*This is a little late due to some database issues this morning, but thanks for holding out and being patient!*

In my cup this morning steeped a tasty Naked Strawbeery Green Tea from Fully Loaded Tea.

I’ve always liked the Fully Loaded Teas. Their packaging is bright and colorful. Its vibrance alone perks me up a bit.

This specific tea seems to play a bit of confusion on the palate. I taste the fruitiness with the tart expected from strawberries, but there’s something almost dry about the palate texture itself which I cannot place. Not bad per’s but unexpected.

The aroma is very light with hints of fruitiness and subtle hints at a natural sweetness.

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.

I’m enjoying a nice light Organic African Nectar in my cup this Morning from Mighty Leaf Tea, who happen to have 20% off selected tea gifts today!

This rooibos smells and tastes of invigorating citrus. The texture on the tongue is smoother than anticipated. A pleasant surprise actually. It makes this tea easy to drink all day!

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.
