Tasters Review:
I have been looking for a Mint Oolong for a LONG time like this one!
Strong Mint and plump Oolong…plain and simple…well, not really plain…but simple. It’s the classic case of K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Silly) and it works!
If you are like me and LOVE mint you will probably like this one! The mint is intense but that is EXACTLY what I was looking for being a MINT LOVER.
Because I haven’t found as many Mint Oolongs or ones that are readily available I am rating this high…not only for those reasons but because I DO like this very much! It’s very refreshing, very mint, and very tasty!
I can check another items of my “Tea Bucket List”…I have found an awesome Mint Oolong! Thanks Butiki Teas!
On the 5th Day of Christmas … from 52Teas
Good things come to those who wait?
I’ve heard this before, but, is it really true?
Well, in the case of these 12 Teas of Christmas, I have had many (well, five so far!) good things come to me as I’ve been waiting patiently for each day to arrive. However, I suspect that I would have still had these teas even if I hadn’t waited.
But don’t tell the kids that. It is important for them to know that good things come to those who wait. I don’t know why it is important for them to know this. For some reason, my parents thought it was important that I know this, and now, 52Teas feels the need to echo that sentiment.
But… we needn’t wait any longer! Today’s tea of the day is…
CHOCOLATE MINT BLACK TEA
Tea Information:
Leaf Type: Black
Where to Buy: 52Teas
Product Description:
We had a special request to create a stunning chocolate mint tea to serve at a wedding reception and to offer as wedding favors for guests at the wedding. The result was so awesome, I think we should share it with our other customers. So, without further ado, here is our featured tea of the week for the week of July 13th, the ultimate dessert tea, our chocolate mint flavored black tea, with real organic cacao nibs, fresh cut peppermint and all natural flavors.
Taster’s Review:
This tea came as a very welcome surprise this morning! I have tasted this tea (you can read my review of it here), but it is such a delicious tea, I don’t mind that at all.
This one tastes just as good as I remember it: a bright, crisp minty taste and a smooth, rich chocolate flavor. The black tea is robust and strong but rather than interrupting the flavors of the chocolate and mint, it somehow manages to enhance them.
The best part of this tea: the chocolate and mint flavors intensify as I continue to make my way down the cup.
The worst part of this tea: when it’s gone.
This was a delicious treat. I can’t wait to see what tea I’ll be enjoying tomorrow!
Santa’s Secret from David’s Tea
Tea Type: Black Tea
Where To Buy: David’s Tea
Product Description:
Need a little helper?
Ever wonder how Santa manages to deliver all those presents in just one night? Well here’s the hush-hush formula. He uses a special combination of Chinese black tea, peppermint leaves and spices – all sprinkled with real little candy canes. It’s both energizing and remarkably soothing. All Santa needs is one cup and his motto changes from “ho ho ho” to “go go go”.
Tasters Review:
Someone at David’s Tea must have done some checking up on me to know I have a weakness for minty teas! Perhaps THAT’S Santa’s Secret! He was spying on me!?
The Minty Goodness and the Candy Cane Goodness are separate but still yummy and still work together very nicely! I LOVE the little Candy Canes in this! So Festive!
I ALWAYS drink my teas plain but I might have to break down and try this one with some Soy Milk – just because! BUT this IS lovely as-is!!! So either way – plain or with additives – this is sure to be a treat!

Tasters Review:
You may have noticed over the past week or two SororiTEA Sisters have upped the amount of Holiday Related Tea Posts! Well, indeed, we have! The Holiday Season is HERE afterall! To add to our ever-growing list of Holiday Teas or Seasonal Teas…Here is another one! One from Octavia Tea and it’s called WINTER TEA.
Winter Tea smells like Mint Chocolate Chip before infusion…right as you open the package. Post infusion smells like Vanilla-Chocolate-Mint-Rooibos.
Taste-wise is first and foremost Mint then Chocolate then Vanilla then Rooibos then spice then back to chocolate then Vanilla-Rooibos! Yup! It’s a great wintery rollercoaster of flavor folks! And I wouldn’t have it any other way! This has a lot happening here but everything follows suit with what you would expect based on the idea of this tisane and the ingredients!

Tasters Review:
The first time I had this tea the dry leaf mixture smelled JUST LIKE York Peppermint Patties! Post Infusion it smelled like Black Tea, Peppermint, Cream. I remembered this ‘brewed up’ quick and dark! It tasted like black tea, mint, and vanilla. I remember saying that I LOVED the out-of the-bag aroma better than the actual taste of the tea…but the more I sipped the more I enjoyed it!
The 2nd time I sampled this I found it to be much more memorable! Much more minty and creamy, too! I really like this! I mean really like this! Many of you know my love for minty things!
I still think this smells like a Peppermint Patty but I love the fact that I can taste the Black Tea, The Mint, The Creaminess…all in one! This is very aromatic, very bold, very flavorful, and very tasty.
I think I will have another cup today and many more days to come!
