Pure Leaf Green Tea with Mint Review
The best of both worlds. A green tea with a light mint taste from real peppermint and none of the bitter mint aftertaste. Pure Leaf incorporates long-leaf, single-origin Indonesian gunpowder green tea coupled with real peppermint leaves to deliver a cool blast of refreshment with a lingering cooling effect. Both peppermint and green tea have a […]
The Drip Tea Royal Uva Tea Review
I picked up The Drip Tea Royal UVA tea on special at my local Asian supermarket. They always get me with the teas near the cash registers and trying a drip tea looked interesting. The store sells a milk tea in bottles from the same brand that is pretty tasty so I assumed it would […]

teapigs Lemon & Ginger (Lazy Days) Tea Review
A naturally caffeine free blend of ginger, lemongrass, lemon peel & licorice root, teapigs Lemon & Ginger (Lazy Days) tea can be served hot or iced and is great for a cold or just relaxing with a cuppa. Unlike many ginger and lemon teas, the teapigs blend is fairly mild. Enough of a kick that […]
