May’s Teas – 2012

You speak and we listen. This month we have brought back two of our most popular teas, Red Rocks and Royal Blend, both featured in our January Tea Box. To date, these two teas have received the most acknowledgement from our members. This month we also bring to you Crannyberry by Joy’s Teaspoon. I would swear this tea was specifically blended for me, except for the fact everybody at the tea party loved it. Rishi Tea returns to the stage once more with a tropic green tea, Orange Blossom. Let us know what you think. Your feedback helps guide our selection process.

T-Bud’s Royal Blend
This blend is a traditional English black tea blend scented with bergamot and high notes of caramel, finished with delicate rose-petal accents. This fragrant blend is evocative of English romance and heritage that will awaken the passion of tea lovers.

Ingredients: English black tea, bergamot, caramel, and rose-petals.

Jane Pettigrew, International Tea Sommelier – “This has a very appealing and balanced aroma. Very pleasant. The caramel comes through well but subtly, softened by the roses with a whisper of bergamot.”

Joy’s Teaspoon’s Crannyberry
Dating back to Greek Mythology, the pomegranate has been a symbol for beauty, power and community. Sour cranberries and fruity, sweet raspberries play in perfect harmony with the pomegranate: a dream of scents combined with the noble, tangy aroma of black tea.

Ingredients: Black tea, freeze-dried raspberry and cranberry pieces, flavoring, pomegranate arils, peony petals.

Michael, Tea Sparrow Family – “Beautiful black tea, with a touch of sweet and tart from the cranberry and pomegranate. This is a permanent staple on my tea shelf!”

Rishi Tea’s Orange Blossom
Orange Blossom is a refreshing and floral blend of green teas with sweetly-scented blossoms, lemongrass and tropical citrus fruits.

Ingredients: Organic Fair Trade Certified™ green tea, organic lemongrass, organic lemon myrtle, natural rose flavor, natural essential oils of orange, lime, and tangerine, organic jasmine flowers.

Michael, Tea Sparrow Family – “It’s not often we discover a tea made with so many ingredients that can still deliver a distinct uniform flavour.”

The Tea Spot’s Red Rock
Our blend of naturally caffeine–free South African red rooibos, vanilla, and almond bits is an herbal delight! Rooibos is full of antioxidants and healthy minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, and fluoride. It has a wonderfully smooth flavor, and is a great cold buster as well as thirst quencher. It brews into a dark red liquor and has a naturally sweet, earthy scent, reminiscent of pipe–tobacco. You cannot over–steep this tea (the longer the better!) and it is fantastic by itself, or with cream and a bit of sweetener. Red Rocks is the perfect, healthy, all-around herbal tea – a favorite amongst athletes and as mom’s choice for children.

 Ingredients: South African rooibos, vanilla, chopped almonds.

Michael Menashy, Tea Sparrow Family – “Gold Metal Rooibos winner. This was our favourite rooibos from the tea parties. A complete feel good drink.”
