Impressive tea

[Pyper]

A vanilla caramel tea sounds rather nice. I have a real thing at the moment for the black flavoured/spiced teas.

I get most of my looseleaf tea from The Tea Centre (Quite a few shops around Australia and online ordering). They have a shop in my local shopping centre, and it smells soo nice. They also have tastings and are happy for you to ask to sniff any teas that take your fancy.

I love the Autumn Spice (Orange peel, apple, rose, cinnamon and cloves), Glogg (cinnamon, orange, almond, ginger, cloves and cardamon) and the Ritz Carlton (caramel, vanilla, apricot, cornflowers and calendula blossoms). I get them in black teas, but I know at least the Glogg comes in a green tea as well.

That Glogg and Ritz Carlton sound delicious!

God, I'm going to have to go hit the tea shop soon aren't I?

There's one near me that do one called Amaretto that's got rose hips, amaretto-y tasting stuff that's a black tea. Its great too. Although when I'm out I usually try to find what they call "Apple loves Mint" which has pretty much what it sounds like in it. For some reason, apple tea just makes me feel a warm and happy inside.

I've been on a jasmine green tea kick for a while now. It's very soothing and reminds me of spring. Most of the teas I adore are seasonal and hard to find like celestial seasonings sugar plum fairy. Or ones that they decide to stop carrying before I can stock up. So I'm hoping a fellow tea fan might be able to help with this question. Does anyone know of a brand that makes a nice plum flavored tea? Preferably green tea but I'll take black as well. If mail order I need someone who ships to Canada. Any help is appreciated.

Honestly, outside of asian countries (Japan especially) plum teas are super hard to find.
I would however suggest an oolong by Zhi Tea. Its a deeper plum flavour than most scented teas, so if you want something light, its probably not your bag.
I also hear they do a nice plum black too, but I'm not a fan of hibiscus, so I've not tried it.

I do love hibiscus so that sounds very promising. I appreciate the help and will be hunting for both suggestions. Thank you, Lord Libidan.

No problem.

I wonder, is anyone here part of steepster? Thought about joining a few times, but never got around to it...

[Remy]

I've never even heard of it but am curious. Would you happen to have a link for it?
