This cute, colorful little accessory allows you to use a tea bag without all the mess.

Typically when we use bagged teas we’re left squeezing the extra tea with our bare hands. Well… not anymore! This little squeezer not only holds the tea bag after you’ve infused it, you can use it to squeeze the un-dripped tea from the bag as well.

Little touches on this accessory make it worthwhile if you happen to drink tea from teabags commonly. The divet at the back of the Tea Squeeze makes it cleaner and less messy to pick the bag back up if you need to. The spout at the front of the device makes it rather drip-free to dispense your squeezed tea.

Overall, if you happen to use tea bags from time to time, or frequently, this little tool is a keeper.

Pros

• Keeps your table
• Removes unsightly tea bags
• Divet for the string to rest
• Spout for drip-less dispensing
• Squeezes tea from bag without getting any on yourself
• Preserves better flavor for future steeps
• Dishwasher safe

Cons

• Means you’re using tea bags instead of drinking loose tea

Friday is Black Tea, Floral Tea, Fruit Tea, Chai and Pu’erh Review Day!

Vegetables in tea!?! You heard me right. This white tea blend from Fully Loaded Tea is interesting and enticing from the packaging to the flavor!

I’m not sure if Katya and Olga woke up one morning and BAM! they just knew to use cucumber in a tea, or what. But what I think is that they’re pure genius!

This blend is in a pyramid tea bag (sachet) and looks to have a mix of floral leaves and  carrot pieces, but I didn’t see any cucumber. It brews a beautiful tangerine-orange color. Nice and bright.

The aroma has Cucumber tart, hints of safflower, some spice and carrot and is slightly pungent.

Flavor-wise you deffinitely catch the cucumber, carrot, spice and safflower. Though marigold is on the ingredients list I certainly didn’t catch it. It is slightly sour and clearly vegetal. It reminds slightly of spinach.

The flavor is well balanced, but the aroma is the draw here. Not too bold, not weak, just a well balanced tea. Great for a change of pace and worth a try. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys trying different teas.

Wednesday is Green Tea, White Tea, Rooibos, Oolong and Tisane (Herbal) Review Day!

Goji berries are an understated flavor accessory. I’m of the opinion they’re not used frequently enough. From the wonderful female duo over at Fully Loaded Tea comes this Goji Force Green Tea.

This tea comes in pyramid sachets. Very popular in the industry for a few years now. Fortunately, Katya and Olga also found a way to use big berry slices and larger leaf sizes than I usually expect, all in one of these little silken wonders.

The liquor infuses to a light amber gold and provides an aroma with notes of light spice and light hints of grassiness expected with green teas.

With notes of honey some berry taste and an easy finish this tea is extremely comforting to drink. There is a slight spiced bit, almost like pepper, in the tail… but it’s subtle and not at all overpowering.

I recommend this tea to drinkers of spiced beverages, fruit teas and medium to light bodied green teas.
