I had a bad morning—nothing was going my way, and it’s raining like crazy again. Student activities sponsored a tea bar (free travel mug!) in the student center today, which really made my day. At the suggestion of a friend, I chose this one, and it helped me relax. The rose and spearmint complement the chamomile nicely—I usually don’t care for the herb by itself, unless I am really in the mood for it.
At arranging, I realized I’d made yet another mistake on the assignment I’d just turned in, but I’ve done well in the class otherwise. The chamomile said to shrug it off.

Finally, a mild black tea! Light and fruity, just the way I like my tea. I might like one more flavor to add to it, but I’m not sure yet. Honey might be overkill…

An invigorating, delicious tea that makes a great pick-me-up. The peppermint is not overwhelming, and mixes well with the spices.

Resteeped it, and it still has enough caramel in it. Good when I need a richer, darker sort of sweet, or relaxing without getting sleepy.

Microwaved 2.5 minutes, steeped a couple minutes (don’t remember…) Smelled like a caramel latter while steeping. I can taste the caramel and vanilla pretty equally, and they’re pretty strong compared to the tea itself (I steep everything briefly, because I like milder tea). Out of curiosity, I added a little Coffee-Mate (hey, I don’t always have milk in the fridge), which made it slightly creamier. It mellowed out as I drank it.

Had it at the cafeteria again recently. To someone else’s suggestion, I tried it with a hint of honey. I also put in a packet of Splenda, which was probably overkill. Definitely sweeter this time!

Microwaved on high 2.5 minutes. Steeped for about 4 minutes. Tasted a little bitter, and kind of earthy. Added a hint of sugar, which I couldn’t taste, so I added a bit more. Then I added some milk, enough to turn it cloudy. Added one last bi of sugar, and I think it’s a decent flavor. With the added milk, it’s a pretty mild chai, but I like milder teas. Nice when I just need something warm and soothing to drink.

Since the dorm has no kitchen, I have to use a microwave. Mixed equal parts milk and water. microwaved on high for 2.5 minutes. Too much milk—the spices were barely noticeable

A good balance of flavors. Light and fruity, just the way I like my tea :)
