Tea: Slut 4 Orange.

Drinking tea at work today.

The fact that Orange is among my top 5 favorite flavors has nothing to do with this completely unbiased review.

If you want an orange flavored tea that has just a hint of black tea, I highly recommend this one. I do plan on getting this one again in a bigger quantity than a sample size.

It almost reminds me of pekoe tea, but with a much richer flavor profile. That said, the orange flavor is not overpowering at all but rather on the tasteful side of subtle.

The gold luster in the tea is an awesome touch. My co-workers (all guys today), weren’t sure how to react to the sparkles in the tea. I found their reactions to it quite funny.

As for the name of the tea, Friday Afternoon Tea, has an entire line of Slut 4 line. It’s all different fruits, some of which I’m not a fan of, but then I’ve never had them in liquid form, so this should be interesting.

White Silk Earl Grey

Here’s another tea from Friday Afternoon Tea.

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect with this one. It only has 3 ingredients.

The description says it’s a smooth and delicate Earl Grey. I found it to be tangy, though not unpleasant.

Would I buy this again? Probably not, but I would recommend to others that I know would prefer this flavor profile.

This is made with a white tea so it does not have the bite of a typical Earl Gray tea.

Per usual, I did not add anything to the tea.

Today’s Tea : Happy Place

Today’s tea is also from Friday Afternoon Tea. It is part of their Spring and Summer collection.

I wanted something other than an Earl Grey for today’s tea. This particular blend is fruity and uses white tea as is base, rather than a black or green tea as is more common. It does contain 30mg of caffeine per cup.

It has a creamy taste, which I expect with a white tea. The fruit choices in this tea give a nice subtle taste to the tea. I was honestly expecting the pineapple to be overpowering, but the other fruit choices balance it out nicely.

I did actually manage to finish this tea before it got cold, which doesn’t happen very often.

 

As is standard, all my tea opinions are based on the tea with just water. I do not add sugar or milk to tea before I drink it the first time.

 

 

Double Cream Earl Grey

This Double Cream Earl Grey tea is a Friday Afternoon Tea, and they also have a brick and mortar location in Seattle, Washington.

I bought 4  of their sample boxes so that I could try a few of their new teas, as the ones before this in my collection are a couple of years old.

This tea, the Double Cream Earl Grey, comes from their Earls Grey collection. I have 8 samples from this collection.

I went with this one today because I wanted tea, but I didn’t want a breakfast-strength (deep flavor) tea.

This tea, definitely fit the bill for what I was looking for.

It is very mellow, and not strong on the bergamot flavoring that most Earl Grey teas have. The blue cornflower and cream flavorings are much more enjoyable that I anticipated them being.

I will admit that I let it get cold, but even then, the taste didn’t disappoint.

This one is definitely going on my list to order more of.
