Thursday Tea Time - C.S. Lewis and Me

This week - Tea Embassy "C.S. Lewis Tea Blend"

While visiting the Whole Foods mothership (80,000 square feet!) in Austin last week, I sought and found some interesting teas, one of which was this.  It grabbed my attention, C.S. Lewis tea?!  And right on the label, "Goes well with a book"?!
Sold me!


Cost:  $6.49 at Whole Foods (525 North Lamar, Austin)
Number of teabags: N/A this is a 2 ounce resealable bag.
One teaspoon brews a great mugful.
Caffeine:  Yes
Type of tea:   Black/Assam
Steeping time:  5 minutes
Add ins:  Fat-Free Half & Half and Sweet Bliss
Tea fragrance:   Slightly flowery - "Irish Breakast"
Ingredients:   Black Indian Assam tea blend
Opinion:   Each Whole Foods will carry different products and product lines.  I had heard about this tea and was delighted to see a good amount of shelf real estate space devoted to this company.  This is an excellent, go-to tea when you just want *tea*.  In fact, I plan to go back to Austin and pick up some more!   (It is also available on their website online and by telephone)
