Yogi Vanilla Spice Perfect Energy I received a bag a of Yogi Vanilla Spice Perfect Energy from my friend Carolyn during one of our “tea swaps.” The company describes this tea as a perfect energy boost. This is a blend of Green Tea and Assam Black Tea, as well as  Ayurvedic herbs Organic Gotu Kola Leaf and Ashwagandha, flavored with vanilla bean and spices. My review: Pretty tasty, smells nice, and is a nice coffee alternative. 7 out of 10. Republic of Tea Blackberry Sage I received a sample of the Republic of Tea Blackberry Sage in their catalogue. This tea is a blend of black tea, fruit, and herbs. Finest quality tea leaves mingle with sweet, fragrant blackberries and cool, soothing white sage.

It’s been a long time since I did a tea review. I have gotten several samples from The Republic of Tea and from my friend at Kitchens| Design and Utilize. The Organic Strawberry Basil Iced Green Tea from The Republic of Tea smells amazing and has a very interesting taste. Their description: This organic, farmers’ market-inspired iced green tea combines sun-ripened strawberries and fresh basil.

Their description: Fine black tea with the juicy flavors of pomegranate and blueberry. …

I actually did a review before and gave it a 7 out of 10. I got a sample in the mail a few months ago and tried it again. This tea isn’t sweet enough for me alone. I have to add a little sweetener. I prefer it cold but it isn’t bad hot. It has a nice flavor but I still think the best flavor to add to green tea is spearmint. See my favorite tea combination here. This Republic Chai Black Tea was interesting. The Republic of Tea calls it Traveler’s Tea. “Rich imperial spices are combined with Northern Indian tea leaves to create a hearty, flavorful cup. Deliciously full-bodied when prepared traditionally; simmered with water, milk & honey.” Initially, I wasn’t sure about it. The smell at first was strange, not bad just …
