Good Morning!!! I am excited to post a summary of new teas brewed, tasted, and possibly reviewed by me here at Tea Escapade as well as anyone who visited and commented last week.
It goes without saying that if I am not trying something new, I am drinking my old favorites… Winter White Earl Grey, Peppermint Herbal, or Yellow and Blue. However, if I am drinking something new, I may drink the new brew multiple days in a row. So let’s talk tea…
1. S for Kitchen Confit enjoyed a sublime cuppa Earl Grey Creme by Harney and Sons. I wonder how it compares to my Earl Grey Creme Flavored Black Tea by Teavana?
2. Summer from Felicitea tried Shanti Green Tea by The Simple Leaf last week. “Shared it with a friend who also loved it. Definitely a fantastic green in my book – nice light vegetal taste, with just a hint of grassiness.” Summer also tried Stash’s powdered green tea. “It was… interesting. I’m not sure I’d buy it, but for something quick, light and green tea tasting it worked.” Thanks Summer for sharing! Your experience with the powdered green tea sounds much better than mine. I think I’ll pass on that one. 
3. This week, I had the great pleasure of drinking Honeybush Vanilla - a fantastic creamy yet sweet rooibos and Yerba Mate. Both were amazing! I placed an order with Dragonwater to obtain more as well as a couple other new teas. You can read reviews for both right here on Tea Escapade.
Thanks for sharing what was new in your cup last week. I look forward to hearing and sharing tea experiences. I cannot wait to hear “What’s new in YOUR cup” this week. Until we chat again… Happy Tea Drinking!
I’ve been dabbling into my tea drawer this week (as it’s over flowing) and I can’t recall anything specific that was spectacular. . . this morning I had a nice assam as I made breakfast.
I got a gaiwan last week, so I’ve been mostly sampling different things I already knew so I could see if there was a flavor difference. There is a little. This week, after a big meeting I have tomorrow, I’ll be trying gungfo style on a couple teas. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Hello,
Nice update on recent teas.
Your blog is always informative.
Would you like some tea samples?
Regards
Hey Jon,
Thanks for the kind words! Tea samples would be great. Feel free to email me at teaescapade@yahoo.com.
Summer,
What fun! I have never brewed gongfu style so I cannot wait to hear about your experience.
