Green… Minuman Teh Hijau Jepang 30 Nov 201420 Dec 2015 Occasionally I've run across iced teas produced by the Pokka company. I didn't realize this before, but Pokka is a Singaporean company, which means today's post is my first review…
Black… Plantation Peach 20 Nov 201420 Dec 2015 This week I stumbled across a new vendor that I'm excited to be sampling today. For possibly the first time ever, today's tea is entirely grown, produced and marketed from…
Classes and Tisanes Koi Tea (…well, not quite) 18 Nov 201424 Jan 2015 Maybe "Kingyocha"? xD I bow (and blow a kiss) to a reader who sent me a link to this utterly adorable tea product reviewed by Bored Panda. I would love…

A2 Local… Organic Ancient Snow Sprout ~ Great Lakes Tea & Spice Co. 12 Nov 201420 Dec 2015 I have mentioned before how much I love Glen Arbor's Great Lakes Tea & Spice Co. and lament the loss of their Bloomfield Hills kiosk, but it doesn't seem like…
China… Rare Orchid Oolong ~ The Tea Source 11 Nov 201420 Dec 2015 Today is turning out to be a very good day. The second i ripped open the brown paper satchel of Steepster's Tea Source's "Rare Orchid Oolong" my nose was assaulted with…
A2 Local… Chocolate Mint ~ Harney & Sons 10 Nov 201430 Jan 2016 This post is probably going to be either brief or late in coming or both. I'm a bit more busy this morning than I thought I'd be. Harney & Sons,…
Black… Caramel Black ~ Republic of Tea 7 Nov 201420 Dec 2015 As much as I love caramel, i don't think i've ever really had something i'd use as a rubric from which to measure all other caramels against (an Ultimate Caramel…

China… Golden Amber ~ Tazo 23 Oct 201420 Dec 2015 Apart from having a highly redundant title, Tazo's Golden Amber is a decent organic honeyed oolong iced tea. Yes, I'm still reviewing iced tea. Maybe i shouldn't but then, this…
