Again, English Tea Shop did not disappoint. This herbal tea is so yummy. Though a bit too sweet for my liking, I am definitely going to have this again.

A coworker, knowing my enthusiasm towards tea, gave me this: English Tea Shop Super Berries is an infusion of hibiscus, rooibos, spearmint, raspberries, strawberries and blueberries. Just like with any other ETS tea, all of the ingredients are organically grown and processed. This infusion smells a lot like cranberry juice. Tastes like it too, sweet and tart. It's basically like drinking warm cranberry juice.

Merry Christmas everyone! Let's talk about a Christmas tea on Christmas day, shall we? This one's a Christmas gift from my boyfriend: Rooibos tea is an herbal infusion made from the leaves of the rooibos plant, a South African bush. It is brewed in the same manner as black tea, oftentimes, with the addition of sugar and cream. Organic Rooibos GingerBread Man Christmas Tea is a blend of rooibos, cinnamon, ginger, pineapples, etc. all sourced in an organic manner. Taste test time. This tea has a sweet and spicy aroma. Furthermore, its most dominant flavor is cinnamon making this tea taste a lot like chai. The good thing about rooibos is that it is naturally caffeine free, so it could be enjoyed even before bedtime. This tea has a somewhat silky, rich quality to it that makes it quite heavy to the palate. I'm not sure if I like this tea. It isn't bad, that's for sure, but I don't think I would drink this every night. Still, its texture and flavor are intriguing enough to warrant a few more cups.
- Krissie Earl Grey is one of my favorite tea blends. It is black tea flavored with oil of bergamot -- a citrus fruit. It is one of the most common tea used for afternoon teas and cream teas. It is good on it's own as well as with some milk or creamer. Usually, it is Twinings for me but having a very nice first impression on English Tea Shop, I decided to get their Earl Grey this time. The most notable thing about this tea is its smell. The smell reminds me of wintermelon milk tea. It is so fragrant and I guess it is one of the qualities of English Tea Shop teas. It is also naturally sweeter than Twinings Earl Grey.
English Tea Shop Fairtrade and Organic Earl Grey will be another favorite of mine and I am excited to try their other blends. - Krissie My favorite kind of tea is black. You can never go wrong with a nice and strong black tea. So, when I saw this tea at the supermarket, I didn't hesitate to grab a box. The packaging is so cute! It is also emphasized that this tea is organically grown and processed. Chai or masala chai originated in India and is prepared by blending black tea with spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, mace, ginger, licorice, anise and black pepper. Once home, I immediately prepared a cup of this chai. You can enjoy this tea as it is but chai is best enjoyed sweet and with milk. This smells so spicy and some people may not like it because of that but this tea tastes much better than it smells. English Tea Shop's Black Tea Chai is really good and I will definitely buy it again.
