Afternoon tea time with a cup of this and a slice of orange cranberry bread. The weather has turned cold and rainy, and I’m thankful to be inside with a warm cup of tea. It’s almost that time of the year to start using the fireplace!

I’ll admit that I wasn’t expecting much out of this tea. Even when I opened the wrapper, I was about knocked over by the overwhelmingly strong, artificial orange scent. The tea itself had a malty aroma with a hint of juicy orange – much better! The flavor was a nice black tea base with a sweet orange finish. There is a fresh, juicy orange aftertaste that is dead-on with a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. We went to the fair last weekend and had fresh orangeade, and this tea reminds me very much of that. It’s perfect with a little milk and sweetener. I am definitely going to check the next time I’m at the grocery store to see if they have some of this. It would be wonderful for a breakfast tea, and I’d love to surprise my fiancee with some of this since he loved the orangeade at the fair so much!

-Standard teabag with a tag.
-Teabag smells strongly of artificial oranges. Tea liquor aroma is malty with a hint of juicy orange.
-Tea liquor is a cloudy dark brown color.
-Strong black tea flavor with a sweet orange finish. Fresh and juicy orange aftertaste that lingers.
-Best with milk and sweetener.
-Very good tea. Strong and sweet orange flavor. Reminiscent of a fresh orange juice orangeade.

I am fairly sure A Southern Season has it, but if you don’t find it I can have my girls pick it up in London next week! :)

Oh, and if you have Christmas Tree Shops near you, they get a lot of Twinings and other UK teas that are hard to find here.

Thank you, Ashmanra! We have so many stores around us, I am sure that one of them has it. The Lowe’s Foods near us actually has a very good selection of Twinings from what I remember. I am hoping to visit A Southern Season soon, so I can check there too. :)

sounds yummy! I need to finally visit A Southern Season one of these days too (but not until I’ve drank down more tea!)

Definitely don’t go until you’re in need of lots of new teas – I always buy way too much every time I go. Love Southern Season!

Bio

Just a Southern girl who loves sunshine, little dogs and all things tea!

I love animals and animal rescue. We have a rescued Chihuahua, Greyhound, Siamese and 2 Tabbies. We also foster kittens for the local humane society.

My favorite teas are sweet and malty black teas but I try to branch out and taste them all. :)
