I know you are dying to know about our newest tea of the week. I am drinking it iced now, and it is SO delicious and refreshing and totally original. (Would you expect anything less from 52teas?)
We’ve blended our premium Indian black teas with real freeze-dried orange sections, freeze-dried raspberries and natural lime, orange and raspberry flavors (with just a touch of natural vanilla flavor to give it that smooth sherbet essence).
This tea SMELLS simply INCREDIBLE, like you just popped open a carton of rainbow sherbet, and the flavor is like someone melted a scoop of rainbow sherbet in your tea. Lime, orange, raspberry–who knew such an unusual combination would prove to be so delicious?
At 52teas.com, you will find unique, hand-blended artisan loose leaf teas: a new limited edition creation every week of the year. We pride ourselves on offering truly unique, one-of-a-kind tea blends that you won’t find anywhere else.
Drank a big cup of this hoping to get some more energy in my system. I’ve been going strong since 5:00am and I still have a ways to go on custom etsy orders D: This is one of my favorite flavored black teas :) I loved the SBT version of this too. It has sweet/tart fruity flavors that make a perfect sherbet taste :)
Sipdown (169/175)!
Oh man, I think this is officially the last of the samples I got from Kittenna way back in December! No clue why I held on to this one for so long either, it was such an easy one to finish off because the sample was really small. Perfect, in fact, for a cold brew – so that’s how I finished it off because “Rainbow Sherbet” is totally a cold brew oriented flavour.
It was…
Not good. Mostly icky cold black tea and funky, nondescript fruit flavour. The two didn’t really mesh well and it was really gross to drink, so I just dumped it and bought myself a sickly sweet Nestea instead. That tasted better, heh…
In other news work was a mess today! Our air conditioning was broken so the store was sweltering hot all day to the point where the chocolate bars were beginning to get very soft, borderline squishy. Like a genius I wore several layers of clothing and my heaviest pair of cargos (because they’re the most durable for doing labour work). It was very uncomfortable to work in and I was disgusting and sweaty all day with my hair clinging to my face and nasty stuff like that. Of course today Geordan decided today was a good day to come visit me at work with me being all gross and stinky and stuff…
And then on top of that, in the afternoon during the busiest part of the day our power went down; but not the mall’s power, no of course it wasn’t that simple. Instead it was just the power for our store. Apparently there was construction going on the roof above us and no one bothered to let us know – which is an issue in and of itself. But, the construction combined with all our electrical stuff and trying to get the air conditioning running blew several fuses and it took about two and a half hours to get everything running again. We had to evacuate the store and shut down for a while.
I rewarded myself tonight with a shower and some pear and brown sugar, though!
Did you cold or hot steep this?
Hot steep, couldn’t share that from my phone. I can send it to you if you’d like to play with it – I suspect there’s some contamination in here with strawberries, as I’m having an allergic reaction still.
If this is the loose tea version, it is very old. Sorry to hear it was no good any more. Our iced tea version of this is one of my all time favorites.
This is the loose tea version, and it is very old. Didn’t rate it specifically for this reason.
