Well my taste buds must be off because I am trying this tea that Roswell Strange so generously shared and I am tasting Tetley’s Orange Pekoe tea. That can’t be right. It even smells like the Tetley tea to me. No vanilla in this cup anywhere. This is really quite strange. Oh well, perhaps I will have better luck in the future. Luckily I have at least one more cup in the sample to try and get this one right. Thank you Roswell Strange for sharing :)

I’m not a huge fan of this one, myself. But I get slightly more of the vanilla when I add in a teeny bit of sugar and milk. I really love Tea Desire’s guest service and I think they do a phenominal job with fruit blends/rooibos/mate – but I haven’t found a single black tea by them that I’d want to keep stocked.
It is always sort of upsetting when you need to add something to a tea to bring out certain flavors – I shall try some Truvia but at least now I know that this is not really something I would want to order in the future
Agreed – the extra stuff like milk or Truvia should be used to enhance an already good tea. If a tea needs something added to be drinkable then it’s not a good tea :/ This is definitely a blend I’m not buying again, though. There are so many better Tea Desire blends (still looking for a good black one, though).
I’m really loving their White Angel, and a few of their flavored pu-erh’s are also fantastic. I’ve stayed away from their blacks mostly too, although I do have a few. Just okay, so far.
Just looked that one up – sounds really interesting. Their green blends have been pretty 50/50 for me. Right now, I keep Chai Apricot and Asia Cocktail stocked – and I have a bunch of unwanted Japanese Cherry Blossoms (really didn’t like that one, even though it smells awesome). I’m debating trying Oreo Cookie finally; I’ve been putting it off because I strongly dislike oreos but my favourite sales lady said she can only taste dates when she has it. I love dates, so maybe I’ll give it a shot…
Rosewell, I’m pretty sure I have some here and can send it to you.
I appreciate the offer, but that’s ok – I’ll just buy it as a Tea to Go from my local store and determine whether I want to buy more based on that. No reason for you to shell out the money for shipping :) It’s pretty convenient for my to get ahold of it.
Oh, of course! Silly me.
