I'm pretty excited because Davids Tea came out with their Spring Collection for 2014 last week! Knowing how much I love tea, my aunty (being super thoughtful) picked some up for me. I finally have the chance to try them out! Today I'm going to make a cup of Blue Lagoon.
It's an herbal tea which means caffeine free! Though I love my black and oolong teas, I always like keeping a lookout for new herbal teas that I really like. Since I'm fairly caffeine sensitive, I can't drink teas with caffeine at night. Most of the teas I own has caffeine so it's always nice to get a new herbal one to sip on before bed.
This herbal's ingredients are:
The steep time is about 4-7 minutes. With herbal teas I often let it steep for longer than the recommended time because I like stronger teas. The good thing about herbal teas is that it's hard to over-steep it. In saying that, beware of over-steeping any tea with hibiscus. Letting them steep for too long can cause it to become very bitter.
I like that this tea is a violet color which makes its name even more fitting. I found that it was extremely refreshing. It's light and fruity with a hint of zest from the lemongrass. I enjoyed it hot but would definitely like to try it iced next time to see the difference.
Cleo came to see if she could help me out. I was able to handle it on my own but it was nice to know she was there for moral support.
