I love all things coconut and this tea is no exception. Pretty straightforward and simple, green tea with a natural tasting coconut flavour. What’s not to love? I found it at Winners for a great price. I would definitely buy this again.

A simple, mild peppermint tea. I have yet to have a peppermint tea that I didn’t like. When I want to make sure that I have an enjoyable cup of tea, I reach for peppermint.

A good green tea. Nothing fancy, no bells and whistles. This one is better than average for sure. Would buy again.

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve had to add a new tea to the steepster catalog but I picked this one up from Marshalls. (I realllly need to stop buying tea…)

Didn’t realize this has rose or licorice in it when I bought it but I was pleasantly surprised by it’s absence. It is tart, but not too tart. The hibiscus, though it’s a main ingredient, it pretty mellow and lets the berry flavors shine through a bit.

This is quite a mild tea but it has an interesting and enjoyable blend of flavors. I find that the licorice flavor really comes through more in the aftertaste but it is only slightly noticeable when you first taste it.

About 10 seconds after I swallow the tea the licorice flavor starts to come out and it lasts for a couple minutes before you need to take another sip. It is strange how that works.

The more I drank the better I liked this tea. This is one of those teas that you want to just sip slowly and spread the taste out over a longer period of time.

Thanks to MissB for sending me some of this! Honestly, I was a little reluctant to try this after reading the ingredients list. Licorice AND anise? Black pepper? These are not ingredients that I am traditional fond of. But actually this isn’t so bad. I’m not picking up any spiciness. Instead it tastes mostly like sweet licorice candy. Not something I would pick up on my own but certainly not something I would pour out either. It’s as good iced as it is hot. Sipdown!

Wuuuuh, it’s FREEZING outside! Parts of my state are actually already getting snow! Fall and spring don’t last nearly long enough anymore.

Having a cup of this to warm myself up and also to ward off any wind-sickness I might get from wearing an inadequately warm jacket and having the tops of my feet exposed. I love ginger; it’s such a magical herb. This particular tea is rather unexciting though, so once it’s sipped down I’ll be in the market for a better ginger base blend.

And drinking this one, mostly because I wanted an excuse to get off the freaking phones for one freaking minute at work, but also because it is good for my throat, which is sore from allergies and talking to stupid people nonstop.

If I get “I don’t know, I’m not tech-savvy” one more time after I ask which browser a caller is using…. I shall scream.
