Cuppa'T Specialty Teas

Sipdown for now. This is on my permanent restock list so it won’t be out of my cupboard for long. I love this tea.

I am happy to have this back in my cupboard, it has a permanent spot there!
On Sundays I like to make lattes. I am not sure if I have had this one as a latte before or not, so I went for it today. It was kind of like a London Fog but not quite because this earl has a caramel note in it. And I don’t have vanilla syrup. Anyway, I added a tiny smudge of brown sugar just for the heck of it. This was delicious.

Delicious this morning. Just what I needed to kick start my day.
The caramel is stronger today than usual. Which is delectable!

I re-stocked this tea before I even took it out of my “cupboard”! I guess I forgot when I sipped down my last bit awhile ago. Oh well, I will likely always have this in my cupboard anyway.
It tastes a little less caramel than usual today for some reason. But still so comforting on a cold winters day.

Beautiful creamy cuppa of this gem yesterday morning.

Went to the farmers market today and had tea infused ice cream …. A-MAZ-ING! That is all

This is one of my favs and definitely a cupboard staple.
I think I have to increase the rating because I just love the subtle earl grey with the sweetness of the caramel.

Just what I needed this morning to kick start my day! I needed something creamy and smooth. And delicious as usual

Mmmm, one of my favs being re-visited on this relaxing day off. Dreamy and creamy with that wonderful earl grey aroma and taste. Delicious!

So delicious and creamy (of course!). I was really suprised at how creamy this tea was! The best earl grey out there for sure!
It smells delicious as well. Smelling those jars is so much fun!

I mixed my last cup of this with some “strawberry cream” from zen tea and it was delicious.

Mmm, I wanted chocolate for breakfast this morning but I don’t have any chocolate in the house……lol and I shouldn’t actually have chocolate in the morning anyway. This tea did the trick!

Mmm so glad to have this one back in my cupboard. I actually re-stocked my tin of this in November but for some reason, I am only getting around to drinking it now. I guess I forgot about it :(. It is sweet (but not too sweet) and creamy. It is a darker chocolate, which I really enjoy.

Oh yum, I finally restocked this and I’m so glad that I did. I made this as a weekend latte treat and it was delicious, creamy, and chocolate.

I finished this one off last night. So delicious and chocolate with just that tiny tad of macademia nuttiness. Even though I try not to have additions in tea, a tiny splash of milk in this tea enhances the flavour like crazy! This has been my weekend treat!

On the weekends, I allow myself a good chocolate tea either with a splash of milk or as a latte. Some of my favs are this one, fireside s’mores (teaopia), or read my lips (David’s).

So yummy, just like a good hot chocolate. I haven’t tried it as a latte yet, but I am sure it would be wonderful.
Definitely curbs the sweet tooth!

This was my first taste of a Yerba Mate. When I bought it, the store offered a ‘plain’ Yerba Mate and a fruity Yerba Mate. I decided to go with the ‘plain’ version to get a better feel of the flavour. I wasn’t really sure what to expect. The Mate I tried was quite green, and had a very pleasant fresh green smell. I meant to brew it for about 10 minutes for my first attempt, but I got distracted by a phone call and it sat for about 15 minutes. I took my first sip rather tentatively, fully expecting not to like it (not sure why…I think because the only thing I had heard about it was about the health benefits and the ‘buzz’), but it was actually really good! I was surprise how much it tasted like green tea…but without any of the bitterness I would have expected from a green tea that had been sitting for 15 minutes. It’s like a green tea for people that are too lazy to time their tea :-) I will definitely have this again, and perhaps I’ll try some other varieties.
