Numi Organic Tea

I think I let this steep too long. I’m not really a fan, even though it flowered.

Second steep was for way longer than recommended. Probably about half an hour! I added some agave before even sipping, but after trying it, I don’t think the sweetener was even needed!

Thumbs up for the display as much as the taste. This is a good cup of black tea, but the thing that sets it apart is the flower. I know my second cup will steep past the point I typically like, but I’m still looking forward to the second cup.

2nd steep, also for way longer than recommended. Had this cup with agave nectar. Still great!

I was going through my tea closet, looking for some matcha, and found a few Numi flower teas! I over-steeped this one a bit, (I really liked the look of the flower, so I didn’t want to pour out the water!), but it is still very, very good. I’m having it without any sweetener.

An old standby favorite.

I steeped for 6 minutes. It’s not a very strong rooibos. It doesn’t have the rich flavor that so many do.

I had the Aged Earl Grey: Fair Trade Certified™, Certified Organic Italian Bergamot Black Tea. Steeping for 3 minutes (3-5 recommended) produced a perfect cup of tea. I’m not typically an Earl Grey drinker. It is usually too bitter for my tastes. This cup was delightful. The bergamot was not too strong.

Today I had the Golden Chai. I steeped it for 4 minutes (recommended 3-5). This is not a strong chai by any means. I like my chai to be very strong, so that when milk is added, it becomes a creamy spicy tea. This was not like that at all. Nice flavor, but too weak for my tastes.

Earthy vanilla flavor. No sugar (I don’t really like the taste in this kind of thing). I might have steeped it a bit long, but it tastes good.

Refreshing flavor. The lemon is the perfect blend with this green tea.

This may replace my English Breakfast as my morning tea. I steeped it for 3 minutes, and it is the perfect gentle cup of tea for the morning. No aftertaste, no bitterness, just a lovely balance of black tea and orange pekoe.

I had this last night before bed. It was the perfect relaxer. Even though I oversteeped it (12 minutes versus the 4-6 recommended), there was no aftertaste, and the flavor was wonderful. The mixture of lemon and chamomile was the most relaxing end to the day.

Had it for the SMELL of it! :)

And AFTER Lunch…

Had with Lunch

I was looking for something refreshing with a nice smell and GREEN…decided to do this one again! LOVE IT!

Refreshing. Fun. Yippeee!

Totally smells like Lemon Pledge. Light in color. Mild taste with a little lemony goodness. Almost a floral undertone of sorts. I haven’t had this in a while. Now I remember that I like it! YAY!

Mmm, mint teas. I pretty much love ANY mint tea, though Iam picky about general flavor and such. This isn’t as smooth as Ineeka’s tea, but it is pretty delicious and light – though I sometimes feel very heavy (not as in weight) after I drink it.

It’s probably just the water here in Decatur, IL, but the taste certainly doesn’t match up to what I’m used to.

I don’t drink this often but I was looking for something different. The smell still gets me…ek! And I wouldn’t say it’s GOOD but I’ve had worse. The smell really stands in the way.
