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.

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.

 

 

Mint Cocoa Drip : UmliciousMe Tea

Ingredients: Black tea blend, Peppermint Tea, Cacao Pieces

available for purchase at https://umliciousme.com/. It retails for $16.00. They also have coffee and coffee alternative options.

My first impressions are that it smells like mint hot chocolate.

This is a mint tea, but not in an overpowering mint taste way. I can taste the black tea and the cacao. I drink it without anything additional, but this would be a good one to add a splash of milk or cream too. This is one that I will drink again,

Cookie Tea : Almond Cookie Herbal

This is an interesting one. I haven’t even tasted it yet, but it smells like baking season and has a 10 minute steeping time.

Ingredients: Apple pieces, almonds, cinnamon pieces, beetroot, flavoring. This does contain nuts.

This is a loose-leaf tea.

These can be purchased at www.cookietea.com

Ok, now that its has time to steep.

This tastes like a liquid almond liquid cookie. The beetroot turns the tea pink, but does not affect the taste of the tea at all. This is a somewhat sweet tea, but does not contain any caffinee
