Taster’s Review:

This afternoon, I thought I’d try another tea from the TeaVeda collection from The Veda Company … this time from their “caffeinated” collection. This “Restorative” blend is a combination of green tea and the fruit flavors of orange and mango.

I steeped the silky pyramid sachet in freshly filtered water that was heated to 175°F for two minutes. This produced a flavorful cup where I can taste the bright notes of orange and the sweet notes of mango that highlight the lush green tea.

I like that while I can taste the fruit notes, they do not overpower the green tea. This is a tea first – meaning that the tea is not playing “canvas” and providing a background for these fruit flavors. I appreciate that.

The green tea is not an overly “grassy” tasting green. It’s sweet, creamy and has a light vegetal tone and hints of flower. It has a lightness that seems to meld nicely with the fruity notes. The mango and orange work very well together. These fruit notes taste juicy and pleasant with the green tea.

Overall, an enjoyable cup.

Anne (aka the Mad Tea Artist) has celebrated her 29th birthday for many years now. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her hubby and her youngest daughter. Her oldest daughter is married and has bestowed Anne with the proud title of "Gramma" and her grandson is about the cutest boy you ever did see. Anne started her journey with tea as a casual drinker and became more serious about her tea drinking when she realized that she couldn't drink coffee. Shortly thereafter, she started becoming obsessed with the beverage and she started creating small-batch, artisan blends of tea that she sold online as LiberTEAS. After a few years, she realized she wasn't cut out to be the sole proprietor of a business so she closed LiberTEAS and started reviewing teas online. She met Jennifer through another blog that they both reviewed for and they decided to start their own review blog. This review blog! Throughout her journey as a tea reviewer, she discovered 52Teas and became enamored with the idea of creating a new tea every week. When the founder of 52Teas decided he wanted to move on, he offered the business to Anne but knowing that she wasn't cut out to be a sole proprietor, she instead offered the company to her oldest daughter who employs her as the Mad Tea Artist for 52Teas!
