English Breakfast Tea by EnjoyingTea.com


I sampled EnjoyingTea.com's English Breakfast tea. I chose the very convenient tea bag although I could have opted to review the same loose tea use a teaball. No matter, this tea reminded me that breakfast is a very good time to for a tea party!

I did add boiling water to a bodum glass (so I could see the color (how dark or light it steeped just to report my findings in this review). I waited five minutes, then added Agave and some lemon to it. This tea was not as dark in color as I had expected and truly would be perfect with scones of any kind. I enjoyed this tea hot but don't think it would be as good with ice.

One comment I did have was that I noticed this tea bag package did not have a label on it, and upon opening the plastic covering, the teabag label attached with a string to the teabag also did not state what type of tea it was. I mention this because of course every tea-throwing hostess will use a tea box and proudly display her tea collection so that her guests can pick their favorite tea from the teabox. Not having a label stating English Breakfast tea was a bit of a bummer. I could  hand write on the package, but this just seemed like work.

Excuse me for being picayune but such a wonderful online tea store no doubt can handle picayune criticism!

I am excited to continue to witness the success of EnjoyingTea.com. Their selection and variety not to mention price are impressive. Visit their store today. Plenty of time for me to get organized for a Christmas Tea Party this year! I just dusted off my teapot and teacups. I have my favorite teas ready to present.  I perfected a pretty good scone recipe too. Contact me and I'll shoot you my scone recipe. Gotta go write my guest list. Martha Stewart I ain't. But I'll sure have a lot of fun trying....

Oolong Teabags From Enjoyingtea.com

Enjoyingtea.com once again tickled my taste buds with a tea I have never tried. I read the box first. I decided to try the very clever trick recommended for a great tasty iced tea. I boiled 8 ounces of water and then placed not one - but two teabags in the water. I let the teabags steep just til the water was cool enough to place in the fridge. I came back about an hour later and added ice.

Duh. Why didn't I think of doubling up on tea bags long ago in order to get a full-bodied cold tea? I did not add lemon or honey to the cold tea. I just didn't miss those two elements in this nutty tea. I usually add lemon and honey to hot tea, but wanted to experience this tea with nothing but ice. It was delicious. Refreshing. I will make this tea often. I will make it ahead of time and leave it in the fridge. 

The Chinese credit Oolong tea with having slimming effects. A cup a day may keep the bad cholesterol away... Check it out for yourself! http://cholesterol.about.com/od/cholesterolloweringfoods/a/tea.htm.

Order a box or two or three - today at http://www.enjoyingtea.com/enooteabag.html! For less than $3.00 (and free shipping with min. purchase) you will receive a box of 20 teabags. I highly recommend Enjoyingtea.com Oolong Tea bags. They have instant Oolong tea too. May sample some. The instant tea I reviewed recently was so convenient in a water bottle with cold water while on the run. See Instant Jasmine Tea review. Happy sipping!!!

Enjoying Tea.com - Chinese Restaurant Chrysanthemum Puerh Tea

 EnjoyingTea.com blessed me with the opportunity to review a tea I have not only never have tasted - but have never known existed!! For those of you who have never drunk a flower tea - Chrysanthemum and Puerh are the go to after dinner drink in Chinese Restaurants to help digestion and lower cholesterol levels. Who knew?

Don't allow the petite-sized tea bag to fool you - even before I added boiling water, honey and lemon (I always add lemon and honey to my tea) I was assaulted in a very good way with an earthy scent. I am not sure if the earthiness is from the flower or the Puerh. If you Google Puerh (actually spelled
Pu-erh correctly in Chinese), you will realize the cholesterol-lowering properties are from the Puerh.

Who doesn't want their HDL levels raised? My husband would benefit from this tea. I plan to brew it early in the am. Most likely in my coffee pot or french press or my EnjoyingTea Flask (soon to be reviewed) I would add a few tea bags and steep. Cool, then blend with a spirulina powder fruit shake for his breakfast on the go. Shhh - he will never know I have added this tea goodness to his morning routine!

Puerh does contain some caffeine, although drinking Chrysanthemum Puerh Tea by www.EnjoyingTea.com would be a much lower caffeine, healthier alternative to my regular cup of Joe. Of course the Berean in me Googled 'Chrysanthemum Tea' for fun. I found a great site for health benefits of drinking this tea http://www.bewellbuzz.com/wellness-buzz/10-health-benefits-chrysanthemum-tea/.
