More teas from a tea friend in Canada

Recently I shared about that amazing "goldfish tea" I had received from tea friend Margie in Canada, and this week I got around to finally opening and trying three tea bags she sent me that were so pretty, I simply had to enjoy looking at them for a while! From Basilur, they included White Magic, a truly milky-tasting "milk oolong green tea" (a variety I'd not heard of); Strawberry & Kiwi, which tasted like a juicy piece of fruit-flavored candy; and the Exotic blend, which was a fruity, richly sweet tea. I enjoyed them all!

And yet I have to say, is this White Magic tea bag packet with roses not the prettiest thing ever? Basilur tea is from Sri Lanka but can be purchased on Amazon. I'm glad this tea is so delicious, because I think this tea bag packet is just the loveliest one I have ever received and I'd hate for it to surround a tea that wasn't worthy of such packaging! Have any of you tried Basilur tea? If so, got any more flavors to recommend? I loved the ones from Margie!

  3. I have tasted this brand of tea in the past, but don't remember what I thought of them. I think they were exhibiting one year at the World Tea Expo. The roses on that package are quite beautiful.

  4. Margie sent me some too, and I agree...the packages are definitely the prettiest...as well as very tasty!

  5. I'm so glad that you enjoyed the teas, Angela! I had purchased the Basilur Tea at the Toronto Tea Festival, but I've seen them at HomeSense...so maybe they'll pop up at your local HomeGoods!

  6. That is new to me. Did you save the package to do something crafty?

  7. You did it to me again. After reading your post, I ordered some White Magic. How could I pass up that tea -- the name is too "magical"! :)
