Big thank you to Tina S for sharing!! I’m so glad I had a chance to try this.
So… the good news is that I saw my naturopath the other day and she thinks that once I get my health issues under control, this darned flavoured tea sensitivity I seem to have should subside. I really hope so :)
The bad news is that I could feel even this tea, with such minimal added “flavouring” getting at my allergy. Gah! 90% of the additives here are things I can easily handle. It’s the extracts and such that get me…
Anyhow, the tea.
It’s a nice tea, light on the orange but blending right in with the Ceylon OP. There is that same creamy orange aspect here as well… the one that I suspect I’d enjoy immensely if it weren’t for complicating factors!
Oh and it was pretty darn sweet, considering I didn’t add any sugar. I assumed that I would need to but when I took a test sip, found that it wasn’t necessary at all.
For anyone that enjoys mellow (but not distant) orange in their tea, I highly recommend this!!

If you don’t mind my asking, what are you allergic to?
I don’t mind :)
So far, Bergamot, Jasmine, and Vanilla extracts. There are others but I’ve yet to pinpoint them. It only seems to apply with tea or coffee. When cooked, I have no issues with Vanilla!
..Yikes, that seems like it would limit your tea options significantly. Man, I grew up on Earl Grey, I’d be terribly sad to develop a bergamot allergy.
oh I’ve never been able to enjoy an EG… it’s always tasted like dirty socks. I wish I could enjoy it but there are plenty of others I can have :)
Dirty socks! Haha, I can actually see that, despite liking Earl Grey, although I couldn’t tell you why.
heh, don’t ask me how I know what dirty socks taste like. Well have cup of the Earl for me and try not to think of laundry :P
