Random Teabag Sipdown

I took a handful of random teabags with me over the weekend so I could work on a few sipdowns, I’m just a little behind posting the actual tasting notes. This is the last of the tea bag sampler pack I bought from Rishi for my birthday. I’ve been saving it for a day when I needed something relaxing and after visiting with family all weekend this sure fit the bill.

On its own, I’m not really a fan of Chamomile, but I do love it when it is blended with other things. Since this is called Chamomile Medley I wasn’t really expecting the main flavor of this blend to be lemon, but looking at the ingredients it contains lemon myrtle and lemongrass. I’m not a huge fan of either, in fact I generally dislike all things citrus, so it was surprising how much I really liked this. I think it could use a dash of honey to sweeten it up, but I don’t have any with me.

This wasn’t really what I was looking for, but I do think it will be a nice tea for when I’m sick. I’ll have to pick some up next time I reorder from Rishi, which should be any time now since I’m down to my last few Tablespoons from my last order.

Bio

I am always interested in swapping so if you see anything in my cupboard that you want to try just send me a message. Please keep in mind that I order most of my teas in sample sizes and may not have a lot to swap. I’m also trying to keep my swaps limited to one a month so I don’t break the bank.

My favorite tea companies to order from are American Tea Room, Rishi, TeaVivre, and Single Origin Teas, however I am constantly lured away from my favorites by a good sale.

Ingredients I love in tea
rose, peach, oolong, osmanthus, vanilla, marshmallow root and peppermint

Ingredients I dislike in tea:
spearmint, chocolate, orange, hibiscus, sage and for the most part lemon.

I am a firm believer that sage only belongs in my thanksgiving stuffing/dressing and absolutely not in my tea.

Allergies
Cinnamon, Chocolate, Burdock Root, and Goji Berries

Teawares:
FORLIFE Curve Teapot, 24oz
Adagio ingenuiTEA, 16oz
Adagio Iced ingenuiTEA, 32oz
Zojirushi Water Pot, 4L
Libbey Country Fair drinking jars for ice tea
TeaVivre Travel Gaiwan

Rating Guidelines:

100 – 90: Pantry essential and some of my all time favorites that I can’t live without.

89 – 80: You’ll have a pretty good chance of finding this is my pantry on a regular basis, but it isn’t the end of the world if I run out.

79 – 70: I might consider restocking this at some point if the price was right.

69 – 40: Not undrinkable, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy it again.

39 – 20: What in the world were they thinking? Probably still finished this just because I hate to waste anything.

19 – 0: Wow, that’s so terrible chances are pretty good I dumped it out and gave away the rest.

My current top five favorite teas:

China Black – Rishi Tea
Earl Grey Cream – Zen Tea
Lemoncello – American Tea Room
Nonpareil Anxi Qing Xiang TieGuanYin Oolong – TeaVivre
White Tea Rose Mélange – Rishi Tea
