392 Tasting Notes
This tea is very sweet and thick. I am not really sure why. I feel like it has honey in it, but the ingredients don’t list honey. Regardless I do enjoy it, as I do most chais. It does have a bit of spice too it, but not too much. It pairs well with food. Today I paired it with a Luna Bar.
Preparation
Had a nice cup this last night while watching tv…this is quickly becoming a nightly staple! Glad I grabbed a 100 count box from amazon :)
Preparation
Hi,
Would you consider a swap? I really want to try this, but can’t find it locally, and I am not ready to jump into a 100 bag box. I would love a few, and would gladly offer a few samples from my cupboard in return.
Yeah sure! I know how you feel – I only was able to try this tea via a swap and then I decided I liked it enough to buy the huge box. Send me a PM.
I won the 52 teas 6-week subscription contest (insert happy dance here), and this is the first tea I received! I was excited because this probably wouldn’t have been a tea I would have purchased myself, but it was really quite delicious!
Apple, cinnamon, orange, green tea all the flavors are their without fighting one another. Plus it has this yummy baked quality that I saw other people mention.
I posted a more extensive review on my blog if you want to check it out, but in short- yum!: http://apurpledress.wordpress.com/2011/03/15/52-teas-a-six-part-series/
Preparation
I decided to have some fun with a flowering tea tonight! It was lots of fun. It was also a nice earl grey too. Especially if you are like me and aren’t really into a heavy bergamot flavor.
I posted a full review with pictures and everything on my brand new blog, if you want to check it out!!

Preparation
Sunday morning breakfast tea is soooo much better when I know I don’t have to do homework for the rest of the day! This tea is a delicious, malty and strong. The perfect morning wake up call.
By the way did any else not know it was daylight savings today. Thought I was waking up at 11 and it was actually noon – whoops.
Preparation
I can’t remember when I had this to be honest…a few days ago I think. I have been crazy swamped with school stuff before spring break starts so its been a lot of bagged tea and old staples the past few weeks.
Anyway, the smell of this tea blew me away. It literally smells identical to a chocolate covered strawberry. I doubt I could tell the difference if I did a direct comparison. It smells juicy and delicious. I am always a little wary when a tea has a steep time of under 2 minutes, mostly because I would much rather have an oversteeped tea than an understeeped one. But I was good and followed the instructions and I am glad I did. It came out the perfect combination or strawberry, chocolate, and an earthy flavor that I am assuming is the Puer. It was delicious. This one is gonna have to go on my mental shopping list :)
Preparation
I still need to try my sample of this. Sounds good.
You should definitely try it out. It is quite enjoyable and I am really picky about chocolate flavored tea – haha.
Rachel-it is really good. One of the best chocolate teas I’ve tried!
Alright, you have convinced me. I will try it tomorrow. I am picky about chocolate teas as well. Can’t wait to see how this tastes.
