Tea Granny

Time to celebrate the Fall! 

Black Tea 

I really hope that this tea comes back this Fall, I miss it so much. 

Ingredients: Black tea, cinnamon, cloves, lemon peel, squash, carrot, caramel, pumpkin candies, natural and artificial flavouring.

I can always imagine myself in my fall colours, with a warm scarf around my neck, one of my favourite cardigan on, sipping this pumpkin chai tea. Just perfection in a cup.

- 1 1/2 tsp per cup

- Steep 4-6 min in 98C water

Allergens: Dairy & Soy

Beautiful chai tea, just a perfect balance of spice with sweet.

Herbal infusion        

Certified organic 

Ingrdients: peppermint, lemongrass, hibiscus, rosehips, chamomile, valerian root, cornflowers, peppermint flavouring.

I wish that I tried this tea three years ago when I started going to DavidsTea. This tea as become one of my favourite teas, I have at least one cup of it every night before bed. It always puts me in a relaxing mood, and ready for bed. I give this tea 5 cups of tea out of 5!

It has a real herbal taste to this tea, because that's all that makes it.. no chocolate or candy... just natural herbs. It's super yummy, plus the valerian has amazing super powers to put you to sleep. 

- 1 1/4 tsp per 240ml of hot water

- Steep 4-7 min in 96C water 

Matcha Drinking Mix

The Matcha drinking mix is a great deal at DavidsTea, because it has Sugar Cane and Matcha together... so it is way cheaper I believe it is about $5.00 for 100 grams. 

What you will need to make Matcha!

-- Matcha Tea Whisk

-- Matcha Bowl

-- Matcha Spoon

-- Place 1 Matcha Spoon of matcha into your bowl.

-- Pour in about 80 ml of hot water (72C)

-- Run your whisk under water, then whisk together the matcha and hot water until there are no clumps and a fine froth develops on top (20 seconds)

And the matcha is ready! And if you would like to make it a latte.....

You froth the milk!!! :D

And add the milk to the matcha

Complete! 

A Perfect Matcha Latte

Pink Lemonade (rooibos)

Ing: Hibiscus, mango, rooibos, lemon peel, lemon mrytle, lemongrass, stevia, cornflower petals, natural and artificial flavouring.

-1 1/4 tsp per cup

- Steep 4-5 min in 98C water

So I have to say that was I totally afraid of trying this tea... because I don't like tart tasting teas. But after my first cup, it was love at first sip. I totally think that I will be drinking this tea iced everyday this summer! Plus, it's sweet so you don't need to add anything to it. BEST ICE TEA EVER!

Bollywood Chai (Davidstea)

Ing: Black tea, fennel candy, ginger, cinnamon, cardamon, pink peppercorns, natural flavouring.

- 1 1/4 tsp per cup.

- Steep 5 min in 98C water.

One of the best teas at Davidstea! I'm not sure what about it is so much better than normal chai tea, but it is for some reason. I love this tea with a little bit of 1% milk and a little bit of honey, and a great book.

I give this 5 cups of tea out of 5!

Fantasy Island (Davidstea) Black Tea

Ing: Black tea, coconut flakes, freeze-dried raspberries, natural flavouring.

- 1 1/2 tsp per cup

- Steep for 4-6 min in 98C

I have waited a while to try this tea,  because I don't like the taste of raspberry in Chocolate Rocket from Davidstea. But I must say that I really enjoy the raspberry in this tea, it has a beautiful balance with the coconut that makes this one of my favourite in the morning.

    I will be getting a tin of this the next visit at Davidstea. I'm very happy that I tried this one after all.

So what I have been doing since the last time that I posted... (Almost a year)

- I have moved to London, ON.

- I have three cats living with me now.

- I will be starting Respiratory Therapy in the Fall at Fanshawe College.(Super excited)

- Working at Victoria's Secret.

David's Tea Checkmate (White Tea)

Ing: Black tea, white tea, coconut, Roman chamomile, artificial flavouring.

- 1 1/4 tsp per cup

- Steep 4-5 min in 98C water

This tea was nothing like I thought it would be, the sales associate at David's Tea told me that it would taste like hot chocolate..... It doesn't taste like any hot chocolate I have ever tasted before. It is a beautiful tea, with a little hint of coconut. I really like this for after dinner or in the afternoon! 

I didn't like it iced, I felt that it was too tea leaf like. It is tasty when hot, and I will probably be buying a tin of this tea. But again, not one for the summer for a ice tea.

So my super awesome boyfriend got me a milk frother for our 3 year anniversary!!!!!

It is amazing!!!!!!

Now I can make tea lattes anytime i want!!!!!!
