Small Big Traveling Tea Box

After reading that Skysamuri was picking some of this tea up in her pitstop in New York and finding it in the TTB, I couldn’t help but to try it!

This tea is juicy.. like biting into soft ripe mangoes as the sugar goodness drips down your face juicy. I love the notes of vanilla and orange. Yes, this tea is so good. The chamomile wasn’t too strong— in fact, I quite enjoyed it. Yum.

Edit: this tea is definitely better hot/warm. The more it cools, the more flavor it seems to lose.

I really am a fan of hot cinnamon teas. There is something about them that is just so incredibly cozy and perfect. Usually, the hotter (spicier) they are the better. This tea is definitely a change of pace from that. Instead of being super hot like I expected, it is actually quite sweet. And I really liked it. The cup was full of flavor and that held up resteep after resteep.

This tea is quite delicious!^.^ On a cloudy day like today, this tea is perfect. Smooth and lemony. The more the tea cools, the stronger the flavor. I’m really quite impressed with Island Rose, they did a nice job with this cup :] No wonder the sun isn’t in the sky, it’s in my cup! :]

With a name like precious eyebrows, how could I not try this tea? :P I mean, all I can think of while preparing this tea is a man sitting in a rocking chair softly stroking his eyebrows and muttering to them how gorgeous they are…tehehe:P Oh, man:P

This tea really could be better. It tastes only slightly grassy like you would expect but the rest is really quite astringent..for some reason the after tastes is a metallic and reminds me of how I would imagine sucking on a steel pole or a penny would taste. I’ll let the man in the rocking chair have his eyebrows back now:P

Just going off of the name… I really didn’t think that I would like it.. but this tea is actually quite delicious! . At first I get a surge of spices that steadily cool into a creamy sweetness. I don’t know if I would call it licorice tasting, more of a smooth cream than anything. Hmm…perhaps the strong licorice flavor has faded a bit? shug Either way, I am really enjoying this cozy cup:]

Edit: The warmer the liquor is, the more I enjoy this cup. As it cools, it appears to have less flavor.. still delicious but hot is the way to go with this one:]

Hike. Tea. Video Games. Neuro. Ahhh, it sure is a gloriously relaxing day today.. I’m finishing off this TTB today so it can be shipped out for other adventures:D

I think this is my first tea blend from Adagio:D I can very much so taste their strawberry tea in here… it is quite tart. But besides that, I love how the spices tickle your tongue until it fades into the strawberry flavor. The combination of the chai with the strawberry is done well and I like this cup much more with a dash of sweetener :]

After my last superly amazing creamsicle-esque cup from Della Terra, this tea has to just floor me to make much of an impression (but after their La Pina Colada blew my socks off, I know it has a fair chance!) Plus, I have to try them back to back in a taste-off :D

This tea is alright. A bit more rooibos and honeybush than orange or cream:P I can taste the orange coming through more towards the end and it tastes like orange soda pop more than anything else.

Oh la la… You guys, this tea is so darn delicious. I almost felt the urge to scoff at the ice cream man as his musical sugar van paraded by because this cup is better than what he could have given me:P “Yummy in my tummy!” content belly pats :D ← yep, I have just reverted back to the phrase I used to use all the time as a kid when something was just so so good.. This tastes like orange ice cream with the creaminess teasing my taste buds at the end of the sip.

Now, please excuse me as I dance about the house with my cup of happiness :D

As a child, baseball games, fairs, and parades always meant one thing for me-cotton candy. It was so delicious and satisfying to my little tastebuds, I really couldn’t get enough. Usually when a family member went to an event without me and they found cotton candy there, they would bring me back a bag or tub. It was glorious!^.^So now I was hoping to relive my childhood, at least a little bit.

At the very least, this tea is quite adorable!^.^ It has flecks of colorful sugary goodness-much like the dregs left in the bottom of a cotton candy bag. Also, it smells really quite magnificent. The cup tastes very much like a rooibos tea with afterthoughts of sugar and vanilla. Luckily, I do rather enjoy the flavor of Della Terra’s rooibos base, but it is not hitting home with the idea of fairy floss.

Now, I’m dying to try 52teas cotton candy blends (both black and white). Just read a ton of reviews on those and apparently it is done much better. Why must they be out?! :O

I don’t know why, but caffeine makes me sleepy. I can drink boat loads of herbal and rooibos teas and be peppy all day… but as soon as I drink any caffeinated teas, I get so sleepy… I think I’m broken, but that’s alright:P

The cinnamon and cloves in this tea are very light. The pumpkin in this tea is really quite smooth with a warming sensation. The ginger in here is mild to slightly bland. The tea smells much better than it actually tastes (it smells like someone is baking a pumpkin pie downstairs^.^) but it is still a pleasant tea.
