My parents are evil. They brought me back a tea sampler from a Tea Store in Barcelona. First, the tins in the sampler are awesome. They are round tubes that look to hold a decent amount of tea, say 20 teaspoons. Even if I don't like the tea, I now have new travel tea tins. Their website is bothering me a bit right now, I'll have to play with it when I get home.

So the sample tins that came in the cute wooden box are:

Garcia Blend Black: Ceylon Black Tea with orange peel, vanilla pieces, rose, safflower, sunflower petals, aromas

Superior Earl Grey

Pakistani: Chinese black tea with cardamonm, cinamon stick, cloves, vanilla, aromas

Moon Oolong: Chinese Oolong, pollen, mallow, safflower petals, almond brittle, grated almonds, aromas

Orange Pu Erh: Chinese Pur Eh, blood oranges, safflower flowers, aromas

Vanilla Pur Eh: Chinese Pur Eh, vanilla pods, vanilla aroma

Japanese Lime: Japanese Sencha, line aroma, lemon peel, daisy flowers

Choc&Berry: Chinese Sencha, chocolate chips, cocoa, cranberries, aromoa

Strawberry Pai Mu Tan: Pa Mu Tan white tea, carmalised strawberries, aroma

Rooibos Live Savannah: Fermented rooibos, grated coconut, raspberry pieces, orange peel, honey pollen, blackberry leaves, raspberry leaves, aroma.

I have never heard of Chinese Sencha before, so I am very interested in trying that. The Choc&Berry sounds awesome.

The Rooibos is good. It tastes different then most other Rooibos I have tried.

It is going to be a fun couple of days

Lunch
Yorkshire Gold
Cuppa #4

ProfCrash · 11-09-2010, 02:22 PM

Lunch 2 DR. Peppers

After Lunch Pot three: Gracia Blend Black. It is ok. It reminds me of another tea that I have, I want to say Black Oriental Moon. I will drink it but it is not going to be a tea I want to buy.

ProfCrash · 11-09-2010, 03:35 PM

OK I am having apot of the Choc&Berry.

I am trying to decide how I feel about this tea. You cannot taste much of the green tea. The chocolate is the main taste, which is not bad. Then there is a little of a fruity overtone at the end of the sip. It kind of tastes like weak hot chocolate with raspberry. I think I would prefer it as a black tea then a green tea.

You definitely are.
If you can coherently type at 06.20.

Today's last cuppa...will be ready soon.
Probably...mate coconut milk.

The drinks machines at work have done wonders for the quality of tea at work - half my team have chipped in for a box of Yorkshire gold and take turns in getting milk

At the moment, though, my cup is empty. I'm deciding between Twining's Everyday, or brewing up some loose leaf Assam with spices, sugar and milk for a nice warming masala chai

Latinandgreek · 11-09-2010, 05:05 PM

Apricot juice.
