Today’s cup is an Elaichi, Indian black tea from Tetley given to me by a coworker.
Elaichi seems to be a cardamom spiced black tea from India. And I gotta say, I kinda like it.
Sorry you can’t see it well in this pic, but Elaichi brews up a nice dark burgundy maroon. The aroma has an enticing spiciness. I’ll have to try this one again!

Today’s cup is an Orange Spice black tea from Stash Tea.
Citrus and spice have been paired together in a lot of teas. It’s because of this that this tea was so comfortable to try. But be careful when you brew it.
Perhaps the astringency and lack of subtlety are due to the tea bag quality of the leaf fannings, but while the citrus certainly came through, this tea needed to be toned down a bit from the recommended steep settings from Stash’s website.

Today’s cup is an Organic and Fair Trade Ginger Green Tea from Hampstead Tea.
Ginger has always been an interesting spice for me. Usually I find it pretty hit or miss, so I was a little nervous when trying this tea. Unnecessarily so.
The aroma is notable, but not overly strong. The flavor of the green tea does seem to match well enough with the ginger to make the tea comfortably palatable. I may have to try it a few more times to feel like it’s a tea I’d repurchase, but I can see a great many people enjoying this one.

This morning I’ve got another tea from Mighty Leaf. A Rainforest Mate (mah-tay).
This tea brews up a nice amber liquor accompanied by a lightly spiced aroma.
The flavor is balanced and comforting with slightly spicy notes in the tail, but fruitier notes in the body.

Fig. Figgy pudding. Fig. I do love figs. They’re underutilized here in The States I think. This Organic Cinnamon Fig Black Tea from Art of Tea is worth a look-see if you happen to have a taste for the figgy goodness.
