Hm, that would be interesting to try, considering the only two hot beverages I drink are coffee and mate. It kind of disturbs me though that there's no green in the picture...

You should try pure mate though, the bitterness gets a little getting used to though. I like my coffee black though so I guess I'm just a bitter beverage kind of guy.

Ah yeah. I'm not big on bitter. I know Black tea is bitter, to me anyway, but the Mate I had wasn't bad. It had an interesting earthiness to it that I really liked. It had a really subtle chocolate note as well which was really nice.

The way you two talk about it you really make me want to try it out.
But as I said, these shops are rare here. I Could try a reform thingy.. If that's still there.

Just had a nice cup of jasmine but I've been drinking a lot of Sleepytime lately. That stuff has an amazing flavor.

Definitely do so! Well, if you can. Teavana ships internationally. I'm sure there's other Tea sites but I don't know them. I had no idea there was anything like this. It's all new to me!

I'll have to try that again. I tried that one and Chamomile. I definitely didn't like the Chamomile one. It was too mellow for my liking, and my stepmom put too much sweetner. It tasted like mellow sugar water with some florals.

Sleepytime does have chamomile in it, but there's a lot of other flavors too, like peppermint, lemon grass, bunch of others...

Awesome tea.

I bought 2 different teas: Imperial Acai Blueberry (white) and Rooibos Tropica. Rooibos Tropica wasn't for me, as it was a bit too earthy. Almost like Oolong! Imperial Acai Blueberry on the other hand, is amazing. This is their site:

Teavana | Buy Tea Online: Green tea, Oolong tea, Black tea, White tea, Herbal tea and more!

Teavana! I love that place! Not only do they have some awesome tea blends, but they also have some beautiful tea cups and tea pots to boot.

Last time I was there I bought the Wild Orange Blossom Herbal Tea:

So very wonderful. Perfect right before bed.

Found a new earl grey I can recommend :) Hampstead Tea's Organic Fairtrade Earl Grey tea. If there are any Earl Grey fans out there, you should check it out if you have the chance. It's quite fruity and fresh, but with a lot of taste and it's basically the best brand I've tried in quite some time. We found it at this health store my GF wanted to visit.

I've gotten into ginger and lemon tea lately, it's best for me with a little bit of honey!
