Tea of the Week for April 29, 2019!
Featured Reblend/Retro Monday Tea!
For those of you who have been with me since my LiberTEAS days, you may recall the green tea and herbal blend that I had called Potpourri. It was a blend of gunpowder green tea, lemon myrtle, laurel, rose buds and petals and jasmine. It smelled amazing and tasted as good as it smelled – which is why I called it Potpourri.
When I was considering the five teas that I’d create for the Game of Thrones themed box, my original plan was to craft five new and unique flavors, but one night, I was thinking back to my LiberTEAS days and I recalled my Potpourri tea and thought – “HEY! Potpourri would make a fantastic tribute to Highgarden, home of a couple of my favorite characters!” (Yes, I have quite a few favorite characters!)
So I decided to reblend Potpourri and rename it Highgarden. And I tweaked it ever so slightly by adding dried lemon wedges to the other ingredients. In addition to tasting and smelling amazing, this blend is one of the most visually stunning teas I’ve ever crafted. It is a sensory delight – and one that is perfect for late spring and early summer (now) – because it tastes so beautifully fresh.
And yes! It’s all organic – as well as gluten-free, allergen-free and VEGAN!
organic ingredients: green tea, lemon myrtle, laurel, jasmine, rose buds/petals, dried lemons & natural flavors

Margaret's Fine ImportsI think this is the first of the GoT teas I’m reviewing? It was a fun month to subscribe to, and I’m looking forward to drinking the teas while watching the remaining episodes (we are cheap and added HBO to our cable package for May only, specifically to watch GoT, but have only watched the first episode so far).
This tea is very much lemon. Pleasant, bright lemon, though, but I found it almost a bit too strong. I believe I also oversteeped this when I brewed it, so I think I need to give it another shot with less leaf and a strict 2 minute infusion. I also was a bit sad that I wasn’t picking up more on the jasmine (I couldn’t care less about the rose, though, which was also hidden to me). Overall, not my favourite, but I’m interested to try it again. It was fine to drink brewed how I did, so it can only be better when brewed more carefully, I’m thinking!
This is our Retro Monday/Featured Reblend for April . . . it’s my tea (a LIberTEAS blend) formerly known as Potpourri – https://steepster.com/teas/liber-teas/6465-potpourri – that I’ve renamed Highgarden green tea because I felt that it would be a perfect tea to represent the Tyrell house!
This tastes every bit as lovely as I remember it. It is also as visually appealing as well as aromatic as I remember it.
The flavor is softly lemon with earthy notes, hints of nutty sweetness, sweet floral tones and an herbaceous undertone. It’s really quite lovely. I love it served hot but I’ve found out that I love this even more as an iced tea! It’s so unique and refreshing.
