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.

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.

Wednesday is Green Tea, White Tea, Rooibos, Oolong and Tisane (Herbal) Review Day!
As the weather gets colder, I’ve noticed myself gravitating to more spiced teas that usual. This lightly spiced citrus infused sencha style green tea from 52teas is a palate pleaser.

Friday is Black Tea, Floral Tea, Fruit Tea, Chai and Pu’erh Review Day!
This pretty coconut rooibos chai blend from Mighty Leaf Tea is a splendid example of a tea which comes close, but misses the ball. Aromatic and spicy Coco Chai Rooibos still comes out just a bit too weak.
