I never saw another customer in Teavana.
The employees often stood out front, usually wringing their hands and looking uncomfortable while people walked by. They didn’t really want to serve samples. They didn’t want to stand outside and harass people into trying them. They couldn’t tell me what ingredients were… Read the rest...

It’s been a long time since I did a tea review. A whole year, in fact! I haven’t had much new tea to drink in the past year. After receiving a lot of freebies, I decided I should use up what I had on hand before I experimented with anything… Read the rest...
Every now and then, I’ll receive a recommendation for a tea only available from small, local shops dotting the country. I’m always eager to try them, but if I can’t find an online storefront, it’s a lot harder to get ahold of the tea to try it. Today’s blend is… Read the rest...
My husband is more of a coffee guy. I can’t have coffee, so he always feels a little guilt when he gets himself a bag of coffee and can’t share it with me. One of the last times he stopped at Kroger to grab some coffee grounds for the office,… Read the rest...
I’ve wanted to bring home an oolong to try for a while, but hadn’t found any that were both appealing and affordable. I was delighted to encounter local vendor All in The Leaves selling teas at our city’s sesquicentennial festival, for more reasons than one. I love supporting local businesses,… Read the rest...

Exploring more bagged tea options, this blend was what ended up next on my list. I decided to try it on an unseasonably pleasant day, figuring the cinnamon would make it too warming to enjoy in the high summer temperatures we’ve had.
Tazo’s Cinnamon Chalet is a rooibos blend, something… Read the rest...
Thus far, I’ve devoted all my reviews to loose leaf teas. They’re definitely my tea of choice, but it’d be unfair to overlook other options as well. Bagged tea is the kind most commonly sold and consumed, and it’s readily available in supermarkets in a wide variety of flavors. Some… Read the rest...
On a particularly stressful day, I decided it was finally time to break out the sample packet containing Plum Deluxe’s Self Care tea blend. It was my first time trying a honeybush tea, so I was interested in seeing how it compared to the rooibos base people often compare it… Read the rest...
When I saw this tea’s ingredients, I frowned in puzzlement. Honestly, I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy it. I couldn’t see how those flavors would work together and couldn’t picture a blend. I’m always hesitant when it comes to lavender, anyway, because I love the smell, but the flavor reminds me… Read the rest...
