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.

The tea for this morning is an Apricot White Tea from Touch Organic.

This light white tea has subtle overtones of apricot throughout the experience with a smooth mouthfeel. The aroma smells heavily of stone fruits such as apricot or nectarine and the flavor is similar with some playfulness in the finish.

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.

Today’s cup is a Mango Green Tea from Touch Organic.

As far as flavored green teas in tea bags go, this one is actually pretty nice.

The aroma isn’t all that strong, but the flavor is pretty decently balanced. It tastes like this is a bancha with mango flavoring though instead of mango pieces..
