Happy Birthday Tea

when i signed up for adagio.com they gave you the ability to fill in when your birthday is and then they would give you a tea for it one of there zodiac tea selection. so my birthday being today i thought i might as well share my Pisces tea with you all (the review that is).

adaigio: Pisces blend

Pisces people love music and poetry and frequently daydream. Why not daydream and have a nice cup of tea? A blend of Rooibos, Orange and just a touch of Chamomile. 

Me:

now one would think rooibos and chamomile that’s an odd combination and that is what i said when i read the review, but is actually a good pairing. the chamomiles heavy almost caramel taste mellows the fruity blast from. this gives is a candy taste like a natural candy its got a hint of those flavoured honeys that you can get from the farmers markets. you can’t really taste any of the orange it must just meld with the rooibos to much or that it is just over powered. this is also a good tea for the cold season its jam backed with vitamins so it’ll keep you healthy.

 

price:

4oz tin    $10 USD CAD

FullyLoadedTea

Fullyloadedtea is a Vancouver based tea company that specializes in fruit blended teas it was started by two sisters Katya Popoff and Olga Lenova with the idea of sharing the teas that they grew up with back in Siberia, the revelation came to them when they were in Europe studying, they had gone to a tea house in Paris and asked them selves why did tea have to be so fancy. That’s when they decided to come back to Canada and start their business. They started planning and researching the industry in 2006 and started displaying at trade shows in March of 07. The packaging and clever descriptions of the teas set them apart from other brands at the Los Angeles and Vancouver trade shows. All the teas, fruits and other ingredients are imported and inspected in Quebec where they are also blended and packaged.

Their teas are becoming more common in retail stores and grocery stores, you can also find them at amazon.com and via there own online store if you want to know where you can get some of these teas go to there website and click on “where to buy”. I purchased two flavors from them and am enjoying them. I got the gogi force green tea and the tomato rebel black tea, which is allot nicer then it sounds. When you order you also get samples of all there other blends to try. Which is a great extra.
