Trader Joe's

Tea of the evening…..

Actually, I am not sure it is this one or Candy Cane Lane from Celestial. They are pretty much interchangeable, and match up exactly ingredient wise. This was the tea that started the tea obsession in my adult life. When they were out of it for the season at Trader Joe’s, I researched by ingredient list which lead me to Candy Cane Lane. (I am guessing that Celestial repackages for Trader Joe’s.) It is funny that they were sampling this out at TJ’s today, and made me decide to drink this one for this evening.

Lightly mint, with a touch of vanilla or something close….. still probably my favorite green, but I am learning to branch out.

4 bags in a 24 oz pot. 185 water for 3 minutes.

My tea of the evening. I am feeling a little under the weather….allergies and general yuck. The mint in this one is great for settling my tummy. I also find this tea identical to Celestial Seasoning’s Cany Cane Lane. For a bagged tea, this is pretty good.

24 oz teapot, 3 bags, freshly heated water (I have a new electric kettle…bliss!), 4 minutes. Lightly sweetened.

One of my favorite teas to brew. This is a specialty tea, Green tea bagged. It is mild and tasty; a delightful cup of Green tea and one can’t help but to think of health benefits found in Green teas.

Reminds me of the Irish saying “tea so strong you could trot a mouse on it.” Watch the steeping time as it can get bitter quickly. I found it a bit too strong, strong for even Irish Breakfast, but my Irish born father liked it a lot. Not bad.

this is one of my favorite teas. flowery, chaiey, spicey. lots of yummy flavors but not a heavy or dark. nice with milk and honey too, if you like. i usually drink it without. oh and its caffeine free.

I really hope this is decaf…

I agree with all the other notes, this is an easy, go-to peppermint tea. Good flavor and smell. Sometimes I leave the tea bag in forever and it doesn’t really over steep. Quick brew for a before bedtime drink.

Best to let the water cool for a few seconds before steeping the tea – otherwise it gets bitters. Good jasmine tea for quick, no fuss brewing. It’s a light, floral jasmine with mild flavor.

A great morning or pick me up tea – definitely great for rainy days and reading. I really like the lighter, citrus flavor. A quick, easy to brew tea.

This is good for when I’m running late and don’t have time to go looseleaf. With Milk and honey, it’s noms.

I wanted to like this, but it really didn’t cut it for me. Too…tangy? I tried adding it to an iced blend and it didn’t help, so I gave it away to a friend who’s a bigger fan of bagged tea and pomegranates than I am.

Pleasant Lemon scent and flavor.

Made the mistake of adding whole milk one time, ack, never again. So much better black.

I generally like a stronger tea for breakfast and English breakfast sometimes seems weak to me. Some Irish breakfasts, like Stash, have a bit of a note that I like. This Irish breakfast is strong like others but without that top note. Like someone else said it is good for my morning buzz and a step above grocery store teas. I left the bag in the pot and the tea did not change over time.

I got to go to Trader Joe’s for the first time on Saturday and I picked up a bottle of this iced tea. It is really delicious. It has a nice blueberry flavor upfront with a grassy green tea finish. I really like home much you can taste the blueberry in this tea, but it isn’t sour at all. I am pretty sure that is due to the lack of hibiscus in this tea which I am grateful for. Quite a yummy bottled iced tea!

it’s like a lighter, more refreshing, more easily drinkable version of earl grey. it’s become my morning staple!

Lovely with Belgian waffles (vegan) and homemade faux nutella.

I like Earl Grey, I like Lady Grey, so why wouldn’t I like the Duchess?

Yes, indeed, I do like Duchess Grey very much! More lemony than Twinings Lady Grey, but I like that for a bit of a change.

It says that I’ve only drank this tea twice, which must be a lie since I only have one bag left! I love this tea. It’s the perfect combination of sweet fruit and malty black tea. And given the price point, I think it’s pretty comparable to Republic of Tea’s Mango Ceylon, which in my opinion is downright amazing. Maybe I just really like mango…
