I like this tea a LOT. I’ve always been partial to Assams, and this is wonderfully malty and robust. I like it with a splash of milk. SO TASTY.

Boiling 3 min, 30 sec

Needed something to drink with my morning meds… This is the last of the pitcher. It tastes good, but I think I’m going back to cheaper herbals for my iced tea.

I had some of this when I got home from Camiah’s. It was really good. I love the almond biscotti part of the flavor. Blends wonderfully with the coffee taste.

Had some of this today with my friend Camiah. My bag of it is a couple of years old, and it’s lost a bit of its flavor, but it’s still pretty good.

I can’t sleep. So I made tea. This kind is supposed to be relaxing and comforting. It’s definitely comforting. Let’s hope it helps with the relaxing. Tasty as usual…

Well, I made it stronger, and it’s better. Still not great, but better. Given how much dry tea it took, I estimate the two-quart pitcher of iced tea costs $2.25 to make. That’s awfully expensive for iced tea. I won’t be buying this again because of that, even though the flavor’s good.

drank Cocoa Praline Tart by Teavana
117 tasting notes

I have now tasted all five Teavana teas I bought this morning… I didn’t mean to drink them all in one day. But I couldn’t help myself!

This tea is very, very sweet. It works pretty well if my sweet tooth is itching for something, but I don’t see this being a regular drink for me. Once in a while it will be nice, though. It’s very chocolatey, and quite tart. The fruit is a nice addition. It does kind of remind me of a chocolate praline, although the flavor isn’t quite the same. Not bad!

Boiling 5 min, 30 sec

Oooh, sounds interesting. I might have to cadge some of this off you.

drank Honeybush by Adagio Teas

You know, I’ve referred to lots of teas over the years as smooth. Honeybush isn’t. It’s kind of harsh, actually, but it’s still good. Tea with teeth.

We considered this one, and got the toasted nut brulee instead. Sounds interesting!

Camiah

Doh! Wrong entry. I do want to try honeybush too, in addition to the tiramisu. Clearly I’m too tired to internet.

I’m a thirtysomething college student (psychology major). Love to read and knit.

Tea preferences: I must admit that I’m not big on subtlety. I like my tea strong and for the flavor to whack me upside the head. I enjoy complex teas, but I just don’t have a sensitive enough palate for the subtle. I know, I’m a heathen…
