I made this as a breakfast smoothie this morning. I’m too lazy to make oatmeal or eggs.
So, raspberry white matcha, some frozen raspberries, soymilk and soy protein. The raspberry flavoring is really strong!

I’ve been loving this pic http://cheezburger.com/7168217856
though, relating it to tea caffeine instead.

Happy Easter!
This was my easter morning tea while I made french toast! Mmm, this tea is good – I love the candy like strawberry and tangyness!

No chocolate in me yet, though I tend to buy all my easter chocolates tomorrow!

Been having a long day. My husband got in a minor car accident yesterday (just cosmetic car damage) and dealing with that – plus he got like 2 hours notice he has to do a 3 hour drive to help out his friend, who’s quite sick. I was almost done my review, but I had to stop and start making food for his drive, as well as treats for his friend.

Finally, onto Tropical Mango! This tea is best iced! It has that “classic iced tea” flavor, but with juicy mango. Much better than store bought mango iced tea!

Dear Steepster,

You need to try this tea cold steeped. I didn’t think it would turn out, as I thought the coconut wouldn’t come through very well. I was totally wrong. 3.5 hours in the fridge turned this tea sweet, coconutty, refreshing with lots of levels of dimension from the white tea. Also creamy. Better than coconut water!

p.s. tea leaves look great on my head.

Oooh, pear tea! I got this in a free sample weekend deal. Man, Della Terra sales are super tempting, especially when they got new teas!

I love the fun appearance with the golden sugar crystals and pearly gold sugar balls, mixed with the black tea leaves!

Taste wise, is a juicy – either drippy ripe or baked pear that is sweet with a black tea base. The pear is quite delicate. Simple and tasty! I was expecting something more fun, since the appearance is cool and recent tasting of Della Terra’s more unique teas (corn!)
This be a good tea for a new tea drinker, or a gift for one of those old school black tea drinkers.

I got so many black teas that have been lonely and not used since I’ve been on a green and white kick. Ditto for my mate collection!

I realized yesterday that my cold is gone, probably from sinus rinsing (ew) so yay! I can go back to working on reviews! And drinking good teas – though I did drink that sakura sencha from Den’s yesterday, lol!

Fantasy, today tasted quite smokey caramel to me. Not much in fruity taste sadly, but kinda sweet from the honey in the blend. Not bad, but good black tea to start my day.

This tea cold steeped for like 3 hours is AMAZING!

It’s smooth, really buttery, sweet with a hint of cherry and floral. Its taste is like the smell of falling cherry blossoms.

WOW

So good! I wanna guzzle this whole cup down, but I should savor it!

Drinking the last tea bag of this yay!

And oversteeping it as I have no where to put the tea bag! I’d have to go downstairs and fetch a saucer and I’m too lazy right now. I thought I had a saucer up here for emergencys like today.
Now I’m starting to think this kickstarter is a good idea http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/klip/klip-ditch-that-saucer-and-sip-as-you-brew?ref=live
Though, I’ve been doing in mug steeping because I’m out a 2 cup teapot. Maybe I should get just a freaking new tea pot.

Flavor? Actually not going bitter that fast and the coconut flavor is getting stronger. End of the cup the tea is starting too pungent for my liking.

Darn cold! This tea tastes bland and I know it’s not bland! This tea is freaking delicious creamy lemony and bit of lime tastyness!
I even added a couple lemon slices and some honey too! Though, bland is better than bitter – which happened last time I got sick and it got to my sinuses.

Not the most tasteful joke, but it’s my husband and he’s that kind of guy. I was complaining about my sense of taste being out from being sick and he said, “As long as you don’t make your tea with 100 bags”. Uggggg!

Time to save my good teas and switch to lemon, ginger, honey, cayenne brews until I’m better.

This is an interesting tea. It’s a fruity herbal. The pomegranate flavor is quite nice – tastes like pomegranate juice, though much weaker, but the tea finishes off with a bit of raisiny and vanilla flavor.

Totally not a fan of the raisin and vanilla mix with this tea. Tart pomegranate mixed with warmy sweet raisin and creamy doesn’t agree with me. I do love the pomegranate in this tea though. The best application has to be iced as it tastes like pomegranate juice, but with the weird flavors at the end. Worst was cold steeped – it was just pure on raisin tea. Not for me, but I’m sure someone out there will enjoy this tea! Anyways – this tea is in my swap pile, I hope it’ll find a loving new home!

(fyi, prewrote this review before I got a cold, so it’s not my weird sinus cold making the tea taste funny).
