It’s hard to believe a couple months ago I started this daily morning cup series. I hope you find it interesting. These don’t go into as much detail as my regular in-depth reviews or my other content, but I hope you like them nonetheless.

I chose this Organic Lemon Valerian from Hampstead Tea for my cup this morning.

Smooth and light is how I would describe this brew. The Valerian root adds a nice relaxing touch this morning.

In both the flavor and aroma there are undertones of Lemon mixed amongst a couple even more subtle hints at hay and citrus spice.

I woke up on the grumpy side of the bed this morning. So, I instantly gravitated to this Organic Peppermint from Taylors of Harrogate to soothe my nerves.

Crisp and clean, this tea remains invigorating throughout the infusion. I think it’s best hot, but even chilled a bit it proves quite refreshing.

The aroma and flavor are spot on what I expected and was hoping for.

This Black Saffron tea from Hampstead Tea made it into my cup this morning.

Saffron. This promised to be an intriguing one right from the start!

The aroma was light, a bit airy and metallic with a touch of honey in the undertones. The flavor was stronger, a good mix I think. The saffron’s hay-ish grassy notes came through well, but not overpowering.

A vanilla flavored Sri Lankan black tea steeped into my cup this morning from Mackwoods Tea.

Sometimes vanilla can be a bit strong. Not this case with this brew. I actually think it’s a bit too light for my tastes. The aroma is nice and smooth with hints of honey mixed in. The flavor and body are firm, but the vanilla isn’t strong enough to subdue to astringency inherent in the Sri Lankan black tea.

Touch Organic got another tea in my cup with morning with their Very Berry White Tea with Fruit.

This white tea is just sweet and just astringent enough to be perfect on an autumn day. The fruit and white tea mix well here providing an effusive brew capable of captivating the sense. A bit odd to say about a bagged tea. I can only hope their loose tea is just as good.
