coconut things, whether is was and Almond Joy or a homemade coconut creme pie. With that said, I was happy to take my first sip of this tea and really like it. I did doctor it up like I would a good chai tea and that just made the creaminess of this tea come out even more. I may have to buy this tea once my sample is gone.

I have had this tea twice now. Both times I had it made in the store, so I know they use more tea than I ever would at home. I think I liked it more the first time I bought it, but today it was not as good. Maybe less sugar or not brewed long enough. The store was super busy today and I had to wait a long time to order and then receive my tea. They apologized by giving me my tea for free. I was very thankful, but the tea was not as good as I remembered from the first time.

I made this tea with German rock sugar and some cream. It has a nice little spice to it, but it is not really chocolatey. I think maybe my tastebuds are use to coffee mochas, so this is a lot more mild. Maybe I just needed more of a kick this morning.

This teas is much most flavorful once sugar and milk is added. I don’t know what it is, but the sugar and milk bring out the peppermint flavor more than when it is drank plain. I do get the feeling of the holidays while drinking it, so the tea is properly named and a good winter tea.
