Black Chocolate Black Tea : Spice & Tea Exchange

If you’re looking for a smooth, black tea. This is a good choice.

This is another one by the Spice and Tea Exchange that is available by the ounce in either a pouch or a tin. https://www.spiceandtea.com/Black-Chocolate-Tea

While it has a smooth taste, the flavor profile reminds me of the Sun Tea I used to drink in my childhood when it didn’t have the right about of sugar in it. I will be honest though, most black teas remind me of Sun Tea. The black tea taste is very strong when compared to the chocolate notes of this tea.

English Breakfast – Ahmad Tea

Good morning, how are you today?

I opted for an old favorite this morning. This is a good tea when you have a lot of things are your mind and need a moment of mental silence.

I’ve had a few English Breakfast Blends over the years. This particular one is from Ahmad Tea of London. It is available as part of a set of teas from Lion Brand Yarns or individually from http://www.ahmadtea.com

It’s a black tea blend that can be drank with or without milk. I prefer it without milk.

Breakfast in Paris – Stash Brand

Breakfast in Paris, from Stash Brand Tea, www.stashtea.com

Ingredients: Blended black teas, lavender, bergamot oil, vanilla extract.

My thoughts:

So I drink all my teas without adding anything to them…atleast the first couple of times I drink them. If you like tart teas, or teas with a bite to them, this is defiantly the tea for you. Personally, I think my next cup will absolutely have some sugar and possibly some milk added to it.

Its not a bad tea, just not one I would keep on hand as a daily drink. If you a fan of the bermot and black tea combo, it is very strong in this tea, I just barely deducted the lavender and vanilla.

As always, I am not being paid to write this.
