I had surprise mail from gmathis yesterday and it contained a generous sample of this tea! (Where do you get those pouches for the tea? Much nicer than what I use.)
It was drizzly and completely overcast all morning and I got up rather early, so I decided not to wait but to have this for breakfast. I have read on aromatherapy sites that orange and citrus scents are the best for battling depression and lifting mood, and today’s weather is a real mood squasher – although the slight cooling is welcome.Oh my goodness, the dry leaves smell amazing! This was definitely the right choice for today!
The steeped tea smells equally delicious and the taste is reminiscent of Nina’s Fete de Versailles. Bright citrus but not an astringent base tea, all made lightly creamy by a hint of vanilla. This goes on the “gotta find it” list.
Thank you, gmathis!
Well, either our garage sale was a bust (we MAY have cleared $15 after buying the price stickers) or a reasonable success (items not sold have either been delivered to Goodwill or are en route to the mission house at church)—but either way, I am beat.
Furthermore, this is the first day we’ve had actually summery weather (91 on my thermometer) with humidity in the mosquito-and-malaria range. (Don’t laugh, Rosehips—I know that’s not even close to your summer temps :)
Therefore, I don’t care what it is, it just needs to be COLD. However, this is a lovely afternoon treat from the fridge. Basilur threw in vanilla with this tangerine blend, so when it’s chilled, it tastes like a tangerine creamsicle. Delicious!
I used to drink lots of Basilur teas, but I can´t recall having this one :O
We have a chain discount store called Tuesday Morning; it’s like a treasure hunt every time you go. You’ll never find the same stock two weeks in a row. We’ve been lucky to find a different kind of Basilur every visit.
I definitely need to head over to our Tuesday Morning then! I haven’t been in ages but I will go for tea!
I should move to US :D
The Midwest would definitely be a change from your neck of the woods! I often refer to our little corner of Missouri as “the armpit of nowhere.”
Oh, I bet! I would like to see US at least once in my life. And I don´t mean tourist spots and traps.
Martin, I’d give you a trap-free tour of northern California!
gmathis, all your Basilur reviews have me wanting to go to Tuesday Morning for my next teabag run for the house.
All this chit-chat prompted a stop yesterday. Alas, at the moment, none to be had at ours. Your results may vary, however!
derk: thank you for your offer. If it is going to happen, I will try to keep it in mind.
That sounds wonderful! Going to add it to my “gotta find it” list now. hehe
Those little foil pouches were gifted to me, so I don’t have a clue.
Hmm, now I too will put this on my “gotta find it” list. gmathis where does this tea come from?
A little hard to find on shelves; husband ordered my stock from Amazon, or you might check the Basilur website.
Or ask me and I might get it and then I could resend it to the US :)
Not sure if price-worth, though. But I can get most of the Basilur teas :)
Thank you for the offer, Martin! I was able to find it online and plan to order some when (if) I accomplish a little more cupboard clearing. (She says with a Harney order due to arrive today and some Teavivre still in transit…)
Belated sourcing note—I was incorrect. My tins came from a third party seller via walmart.com.
Gmathis – Good to know! We finished it yesterday for breakfast!
