I recently placed an order with the Republic of Tea, which is one of my favorite sites. I rarely get a tea from them I don’t love. Recently I have been enjoying their Orange Ginger Mint at a local cafe, and I wanted a stash for my desk. From the website, Orange Ginger Mint contains… Continue reading Drink Me: Republic of Tea, Orange Ginger Mint
Another tea I picked up on sale in my last order from Teavana was the Mulled Pomegranate Cider. I have a feeling this was a holiday tea, but it’s still cold here in January and February, and I thought I might enjoy it. Mulled Pomegranate Cider contains cinnamon, apple pieces, hibiscus flowers, carob bits, ginger,… Continue reading Drink Me: Teavana, Mulled Pomegranate Cider
Last year for my birthday I received a gift card to Teavana from a generous co-worker. I’d been sitting on it for a while, trying to decide what to order. A few weeks ago I got an email advertising a sale on quite a few teas so I decided to bite the bullet and order… Continue reading Drink Me: Teavana, Oprah Chai
When I podcasted earlier this month with my friend Liz, she surprised me by giving me some tea from a tea shop semi-local to her in St. Joseph, Missouri – Simply Tea. She brought me a delightful sample of Christmas Tea (and this will be the last gasp of the holiday season!) Christmas Tea contains… Continue reading Drink Me: Simply Tea, Christmas Tea

Today I decided to try Ginger’s Oolong from Harney & Sons. I really tend to like oolongs because they offer the best of darker teas, while still being smooth and a bit less bitter. From the website: ginger is added to a peachy Formosa oolong. Ginger’s Oolong is available in a variety of sizes: sample… Continue reading Drink Me: Harney & Sons, Ginger’s Oolong
The final tea that I ordered from Teavana a few weeks ago was Spiced Mandarin Oolong. I have a soft spot for orange teas. One of my favorite bagged teas was Tazo’s Wild Sweet Orange before they changed the blend. This blend contains dark Oolong tea, cinnamon, hibiscus flowers, apple bits, carob bits, ginger, orange… Continue reading Drink Me: Teavana, Spiced Mandarin Oolong

Pumpkin Spice Brulée contains cinnamon, white chocolate pieces, pumpkin pieces, chocolate flakes, carob pieces,… Continue reading Drink Me: Teavana, Pumpkin Spice Brulée
