Vanilla Creme Earl Grey from California Tea House

Apr. 29th, 2010
appearance: a standard looking black tea with bits of blue and white plant matter mixed in ["we added bits of vanilla bean and sunflower petals"].

Organic Lapsang Souchong from California Tea House
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 29th, 2010
note: this is the only lapsang souchong i've tried.

Apr. 28th, 2010
preface: i'm a huge fan of the real 'organic throat coat' tea. i love the flavor and aroma.
i had the misfortune of trying the 'just for kids' version. basically, while it has some of the same ingredients, the blend is far from identical. i guess it's an alright licorice-tasting tea, but the magic of the original...
Throat Coat® from Traditional Medicinals
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 28th, 2010
i'll start by saying that i drink this 'tea' simply because i love the flavor. i'm not reviewing this to vouch for its efficacy in the treatment of any condition.
i'll continue by saying that everyone, with the exception of one or two people, that i've given a cup of this to did not care for it flavor-wise.
