"Calm. Promotes a balanced mood," said the Twinings box. Well, what woman couldn't use that?
This tea, while a new blend, was on sale for just $1.99 a box at Ollie's last week, and the Fig and Vanilla combination sounded like one that I would enjoy.
I always award extra points for individually wrapped tea bags, because that makes these perfect for sharing or tucking into a card for a fellow tea lover.
I don't believe I'd ever heard of ashwagandha root until seeing it listed as an ingredient in that wellness tea I tried last month, but now I'm seeing ashwagandha root everywhere (three times this week alone). I'm not sure which taste notes it's contributing to this tea, but I can tell you that the sweetness from the fig and vanilla flavors gave this tea a richness and sweetness that immediately made me go, "Ah! A dessert tea!" If I see some more of this blend the next time I'm at Ollie's, I'll be stocking up!
The price was certainly right to give that a try! And it sounds delicious. A good cup of tea is calming to me, no matter which type. Enjoy!

DeleteGlad this tea was good. I saw that at Ollies but I don't like Rooibos so I didn't buy any. I've also noticed ashwagandha in lots of things recently. Maybe it's the trendy ingrediant for 2022.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're such an adventurous tea-taster, Angela! I enjoy reading your comments about teas that I never would have tried myself. I'm not a big fan of fig-flavored things, but I'm happy that you liked this one.
