THIS TEA may have just made me a Tealish convert!

I double steeped 2.5tsp of leaves yesterday. The first brew I threw into my thermos hot, and the second I iced in my travel cup.

When I got to work, I busted open the cold tea first. O-M-G….it was so beautiful. It has a nice full mint flavour the floods and cools your mouth, with the soft lavender floral. This as an iced tea is beyond refreshing. And don’t forget this was the second steep! SO much flavour for a second steep!

On my break, I got out the thermos. I opened it up and sniffed cautiously. I loved it cold. What if I didn’t like it hot? It would be such a waste of tea.

There was a little bit of ice left in the bottom of my travel cup, so I poured in a bit of the hot and sipped it back as soon as the ice melted.

Then I gave into the hot. The hot is still in the very good category.
But iced, it’s phenomenal. Toss out those damn wishy washy fruity iced teas that taste like watered down koolaide right now, and jump into THIS!

As soon as I got back to my desk I e-mailed my husband to ask him to stop at Indigo to pick up more :D

Tea literally gets me through the day. I start with something caffeinated in the morning, then usually a re-steep or less caffeinated tea mid morning and work my way to a herbal by night.

Green tea and oolong are top in my books. I recently discovered that I LOVE genmaicha – but I get why it’s not for everyone. My favourite flavours right now are lime, lavender and mint. I tend to dislike teas that have raisins or hibiscus, and I’m not fond of weak fruit infusions.

A lot of my teas come from Davidstea. I also have some Teavana and Tealish. When I can, I try to pick up unique teas. My most prized tea is a tea from Ste Anne’s Spa in Grafton, Ont called Cinnamon Glow.
