Best grocery store chai I’ve found.
…but I’m not much for grocery store tea these days.

This is exactly as described – sweet, gingery and peachy. Needs no sweetening. The black tea seems to be very good quality and tasty. Altogether, not a tea I would have expected to find on the shelf at the local grocery store.

steeped extra long, milk, sugar. this smelled minty out of the box and tasted minty out of the cup. the tea itself isn’t a bad quality but the ginger overwhelms it a bit. it’s not as smooth as republic of tea’s lower quality, but nummier ginger peach tea.

Drank this while I was watching the Olympic Opening Ceremonies. Man they were awesome! Although, unfortunately there was a pal cast over things by Georgian luger, Nodar Kumaritashvili’s death while training on the track up at Whistler today. :(

Preparation
175 °F / 79 °C 3 min, 30 sec

Tragic, indeed.

oh, I didn’t know they made a pear… wish my local cafe (which only carries Revolution) had this!

It was so sad to see the Georgian team come in with their black armbands, and as the music died down and the crowd stood. So sad. I can’t believe that they’re blaming him, and not the track! One luger was knocked unconscious last week, and several have fallen off their sleds. Several others have reported having great difficulty navigating the track. Ugh.

I steeped this a bit longer than I normally do and I’m noticing a nutty flavour coming out of the background – not unlike the one I get from Angrboda’s Pai Mu Dan that she sent me. LOL, it’s making me ridiculously proud that my sense of taste is becoming well-developped enough to pick out what variety of tea is in a blend. :D

not unlike, eh? ;)

Ah, it’s nice to revisit an old favorite. I unearthed this while sorting through my tea cupboard in an attempt to: a) arrange things so that I don’t risk an avalanch every time I open the door, and b) sort out what I might like to donate to the Travelling Teabox (and yes, Angrboda, I know I’m #25 – it’s your own fault for getting us so excited about the whole thing). ;)

Preparation

Well, I couldn’t have done it in secret. :p It’s the price we must pay. But for all those impatient peeps out there, remember that I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down at the bottom! Oh, I hope it gets to the first person soon!

Carolyn

How does everyone know what their number is?

Angrboda

Carolyn, because they’ve asked me. :) Do you want to know yours?

Carolyn

Sure. That sounds good.

Angrboda

Not counting myself as first, you’re number 12

Carolyn

Cool. I’m more or less in the middle. Thanks!

I drank the re-steep from yesterday’s tea iced just now and it’s wonderfully refreshing. Actually I think the pear flavours come out more when this tea is cold as opposed to hot.

So I got vaccinated for the swine flu and the regular flu today (yay universal healthcare)and my arms are feeling rather sore so I needed something nice and soothing. This late in the day I generally don’t need the big energy jolt that black tea gives me unless I’m either studying or going out later.

This is still may favorite white tea, I love the flavourful white tea accented with notes of real pear. Although I think I might have oversteeped it just a touch judging by the taste; it’s like it’s just on the cusp of turning bitter.

Despite being a bagged tea this re-steeps very well.

Must get a pear tea. Must get a pear tea. Must get a pear tea. I need to tattoo this somewhere.

I was impressed to see real pear bits in the ingredient list. Most fruit teas just have some mysterious ‘flavouring’ and leave it at that. The tea is nice and smooth and I love the hint of pear which is just strong enough to make itself known without overwhelming the tea.

If English Breakfast is your basic black, this is your little black dress. The swanky bag is about as close as you can physically get to loose tea.

Had sweet fruity hints without all the green tea bitterness. Loved it.

I recommend making this in small cups. If it sits too long, it starts to get bitter.

Seriously…this must be the perfect amount of ginger I can handle…just there…not over powering…LOVE it! The Peach is more prominent but I like that!

Still enjoy this tea. Some teas I have a problem with ginger. For some reason the ginger content in this tea is just a happy medium. Nice! LOVE the smell before, during, and after steeping, too! Doesn’t leave a bad aftertaste so that is always a plus. Looking forward to getting another tea from Revolution in the near future, I hope…

You might like the Earl Grey Lavender – not that I’m an enabler or anything . .

I seem to be very fickle today. This tea has helped a little but I am still looking for the perfect tea that stomps the fickleness. This is great iced, too, btw!
