Gourmet Tea Giveaway!


Gourmet Tea Giveaway!


Who loves tea like I do?

There has to be someone! How would you like to win not one, but SIX varieties of tea?!?! Gourmet Tea at that!

Enjoyingtea.com has graciously sent me six of their specialty gourmet blends of tea to sample, and they want to share a set with one lucky winner! Isn't that amazing?

Here is the list of teas and their links for you to check them out as well.

So, this was my first tea in this set that I tried. First of all, the aroma that met me when I popped the tin open. Sweet, with hints of apple, it was too hard to resist. 

This was the sight that met me. Delicious, right?

I made it according to the direction card. And this is what it looked like.

When I tasted it without any additives, it tasted like black tea with apples. Strong yet with a light sweetness of apples. It doesn't really need sweetener. I added honey to make it just a little sweeter. I love my tea sweet. I also added a little milk, to make it a little more creamy.

This is probably my most favorite tea so far. Sweet, strong, and balanced are the keywords for this tea.
If you have ever had Rooibos tea (this was my first time) you will like this one. Upon opening, I noticed that there was a light medicinal smell, almost like vicks vapor rub in scent. It was very very light though. I was nervous to try it, but persevered on.

This is what it looked like before brewing.

After following the direction card, this is the color of the tea.

I was tentative of my first sip, and when I did, I was pleased. It tasted not really like medicine, but more like someone stirred my tea with a peppermint stick. Rich, dark in color, I really enjoyed this tea more than I originally anticipated. Sweetened with honey and added a littke milk, I downed this twa with gusto!
To me, this tea smelled and tasted like black tea, only weaker. I came out the same color as well. This though, took milk and honey better than the Apple Spice and Rooibos. 
 
This is the sight that greeted me upon opening the tin.
As you can see, the leaves are of similar color and size as black tea leaves. I liked this one. It would be better as an afternoon tea, versus a strong say morning brew of black tea.

I received this product in exchange for a fair, honest, and unbiased review, which 100% is original to me.
