the_rckOne of the teas that kyrielle sent me was Bigelow’s Eggnogg’n. I was a little dubious about an eggnog flavored tea, but I was also very curious. The ingredients say that it’s a black tea/green tea blend with 'natural eggnog flavor and other natural flavors' and cinnamon. I actually quite liked this one. It went well with the stevia I sweetened it with. I’m not sure how much it tastes like eggnog because I haven’t had any in years (I have to have the kind with no actual eggs because eggs are a huge migraine trigger for me, and Scott doesn’t care for it).
A few months ago,retsuko sent me a sampler of teas— Zhena’s Gypsy Tea. I’m pretty sure I’ve tried all four of them, but I don’t remember what I thought of them, partly because I didn’t write it down at the time and partly because that was while I was taking a lot of hydrocodone. I just tried the Gypsy Rose kind again. It smells very rose like. I added stevia. It tastes very floral, but I’m not sure it tastes like the rose petals I ate as a kid (my mother assured me they were edible, so I wasn’t just eating stuff at random). I think I like this one.

I remember not liking one or the other of the bottom two, but it's been so long that I can't remember which one was which. I just remember that one or the other was bitter. Possibly I over-steeped it. That's terribly easy to do.

Date: 2015-12-28 10:53 pm (UTC)Anyway, both of your tea suggestions sound very nice and I will look for them. I have enjoyed a rose tea that I got from Tea Haus. The eggnog tea probably needs to be consumed in the winter months, I'm guessing. I find that my interests go more to floral and fruit flavored teas in the summer.
