More road trip teas from Teavana

I've been in Texas all week with my sister, and as we were arriving on Sunday, just outside of Fort Worth, we stopped at the convenience store to top all convenience stores, the incredible Buc-ee's.

I wondered whether they would have some more of those delicious Teavana teas like I got on my last road trip, and boy, did they — any flavor I could have wanted!

I had good luck with the unsweetened green tea I got on my last road trip, so this time, I got the Peach Nectarine Green Tea. Only, when we got to the car, I realized I had just purchased *sparkling* green tea! It was quite delicious, and although it wasn't exactly what I thought I was getting (because it was, frankly, even better), I was pleased. I sure wish I had a Buc-ee's near me so that I could try all the Teavana teas on their display! (And coming next week: a few places where I unexpectedly found tea in Texas.)

Taking "tea" on the road

Scrolling through my iPhone photos this week, I realized I'd taken a couple of tea photos on my recent trip to North Carolina that I meant to share here. First, I wasn't hungry for a full lunch while at the mall in Cary, North Carolina, one day, so instead I decided to just treat myself to a chai frappuccino, which I believe I got at Jet's Coffee. I wasn't sure about having cold chai, but this was delicious and definitely served as my sweet treat for the day!

Alex and I also like to check out the nice new gas station/convenience store centers along the way when we need a snack or drink. This time, I found a new Teavana bottled tea, this unsweetened Strawberry Apple Green Tea. I've tried lots of bottled teas over the years, and this one tasted like tea that I make for myself at home. I think it helped that there were no wonky-tasting sweeteners. Lesson learned, and I'll be looking for this tea again.

I know tea lovers like to try new tearooms when they travel, but do any of you like to try new teas and tea treats on road trips? I sure do, and I've got another road trip planned soon, so I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for more new teas along the way.
