Not my favorite ginseng blend. They could have done just a simple Ginseng and Rooibos blend, but they had to add apples, oranges and a bunch of other junk to make it appeal to the kool-aid palette. Wish I hadn’t bought as much of this tea as I did. Mostly a pass.
Thanks to TeaEqualsBliss for sharing this discontinued lovely with me! It’s probably the one rose tea I can really get behind… mostly because of the candied aspect to it. So tasty and it makes such a happy dessert tea for me.
This was sitting in my fridge for a couple of days. Oops. Drinking the second steep iced. I can taste more of the purple flower and rose compared to when the tea hot. Might actually be better iced. Not that it does me any good to discover this now as is it discontinued. Boo.
Well, it’s the candied lilac so there’s a sweeter floral taste that is sweeter than the rose (but just as floral). So I more taste the candy part of the candied lilac than the lilac. But yeah, sweet perfume-y flower. Sweeter than the rose and more… spring-ish?
You know, I’ve been wondering if it’s possible to blend something yourself that’s vaguely similar. For instance I have a very nice Marzipan rooibos aswell as some rose tea that is too floral for me to drink its own.
The candied purple things are actually candied violets :) So yummy! I like to eat ‘em and try to convince the folks at Teavana to fish one out for me from the various teas. :-/ I don’t think they have any teas left with candied violets, tho’.
@Suzi: Oops! Violets then! Some purple flower thing. Hehe. I knew I got lavender and lilac mixed up, now I need to add violet to that list!
This sounds delicious! Does the marzipan flavor come across strongly? I love macadamia nuts, and I could see myself eating them out of the dry tea mix. :\
First, you get a lot for your money. The tea itself consists of the entire chamomile flower, pretty. It has a great flavor and is really calming. Also, because of the mild flavor, I often mix these flowers with other loose leaf teas I have around. Yesterday I tried it with Lavender, awesome!
Today I’m going to use my brand spanking new gym membership for the first time, so I need a little kick to wake me up before I go.
The other big project for the day is planning my itinerary for my trip to Austin next weekend. Zhi Tea’s HQ is on my list (yay!) – anyone have any other places, tea or non-tea-related, to recommend?
