18 Tasting Notes
For my first time trying this blend it was actually really good. A lot of the time I find myself trying new teas iced first to enjoy the flavors that way before transferring over to hot. This blend was different, I actually really enjoyed this one as a hot tea after a long hard day. Today especially has been pretty cold so having a good hot cup of tea to warm up with really came in handy!
I also found for this blend there weren’t teas in Steepster to choose from so I had to add my own. The blend that I could find, and many of, was Citrus Lavender Sage by Teavana. I was guessing this was what this blend use to be before the company did their remodel because the blend I drank today didn’t have any sage in the ingredients.
Flavors: Chamomile, Lavender, Lemon, Sweet
Preparation
I can’t really decide if this is a blend I recommend just yet. It could’ve been that I under steeped it, I made 3 teaspoons in my DavidsTea perfect steeper for about 4 minutes and felt the taste lacked a bit. I could taste the lemon most and raspberry slightly but it really just tasted like flavored water.
Flavors: Lemon, Lemongrass, Raspberry
Preparation
H is for … Headache Halo (Ode to Tea)
I just have to start by saying I am actually obsessed with this Rooibos blend from DavidsTea. It’s probably my favorite rooibos blend they have created. It’s perfect for this nights when I have a mild tension headache or just when I need a nice cup to help me fall asleep. Tonight is the second of the two, I knew when I had to drink I blend that started with H this would be the perfect would to save for the end of the night!!
Flavors: Lavender, Mint, Rooibos
Preparation
G is for …. Green Tea! (Ode to Tea)
This one’s a mystery!! I have a had a couple mystery green teas gifted to me a little bit ago now that I have just stuffed away and slowly picked at. Well today’s the day I will be drinking the last of that back and all I know is that this blend is made by Harney and Sons. Love crossing empties off my list and being able to add physical items into my discard basket, this time its a baggie that use to hold some miscellaneous green tea bags!
Flavors: Floral, Grass, Rose, Sweet
G is for … Green Tea with Coconut!
Let me tell you I am not a huge green tea fan at all, but when I steep these tea bags just right, I am obsessed with these light, coconut flavored teas! I was gifted a baggie of four a while ago in a swap and this was my last one, sad to see them go but there’s another blend I get to see leave my collection. I won’t be officially counting this as my empty until I finish the last green tea by Harney that I kept in the same baggie. It’s not the coconut blend, but it is some mystery green tea I have loved!
Flavors: Coconut, Grass
Preparation
Woke up this morning not feeling 100%, stomach feeling whoosy and a bit nauseous. What better way to fix this then with a heaping cup of ginger tea! This blend brews out to a beautiful reddish, pink color and smells strongly of the ginger and turmeric. At first sips ginger is the first flavor to hit my tongue followed my a sweet taste, I’m guessing from the beet and pineapple. If turmeric and ginger are your cup of tea this is one you must try!
Flavors: Ginger, Licorice, Sweet
Preparation
F is for … Find your Wings
This lovely blend is from a new company called Sella! Their blends have such unique names that make you want to dive in to each and every one of them. This is a refreshing cup to end the night with and compose your thoughts from the day!
Flavors: Floral, Fruity, Mint, Tart
F is for … Flamingo Fresca!! (Ode To Tea)
Flamingo Fresca makes for a perfect glass of ice tea mixed with lemonade! If you haven’t tried this combination yet you need to run to your kitchen right this instant and make it now!! It’s delicious for a warm evening like today and the lemonade add just the right amount of sweetness to the tarty, fruitiness. It’s a must try for sure
Flavors: Fruity, Strawberry, Sweet, Tart
I honestly don’t mind this tea without any sweeteners or creamers, just completely black. This isn’t a tea I would keep my the bag in even though this is something I am usually guilty of. Taking it out earlier I feel helps to minimize the soapy flavor that people sometimes can have with this blend and just a plain lemon, black tea blend.
Flavors: Lemon, Tea
Preparation
E is for … English Breakfast! (Ode to Tea)
I love a nice cup of black tea, sweetened with some sugar and topped off with coffee cake creamer, such a treat for my morning. Tea of Life, makes amazing tea bags in all tastes and blends, their black tea blends are so warming and a perfect way to jump start the morning. These are some of my favorite tea bags to have on hand!
Flavors: Tea
