My Review of World Teas in a Hand Carved Box, India
Originally submitted at Cost Plus World Market
World Market Exclusive! Tea is the most popular beverage in the world, so it makes sense that our search for the best discoveries would include a selection of quality, plantation-grown loose leaf tea. In a one-of-a-kind hand carved tea box with a wooden spoon, tea strainer and three of India's ...
I bought World Teas India It was great

Pros: Attractive Design, Durable, Nice small sections, Easy To Clean
Best Uses: Assam great for breakfast, Everyday Use
Describe Yourself: Tea Drinker and Writer
This assortment of teas is a great way to try out teas that are new to you in small amounts. The Assam is wonderful for breakfast. Wakes you up better than coffee. The gingered Assam was very interesting, and the Darjeeling delicate and fruity.
I like that the box comes with an infuser and a little wooden teaspoon. The box is definitely reusable for things like new tea in small amounts, sorting beads or buttons, or anything you want to sort. My only concern is that the box isn't really airtight and so the tea must be used quickly

World Tea East opens today
I wish I could be there. They have winners from the World Tea Championship and other major tea producers on exhibit as well as education on the tea business, everything for food pairing to how tea impacts the world ecology and economy. You can find my article about it here. Rishi Tea sent me two of their artisan organic fair trade teas to review. I loved them both. The Tropical Crimson is bright red and looks as though it would be sweet and fruity, but it really tastes more floral. The scent reminded me of the hibiscus flowers that grew in my yard when I was growing up. I checked the label, and sure enough, hibiscus was the main ingredient. That's not uncommon in herbal teas, but it's usually masked by the stronger herbal flavors. I really enjoyed being able to smell and taste the hibiscus in this one.

Earl Grey
For breakfast this morning I drank Twinings Earl Grey tea. I love the aroma of Earl Grey. I wish they would make Earl Grey scented candles or potpourri. I suppose I could put out some Earl Grey in a dish, but then I'd hate to waste tea that I could drink instead.
So, after I brewed my tea, I sat in my big chair and sniffed it for a while. I love to just breath in the fragrance of the tea before I drink it. I think it's essential to the tea-drinking experience.
I have several articles I want to write for Tea Examiner. I don't know where to start. I guess with the review of the Rishi artisan iced tea mixes they sent me. They were really lovely. The Tropical Crimson looked as though it would be sweet and fruity, but it wasn't. I was mellow and herbal, smooth. More later. One of my cats is trying to rub my face off. She either wants attention or food.
