carol who drank Fig Rose by Teavana

467 tasting notes

Back to a favorite tea. Sometimes I get so into trying all the samples/swaps that I forget that to go back to my favorites. After a less than successful peach tea a few minutes ago (went down the drain ;-p) I brewed up a favorite cuppa! The fig in this tea almost makes me swoon! I love Fig Newtons but do you know how many calories are in a Fig Newton. 100 cal in two cookies for the low fat. Well it doesn’t sound too bad until you think about how many you would actually eat. I’d start off like a good girl and just eat 2 … then later in the day a couple more, then late at night before bed, another couple. The tea is a much better choice! This tea is too sweet for every day but when I am in need of a comfort tea, this is it!

Flavors: Fig

I agree that its hard to only eat two fig newtons! This does sound like a good alternative. :)

Profile

Bio

Retired first grade teacher. I tend to like dessert type/herbal teas as a substitute for sweet treats; flavored black teas and mates to get that energy that I am often lacking ;-p
My husband of 43 years thinks I’m nuts regarding the whole tea thing… but he bought me a Breville for Christmas, so what can I say. :-D
My other interests are reading (books go well with tea :D) and beading. I volunteer at my “old” school teaching reading and I volunteer for the blind. I am trying hard to lose weight ( I have now lost 40 lbs and I’m looking good in my skinny jeans, IMHO) I am now walking about 4.5 miles a day and I am trying to do some core work for about 30 min. 3x a week.

I have been watching Doctor Who for 33years. In case you can’t tell my avatar is two daleks drinking tea! I am always open to swapping Doctor Who books for tea. I have about 120 Doctor Who books that I am eager to send some to a fan. :D Let me know if you would like any books! I love that so many people have begun watching DW!

Also I love swaps, pm me if you’d like to do a swap.

Since I find others’ rating legends helpful, I added my own.

95-100 A once in a lifetime experience; the best there is; will keep this stocked until the cows come home

90-94 First rate; top notch; really terrific; will definitely buy more

80-89 Excellent; likely to become a favorite, will likely buy more

70-79 Very good; would enjoy again, might buy again if in the mood for this particular one or a better, similar version not available or it’s on a really good sale :-)

50-69 Good; wouldn’t pass up if offered, but probably wouldn’t buy again unless craving this particular flavor

Below 50 Meh! Wouldn’t bother drinking it again.
