What’s New In Your Cup? (7/14/08)

Last week was full of tea adventures. More than I have had time to write about. I often wonder where does the time go? 

Before I fall into philosophical rhetoric, I’ll get on to the meat of this post. The focus… recounting what new teas we were drinking last week.

It’s Monday night - at least it is in my time zone so I better finish writing this post before Tuesday arrives…

1. Summer of Felicitea - “This week I drank a lot of Earl Grey. I’m making a custom blend for Brandice of SteapTV and that’s leaving me tasting, tasting, tasting to find the right balance.” Additionally, Summer has been sipping The Simple Leaf’s Chloe and several bottles of iced Refreshing Afternoon.

2. Tea from Ocean of Tea has been enjoying various Oolongs and Whites. “A friend gave me a few ounces of silver needle from Teavana, I must say, it’s quite delicious!”

3. Gretchen from Book Of Tea drank four teas this week: an iced White Pear tea from Tealuxe, a Blueberry Green Tea from the Superfruit Tea line of the Republic of Tea, Grand Green by Zhena’s Gypsy Tea, and a Coconut Pouchong from Tealuxe. “The superior tea by far was the Grand Green, which is an organic, fair traded green tea with peppermint and stevia.”

4. I enjoyed several new teas last week as well. Lemongreen, a refreshing green and lemongrass tea from Tavalon Tea; Champagne Oolong, a high quality oolong tea from Dragonwater; Black Vanilla Chai, a delicious flavored black tea from Dragonwater; and After Dark, a fruit filled herbal tea from Tavalon Tea. Each of these teas provided a unique tea drinking experience. Reviews can be found right here on Tea Escapade.

It has been a wonderful week drinking and sharing tea adventures. A big thanks to all who contributed comments to this week’s edition of “What’s New In Your Cup?” I look forward to hearing from you this week. Until then… Happy Tea Drinking!
