Day 18 of Sara’s Old Tea! Part 1 of 6?

So, for Day 18, Sara gave me:
Pukka Tulsi Clarity
Pukka Licorice & Cinnamon
Trader Joe’s Moroccan Mint Tea
(these three are teas I’ve sent her)
Tazo Glazed Lemon Loaf
Stash Cinnamon Apple
(I think these were both herbals we got on vacation to the Oregon coast)
Simple Truth Organic Mint Blend Herbal Tea
(I don’t recognize this one)

I poured 12 oz of boiling water over the bag and left it in till it cooled off enough for me to drink it. Mmm, there’s that familiar peppery tulsi and some kind of minty note. Simple and tasty. My cat Rory keeps sniffing my mug though. I don’t think I should give him any.

There’s no catnip in here, only three different varieties of tulsi. I can taste something like chamomile in it too.

Flavors: Mint, Pepper, Tulsi

Preparation
Boiling 8 min or more 1 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

I brought the Glazed Lemon Loaf to the Oregon Coast and I’m pretty sure you asked for a cup. I didn’t get it on vacation there, I tend to keep that one in my cupboard because I like it a lot, one of my bagged tea favs. I don’t think I had Stash Cinnamon Apple on hand then, which is another of my bagged tea favs… I’ve been drinking that one a ton over the winter though and just finished my box. I normally drink that one double-bagged because we know what a hibiscus fiend I am. :-) I have a big pitcher of the Moroccan Mint in the fridge right now. The Mint Blend is the one that I finally found that “replaced” the one that Trader Joe’s discontinued, it’s my favorite mint tea thus far. And I haven’t tried the Pukka teas yet, but I thought you might want to sample them, I have plenty of bags!

Chiya likes to sniff my teacups too… but then, she likes to sniff anything I’m putting in my mouth in hopes it is something she can eat too, hahaha.

I guess I was trying to see a pattern, LOL. Instead of “let’s see how many bags will fit in this big Advent drawer!”

Mastress Alita

There is a pattern! They are all teabags, and all herbal! (And actually not as old as some of the other teas, hahaha)

Mastress Alita

Oh, I guess the Moroccan Mint isn’t herbal. Okay, I guess your pattern is the correct one.

Todd

I did notice that most are herbal!

I have enjoyed various teas most of my life, but have recently started exploring higher-end teas. Still, plain houjicha (loose-leaf or bagged) makes me feel like I’m in Japan.
