This is my very first chicory…and blech. Not my cuppa. At all. Looking at the title, lemon and ginger, mmm… I like both of those flavors, so together it must taste delicious! I even enjoyed the smell…..and the taste is just veryyyy concentrated version of the smell.. not sure why I didn’t like it…but it ended up going down the drain :’( For a herbal tea, it brews so incredibly dark…strange. Might try this again someday with only steeping the littlest bit of leaves..

This was my first corn silk tea, and I have to say, it is incredibly delicious!!^.^ Mmmm… it tastes and smells almost exactly like unbuttered popcorn! It seems a bit odd to like a tea that is essentially liquid popcorn, but it is strangely addictive. Mmmm. Found a new, interesting herbal to keep around in my tea stash. Yum, yum!

This tea reminds me a lottt of Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice. The cinnamon flavor of this one is less intense and the sweetness from the orange is a little bit stronger. Like Red Hots without the sting. Mmm. As much as I do really enjoy a strong, spicy cinnamon note, this sweeter version is delicious as well. This tea is naturally sweet without sweetener. With this tea available so close (Pike’s Place Market! ) and it’s delicious taste, it will probably be one of my newest staples:] Yum.

Thanks to the lovely Ost I got to try my very first Harney & Sons tea…as well as join all the Steepsters in giving such a great man a well earned tribute! :]

Wow, I can see why H&S has such a following. I’ve been looking at their site for ages and just haven’t gotten myself to purchase from all their yummy-looking teas.. but this has definitely put me over the edge! .

The best word that I can come up with to describe this tea is “zippy.”! haha…like the little red hots candies. mmm, talk about a flavor explosion! I love this cup of tea right now, but I could see it being extra perfect during the fall and winter! Something about this tea evokes images of autumn leaves and bunnies hopping through the snow. Just lovely.

The smell of this tea is absolutely amazing… spiced like the scent of a cozy, little cottage. tehehe..silly description, but that’s what it is! :] The flavor is a bit more spice than it is honey, but it is delicious nonetheless. It’s a little bit on the lighter side as far as flavor goes, but the aftertaste is stronger. Generally the aftertaste of teas can fall a little flat for me, but this one has the spice and the honey intermingling in a lovely manner. This tea has transitioned me from a hectic day of people to comfy and cozy cuddling up to a nice book. :]

This was my first milk oolong. Not going to lie, I was a bit skeptical at being able to taste a natural milk flavor… but wow. The creamy milky flavor is indisputable. mmmm^.^ Yes, this is a lovely, milky tea. There was a bit of floral and vegetal taste but it was only a shadow to the creamy buttery goodness. Halfway through the cup, I had to break out a bowl of Cheerios because the milky flavor was too good to resist. This tea is wonderful.

This was my final sample from Teavivre! And thank you so much for advancing my tea education^.^..an order will definitely be coming through in the near future.

Watching the FIFA World Cup gives me the perfect opportunity to sit down and cuddle up to warm cups of lovely tea. Plus, I love the commercials on the Spanish channel… they are much more humorous than American commercials. .

Drinking this alongside the Monkey Picked Oolong also by Teavivre.

This tea has beautiful tea leaves with white tips… it’s gorgeous and looks nothing like other oolongs that I have had before.
This tea has a much stronger roasted flavor than the Monkey picked oolong. It isn’t too green or grassy but it does have a slight floral taste to it. I love the natural accent of honey in the background.. it really pulls together the flavors for me. It’s really smooth and just gets better and creamier with each successive resteep.

Thank you, Teavivre!

Man did these tea leaves dance… and boy it was beautiful! They unwhirled and uncurled so beautifully as if dancing to an elegant ballet. The steep liquor smelled super roasted and a bit vegetal and buttery. Sip after sip, the butteriness, nuttiness, and creaminess tantalized my taste buds even more. Much to my delight, the roasted flavor did not take over the whole cup and merely complimented all the other flavors. What a lovely tea.
I’m not always in the mood for an oolong, but this one is definitely a comforting one. Delicious!

Thank you, again, Teavivre for this sample. Mmmm.

Wow, thank you Teavivre for sending this sample to me! This tea is wonderful.

Thank you Angel from Teavivre for this lovely sample—and all the others!^.^

Yesterday was Pseudo-Father’s day as we had my brother’s college graduation today. My boyfriend and I made homemade ravioli for my papa-italian sausage and cheese or just cheese. It was delicious and everyone left stuffed. And today my brother graduated from college-he’s too amazing:] But I some how managed to sneak my traveling tea cup into the arena…my mom got her water taken away..and my sister got her pretzels taken away…haha..guess I just wasn’t suspicious enough to search—oh, the joys of not caring around a purse:P Anyways, I drank this tea during the ceremony…and I’m glad I did-it’s crisp, clean and refreshing.

It has a stronger taste of lemon with a crisp apple aftertaste-very clean tasting. You get a bit of tartness, that I really enjoy…but I did add a touch of sweetener. It has a lovely mix of fragrant and brightly colored dried fruits with just a sprinkling of pale green leaves. Very nice mixing. Mine was not on the light flavor side of the spectrum at all, it was brimming with flavor and brought a smile to my face. I bet it would be delicious iced.
