Backlogging! I had this tea last night after I finally got up the nerve to try a tea with cucumber in it. Well, I’m glad that I gave it a chance because this tea was very refreshing. The cucumber seemed to provide a clean backdrop for the mint which worked very well together. Out of all the Tea Forte blends I’ve tried, this is the only one that I would consider purchasing. I think this tea would be remarkable iced so maybe I’ll put it on my list for next spring.

I found a bit of this tea after organizing my tea cupboard so I decided to brew some up. The aroma of this tea is amazing: sweet, honey, clean. The taste is much the same. This is a very mild oolong, but quite tasty.

I rearranged my tea cupboard today and found that I still had a bit of several teas that I had forgotten about. This was one of them and now it is a SIPDOWN!

This is a very smooth tea but I’m not getting a lot of chocolate this time, mostly mint but I’m still enjoying it.

I’m starting my Saturday with this tea and I’m really liking it! I wish I had picked something with a bit more heft, but for now this Yunnan is doing just fine with its peppery bite and smooth almost caramel aftertaste.

SIPDOWN!

I haven’t had this in awhile, but I think this is the best this tea has ever tasted. I have to say that this tea will definitely be missed! It is very creamy orange today and I’m enjoying it quite a bit.

I took this in my travel mug to work today and it was awesome! I’m close to the end of the package so the cayenne is a bit stronger than previously, but it did a marvelous job of keeping me alert.

SIPDOWN #2!

Although this is a good, stout tea I’m deducting a few points because it is quite bitter today and not as good as I remember it. Perhaps it was old or was broken up a bit more at the bottom of the tin but I’m not sure if I’ll finish the pot.

Okay, a bit of milk helps to tone down the bitterness and bring out a nice maltiness. I’ll finish the pot but I don’t think I’ll be restocking.

SIPDOWN!

I’m down to the dregs of a few teas so I’ll be going on a Sipdown today! I haven’t had this in ages, but I do like it. Nice, smooth cinnamon flavor without bitterness even though I steeped this a touch longer than I should have.

I’m revisiting this one tonight as I was wanting something super floral and this definitely fits the bill. Smooth, floral and relaxing – this is a definite must-try for jasmine lovers!

Holiday lineup from Celestial Seasonings has arrived in my neck of the woods! I’ve having this as a tea latte with honey and it is deliciously reminiscent of true sugar cookies straight from the oven. So good and so comforting before bed with a great book (Inkheart series by Cornelia Funke is amazing! I’m currently on Inkspell.)
