First tea I’ve tried from this company (Remedy Tea in Philadelphia, not to be confused with Remedy Teas in Seattle), and I’m impressed. Really nice flavour—the spices are subtle but it all blends really well—and it smells absolutely amazing. I almost get a walnut-y aftertaste. I might brew a little longer next time.

Normally I am really not a fan of Celestial Seasonings teas, but this is one of the few blends of theirs that I like (and I like it a lot). I always buy a couple of boxes every holiday season and use them throughout the year. I am a bit disappointed in how the blend has changed through the years. The flavours are more bland than they used to be when I started buying it, but it’s still good enough for me to drink consistently.

This is definitely my favourite Bigelow tea, by far! I really love the blend of spices and it smells fantastic. I don’t think it tastes like eggnog, but the spices make it reminicent of it, for sure. I am down to my last 2 teabags in the box—I’ll defnitely miss this one. Hopefully I’ll find it again next holiday season! I had to buy it on vacation in VT… I never found it here in Colorado.

Still not quite sure about this one. The white tea is obviously very mild but the chai spices are pretty strong so it’s kind of an odd combination. Black tea works much better with spices like these.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by this line by Bigelow. I am not a huge vanilla fan in general, but I like this blend and have gone through a few boxes of it. Good with a little bit of milk or without (I usually go without). Smells incredible too!

Yay, Friday!

My sister bought this for me & it’s really different. The spearmint really mellows the black tea. I can’t taste the chocolate at all but there are little chocolate chips in there!
can’t wait until their online store opens! They do mail order though: remedyteas.com

I think I’m on my third tin of this tea at this point. This was the very first Zhena’s blend I tried and still my favourite! I wish the bags were a little fuller, but the skimpy teabags are pretty typical for American-made tea.

Love this—doesn’t really taste like cookies to me, but the flavours are great & it’s one of my fave. blends! I keep forgetting to try it with a little milk. Smells incredible too!

This is my weekly Friday treat! I like mine with nonfat milk.
