Taste Test Tuesday: More Teas To Choose From!
I'm always on the look out for new teas to try. What can I say...I like to change it up when I can. When you drink tea a couple of times a day like I do, it's nice to have some new fun flavors to dunk into your cup.
Celestial Seasonings, a well-known tea company based in Boulder Colorado, to the rescue! I tried three of their six new flavors - one that's a sweet herbal blend (Saphara Tropical Rooibos), one that's a white tea with sweet and tangy schizandra berries (Saphara White Tea with Schizandra), and a decaffeinated green tea with sweet mango and ginger (Saphara Mango Ginger Green Tea).
Each morning for the last three mornings I tried one of the new teas. My favorite is the Mango Ginger Green Tea. I love the subtle hints of mango and ginger flavors with the mild green tea flavor as the base. I also really liked the other two flavors. The White Tea with Schizandra Berries would appeal to someone who likes fruity and floral tasting teas. The berry/floral flavor becomes stronger the longer you steep the tea bag, so try a fairly quick steep if you want the berry flavor to be more subtle. The Tropical Rooibos herbal tea tastes as nice as it smells. It is made with a lovely blend of apples, orange peel, ginger, lemongrass, coconut, and spices like cinnamon and cardamom.
If caffeine is a concern, the Tropical and Mango Ginger flavors are decaffeinated and the White Tea with Schizandra contains about 40 milligrams of caffeine per serving.
These teas are environmentally progressive in more ways than one:

Thanks. I checked out the website, and the flavours are CRAZY! I can't wait to try them.. and I hope they ship to Canada or are available there. The dessert flavours sound delicious!
oh :( They do not ship internationally! I guess I'll have to wait.
I have a mexican sweet chili tea made by Tazo that I'm dying to try. I love trying out different kinds of teas.
Sounds like I'm going to be inviting the neighbors over for some high tea!
