Cancer - The Zodiac Series [DUPLICATE]

I’m craving this again. It is my favorite from the new Zodiac series. For me it has the right balance of green/white tea + the faint taste of apples and mint. I truly enjoy this.

I’ve decided not to rate teas anymore. When I drink tea I like to go with the flow; just experiencing the taste and smell without devising some “objective” grading system: I’m just not very good at that anyway.

I’ve been waiting for this to be back in stock forever! The tin is just lovely and the tea is beautiful, too. I love the colors. The flavor is really nice. It’s light and fruity with hints of chamomile. It’s very relaxing :]

Ugh. My tap water quality is dismal lately. Seriously, I just want one pot of tea today to turn out right.
So I got another addition to my Adagio horoscope collection! I’m still going to peddle the fact that these are a great deal. The tins are pretty, tea is good, and there is a lot of it.
This one though is a little less stellar to me than the others that I have tried. It is a bit fruity and herbal-esque, but nothing really stands out in it. I’m going to play with steep times and leaf amount to see if I can’t tease some more flavor out of this.

Love this tea. It happens to be my “sign” so it was fun to boot. The tin is lovely, and would make a nice gift. And the tea leaves are also very nice to see. A large volume of lush green tea leaves mixed with dried fruit, and chamomile leaves sprinkled in. There is also a scattering of a bright royal blue; I’m not entirely sure what that is, but it really pops.

The tea itself is very smooth, and relaxing. The aroma is super inviting, and the taste is great. I will definitely repurchase this tea when I run out. But the tin is quite voluminous, and you can steep several glasses from one serving, so that will be a while. :)

I prepared as indicated on the tin (temp. and time).

The recommended steeping time was not available with this tea. Steeped the tea for 3 minutes. Tea smelled like old lady perfume and a strong candle. Tastes like nothing. So many competing flavors, but somehow none of them showed up. Tried 10.2018.

This morning was the first morning I had to scrape ice off of my car and I was incredibly cranky about it. I’m not ready to be cold all the time and plus my good ice scraper is who knows where. I was late to work, I forgot a bunch of stuff, and my throat is starting to hurt. Basically, this morning has been garbage. This was the tea I knew I needed to have this morning to deal with that. This is my favorite comforting tea by a mile. It’s got a ton of stuff in it and it’s all balanced. The mint isn’t terribly strong but I feel like it soothes my throat. I don’t know if chamomile is actually calming or if it’s just a placebo effect, but I’ll take it. I also like that it’s got green and white teas in it so it’s not particularly caffeinated; when I’m in the mood for a ton of it the last thing I usually need is a lot of caffeine.

Also, I really like the tin. For some reason the lady with the shell hat and her big pet lobster make me feel less insanely grumpy.
