Tulsi, also known as Holy Basil, is an outstanding ingredient. This Tulsi tea from Organic India is very calming and eases tense muscles. Whenever I'm feeling anxious or strained, I go for a cup of Tulsi tea. You definitely taste and smell the basil and jasmine. It's a lovely combination. 

Naturally caffeine free and certified organic, this is the tea to purchase and enjoy! I bought this at Whole Foods for about $7. You can also order this tea online at Amazon.com.

Citrus Sunburst is another tea from Tiesta Teas. You can observe the dried fruit pieces, and smell the fruity and pleasant scent. You can taste the orange and citrus notes all throughout the tea. The aroma fills the surrounding area, and the taste is powerful and robust. 

I love that you can see the large morsels of oranges, and other various dried fruits. This tea claims to boost your immunity. So,  I would assume, that if you're feeling 'under the weather,' try a cup of this tea! If you add a little honey, this may be helpful with allergies. 

You can purchase this tea for $3.50 an ounce at your local Safeway. Or you can order online and Amazon.com.

Appearance: Green/light brown

Leaf Color: Green

Temp: Best if brewed at 175F 

Amount: 1 tsp per cup

Aroma: Earthy, Fruity, and Vegetal

Depth: Light/Medium

Fruity Pebbles is a flavored green tea from Tiesta Teas. The interesting thing about this tea, is that the after taste, does have the flavor of fruity pebbles! Fruity Pebbles is a nice, light tea that has a slightly vegetal taste, with a sweet fruit flavor. The label says that it is a Strawberry Pineapple Green tea. 

When it comes to Caffeine, it's medium. It also claims to be a 'slenderizer' and helps you with weight. I have not yet tried it as a weight-loss tea. 

It costs $2.50 per ounce. Make sure you steep for about 1-3 minutes. any longer can make the tea bitter and unpalatable. You can see delicate flower petals, and dehydrated fruit pieces. I unquestionably propose this tea.

Temp: Best if brewed at 195-200F 

Amount: 1 tea bag per cup

Aroma: Earthy and robust

Depth: Deep

ZENDO is a marvelous tea for those on a diet. This herbal tea is best, in my opinion, served with a sweetener. It has a very dark and hardy flavor. When I'm dieting, I always reach for this tea. It helps clean out your system, and is a great accompaniment to your diet. 

It does have a rather interesting flavor... I would say, that it is not everyone's cup of tea! ;) 

I found this at Safeway for about $3. You can find it at most grocery stores.

I've seen a documentary on Pure Leaf teas, and they really care about their products. This particular tea can be served hot or cold, and sweetened or unsweetened. Pure Leaf provides us with high quality teas, in sachets. The triangular sachets allow the tea to expand, and doesn't hinder its brewing process. 

The flavor is fruity and has a nice punch of peach. As it brews, you can smell the peach from many feet away! I got this container of tea bags for about $4.50 at Safeway. You can find it at most grocery stores. 

Pure Leaf is very obsessed with sustainability. They use hydro-electric power and use tea from Rainforest Alliance Certified tea estates. They use tea from India, Indonesia, and Kenya.

Tea Review: Blueberry Slim Life by Yogi

Flavor: fruity, light

Appearance: In a tea bag

Leaf Color: No leaves visible 

Temp: Best if brewed at 175F

Amount: 1 bag per cup

Aroma: Fruity

Depth: Light

Quality: High

The Blueberry Slim Life is a great tea from Yogi. Yogi provides its consumers with high quality teas, in convenient tea bags. It claims to energize and support a dieting program. My opinion is.. it does!!! If I drink a couple cups of this tea, it helps clean out my system. The one thing I like about this tea, is that it doesn't upset my stomach. Lots of teas that claim to help with your diet, often cause stomach pains or other uncomfortable side effects. You can pick up this tea from most grocery stores. I found this one at Safeway. I paid about $4 for this box. 

This tea definitely tastes like blueberry. It is a great dessert tea, and tastes fantastic with honey or agave. The tea has a slight purple color to it, after it has steeped. 

This tea was a delight! 

Tea Review: Ginger Sweet Peach Tiesta Teas

Appearance: Lots of fruit chunks, yellow and orange

Leaf Color: No leaves

Temp: Best if brewed at 200F 

Amount: 2 tsp per cup.

Aroma: fruity

Depth: Medium/Dark

Quality: High

I adore this tea! It has a nice peach-y aroma and flavor. You get a slight hint of ginger. It doesn't overwhelm the tea. This tea can be served with sweetener, or just by itself. The dried fruit in this tea makes it just sweet enough, so you don't have to use honey, stevia, agave, etc etc. Tiesta Tea is a fantastic tea maker! Their loose leaf teas are of high quality, and their prices are affordable. It's very important that teas are affordable, because that way.. everyone can enjoy them!! I purchased this tea for about $2.50-3.00 an ounce. You can find this tea at your local Safeway, or online @Amazon.com
