Thursday Tea Time



This week - Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice
Cost: $2.99 at Whole Foods
Number of teabags: 20
Caffeine: No
Type of tea: Herbal
Steeping time: 4 minutes
Double-Dipping potential: Didn't try yet, due to enthusiastic kitchen clean up help!
Mix ins: Sugar and milk. I'm certain just a touch of sugar by itself would be delicious, too.
Teabag fragrance: Cinnamon, vanilla, ginger
Ingredients: Cinnamon, roasted chicory, roasted carob, natural spice and vanilla flavors with other natural flavors, ginger, cardamom, black pepper, cloves and nutmeg.
Taste: Like cinnamon toast! It reminds me a lot of Bigelow's Cinnamon tea from the 70's/early 80's
Opinion: Perfect on a gray winter day. According to the box flap, it is Celestial Seasonings' caffeine-free interpretation of Chai (without too much of that pepper bite).
Rating: 4.5 teabags, would definitely buy again!

Sounds like a good one to try. I really enjoy your tea reviews. We bought some of the Christmas ones that you recommended. They were enjoyed.

Thanks! This is definitely a hot tea-drinking time of year, and am having fun trying (and still finding and buying) new ones.
