PETALI TEAS ROASTED ALMOND CHAI

Brand: Petali Teas

Type: Rooibos (It’s marked “Chai,” but because it’s not on a traditional black tea base, I’m not sure if I’d really call it that? Anyway, it’s mostly rooibos.)

Ingredients: Rooibos, ginger, licorice root, cardamom, star anise, cinnamon, black pepper, apples, almonds, beet root, essence.

Aroma: This tea is an absolute delight straight out of the tin. It’s extremely aromatic, and has a very sweet, rounded aroma that is strongly reminiscent of bakery. I feel like I want to take a bite out of this tea! (That would be really gross though don’t do that). It’s not exceptionally spicy-smelling. The almond is really apparent, and the black pepper shows up as an aftertaste in the back of the throat.
It’s practically potpourri, and I suppose you might not like it if you don’t like really in-your-face aroma, but I really love it.

Steep Time and Temp: 7 minutes, boiling

Flavor: I enjoyed the part of this cup of tea on its own, then added milk (even though I’m still a little dubious about whether or not I’d call it a chai, I thought it would be appropriate).
The tea is smoother than I expected, and it also has a kind of oily mouthfeel that I’m not really sure I like. It feels almost slippery. Still, it has a nice flavor on the finish, with just a hint of spice - despite its almost overwhelming aroma, this is pretty mild as spice teas go. It is definitely more rooibos than chai. This is a super cozy, comforting tea, and would be great for sick days and winter weather. Still, like any tea with cinnamon, it has a tendency to numb your tongue after a while if you steep it long enough. :/
I added milk when I had only drank about 1/4th of the tea … and everything went to shit. Milk COMPLETELY washes this tea out (and I brewed it pretty strong - about an ounce and a half of tea to the mug rather than the one ounce they suggest). I could barely even tell that it was tea anymore. This tea cannot be drunk the way you’d drink a normal chai - and that’s pretty disappointing to me, because chai is the only tea I enjoy milk with. :c

Final notes: I enjoyed a cup of this with honey this morning (no milk! >:c) and it was really, really nice. I definitely suggest sweetener with this, and I usually take teas plain. Honey would be better than sugar - it complements it much better - and if you must use sugar, try to get your hands on turbinado!
I’m gonna rate this tea a 7 out of 10. I wish I didn’t have to use so much tea to get it to the strength I like, because it was pretty expensive. :/ Still, it’s beautiful in the tin and really cozy and nice, so I’m still pretty fond of it.

teatotalism: Gyokuro Green Tea Granita! I’m obsessed with granitas, especially tea granitas. It’s what I’ll be eating all summer, no doubt about it. Granita Recipe You’ll need tea (any kind!), sugar (optional), a shallow baking sheet or dish (freezer-safe) and a fork. 1. Brew the tea. 2. Add the sugar. I find that 1 tablespoon per 3 cups of tea is sweet enough for me. If the sugar doesn’t completely melt, heat the tea up on the stove top. 3. Wait for the tea to cool to room temperature. Then, pour it into your dish/sheet and stick it in the freezer. 4. Check on it every half hour. Once it starts to form ice, use your fork to break it up. Keep doing this every half hour or so until it reaches the consistency you’re looking for. (As in, dry crystals with no tea liquid pooling at the bottom of the dish.) If you accidentally forget to check on the granita, you’ll end up with a block of ice that will require an ice pick to shatter. Not that I’m speaking from experience or anything. 5. Once it’s just right, scoop the granita into a cup or get fancy with a wine glass. Garnish with fruit or even a bit of honey on top, then enjoy! This sounds perfect, and so easy to make!

TEA REVIEW: GOOD EARTH SWEET & SPICY Type: Black/Cinnamon Brand: Good Earth Ingredients: Black tea, artificial flavor (oops I forgot to check the ingredients before I bought it whoops I’m a snob please hold me -dies-), rosehips, chamomile, cinnamon, lemongrass, peppermint, jasmine tea, papaya leaves, anise seed, ginger root, orange peel, orange oil.The kitchen sink like seriously what are you guys trying to achieve here calm your tits  Dry Aroma: A little overpowering. The main note is made up of the spices, mostly cinnamon, but the anise is definitely there. Peppermint is a high note, chamomile forms a low base. Orange is there, stings the nose. I have no fucking idea what papaya leaves smell like, so it might be in there and I’m just not picking it up? But anyway, sharp aroma, a little heavyhanded, but the complex notes are there if you can get past the cinnamon. Steep: 4 minutes Brewed Aroma: Rounds out and mellows a LOT. I can smell the lemongrass now - actually, the whole thing just smells “greener” as opposed to spicy. The cinnamon is still the main note, but it blends a lot better now. Everything’s more blended, really, it’s more of a cohesive smell and I can’t really pick out separate notes as well. I just realized my tea reviews are like, stream-of-consciousness. Whoops. Taste: I am going to die This tea is really, really strong. Like, they’re not kidding about spicy. You better LOVE cinnamon, honey. You and cinnamon better be on really, really good terms. It’s also shockingly sweet. It really does taste sweetened … either with agave sweetener or white sugar (except with less aftertaste). In fact, it tastes so sweetened that I’m giving the “artificial flavors” the sideeye. Unless papaya leaves are some kind of secret sweetener I didn’t know about, I don’t see how they could have gotten it to taste like this.I would suggest taking really small sips and letting it wash quickly over your tongue to taste it, because if you take normal mouthfuls or hold it in your mouth too long, the cinnamon just numbs your tongue and makes it hard to taste anything. Sorry guys, I’m trying to pick up more detailed notes, but the cinnamon has already numbed my tongue. I can’t taste for shit. @_@  Overall Rating: 6 out of 10. It would have been higher, because honestly it does taste really good, but the fact that the cinnamon overpowers everything makes it hard to enjoy it as anything more complex than just a normal cinnamon tea. Closing Notes: You definitely don’t need sweetener for this. Milk would be great, though! It would be like a cousin to chai, especially with the sweetness of it. If you don’t like sweetening your tea, this is NOT for you, because it’s so sweet by default. Goes well with ginger cookies!

Alrighty, guys, I have some real treats lined up for my next few reviews!

I bought two more kinds of tea - “sweet and spicy” and peppermint. I also got ginger thins (which are my favorite kind of cookie), almond thins (because I saw them next to the ginger thins and I love almonds), and - the magnificent finale - some Earl Grey infused chocolate. (That fucking chocolate was like $5.50 what am I doing with my life)

Anyway, this should account for most of the reviews over the next week! I realized I’m gonna have to space them out, I don’t have the resources to do two reviews a day. @_@

tea is really expensive guys

guys i’m broke

also i really need to buy a charger so i can take better pictures but guess what i have no money

teatotalism: Gyokuro Green Tea Granita! I’m obsessed with granitas, especially tea granitas. It’s what I’ll be eating all summer, no doubt about it. Granita Recipe You’ll need tea (any kind!), sugar (optional), a shallow baking sheet or dish (freezer-safe) and a fork. 1. Brew the tea. 2. Add the sugar. I find that 1 tablespoon per 3 cups of tea is sweet enough for me. If the sugar doesn’t completely melt, heat the tea up on the stove top. 3. Wait for the tea to cool to room temperature. Then, pour it into your dish/sheet and stick it in the freezer. 4. Check on it every half hour. Once it starts to form ice, use your fork to break it up. Keep doing this every half hour or so until it reaches the consistency you’re looking for. (As in, dry crystals with no tea liquid pooling at the bottom of the dish.) If you accidentally forget to check on the granita, you’ll end up with a block of ice that will require an ice pick to shatter. Not that I’m speaking from experience or anything. 5. Once it’s just right, scoop the granita into a cup or get fancy with a wine glass. Garnish with fruit or even a bit of honey on top, then enjoy! This sounds perfect, and so easy to make!

CUSTOM TEA GIVEAWAY!

Hey guys! I wanted to do something to really kickstart the blog, and I just got a fantastic idea - I want to do a custom Adagio tea giveaway!

The prize will be 3 oz (which is equivalent to 40-50 cups!) of a custom-made blend of loose-leaf, with up to three of the almost 150 available Adagio ingredients.

On top of that, your tea blend will also come with custom artwork!

Here’s some examples of some of the custom art I’ve made for my own blends/blends for friends of mine:

Here are the RULES:

  • You must be following fuck-yeah-tea!
  • You may reblog as many times as you like!
  • You may not reblog to sideblogs or giveaway blogs! That’s not fair, guys. :/
  • You must be comfortable with giving me an address I can send the tea to - otherwise how are you going to get it?
  • The giveaway will end on APRIL 16TH at MIDNIGHT.
  • Winners will be chosen with a random number generator.
  • Please make sure your askbox is open! If I cannot send you an ask telling you that you’ve won, or if you do not respond within two days, I will pick another winner.
  • If you don’t want to pick the ingredients yourself, you can tell me what kinds of tea you like and I’d be happy to make a blend for you.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! Good luck, everyone!

TEA REVIEW: GOOD EARTH SWEET & SPICY Type: Black/Cinnamon Brand: Good Earth Ingredients: Black tea, artificial flavor (oops I forgot to check the ingredients before I bought it whoops I’m a snob please hold me -dies-), rosehips, chamomile, cinnamon, lemongrass, peppermint, jasmine tea, papaya leaves, anise seed, ginger root, orange peel, orange oil.The kitchen sink like seriously what are you guys trying to achieve here calm your tits  Dry Aroma: A little overpowering. The main note is made up of the spices, mostly cinnamon, but the anise is definitely there. Peppermint is a high note, chamomile forms a low base. Orange is there, stings the nose. I have no fucking idea what papaya leaves smell like, so it might be in there and I’m just not picking it up? But anyway, sharp aroma, a little heavyhanded, but the complex notes are there if you can get past the cinnamon. Steep: 4 minutes Brewed Aroma: Rounds out and mellows a LOT. I can smell the lemongrass now - actually, the whole thing just smells “greener” as opposed to spicy. The cinnamon is still the main note, but it blends a lot better now. Everything’s more blended, really, it’s more of a cohesive smell and I can’t really pick out separate notes as well. I just realized my tea reviews are like, stream-of-consciousness. Whoops. Taste: I am going to die This tea is really, really strong. Like, they’re not kidding about spicy. You better LOVE cinnamon, honey. You and cinnamon better be on really, really good terms. It’s also shockingly sweet. It really does taste sweetened … either with agave sweetener or white sugar (except with less aftertaste). In fact, it tastes so sweetened that I’m giving the “artificial flavors” the sideeye. Unless papaya leaves are some kind of secret sweetener I didn’t know about, I don’t see how they could have gotten it to taste like this.I would suggest taking really small sips and letting it wash quickly over your tongue to taste it, because if you take normal mouthfuls or hold it in your mouth too long, the cinnamon just numbs your tongue and makes it hard to taste anything. Sorry guys, I’m trying to pick up more detailed notes, but the cinnamon has already numbed my tongue. I can’t taste for shit. @_@  Overall Rating: 6 out of 10. It would have been higher, because honestly it does taste really good, but the fact that the cinnamon overpowers everything makes it hard to enjoy it as anything more complex than just a normal cinnamon tea. Closing Notes: You definitely don’t need sweetener for this. Milk would be great, though! It would be like a cousin to chai, especially with the sweetness of it. If you don’t like sweetening your tea, this is NOT for you, because it’s so sweet by default. Goes well with ginger cookies!

tasteofexcellence: Half & half boba drinks. I love their humongous cups! I recommend getting the iced green milk tea with boba. It is made with jasmine tea. Also the iced milk drink with egg pudding and honey boba is bomb too!

Alrighty, guys, I have some real treats lined up for my next few reviews!

I bought two more kinds of tea - “sweet and spicy” and peppermint. I also got ginger thins (which are my favorite kind of cookie), almond thins (because I saw them next to the ginger thins and I love almonds), and - the magnificent finale - some Earl Grey infused chocolate. (That fucking chocolate was like $5.50 what am I doing with my life)

Anyway, this should account for most of the reviews over the next week! I realized I’m gonna have to space them out, I don’t have the resources to do two reviews a day. @_@

tea is really expensive guys

guys i’m broke

also i really need to buy a charger so i can take better pictures but guess what i have no money
