Honeybear Green Chai From Tattle Tea

Like I've mentioned before, green tea is one of my favorite hot drinks. Other than a bit of Earl Gray Green Tea, I pretty well stick to the 100% pure tea versions. This Honeybear Green Chai From Tattle Tea is my first experience brewing any type of Chai so I'm pretty excited to try it out.

According to the Tattle Tea web site, this Chai has ingredients of Sencha green tea, cinnamon, clove, cardamom, ginger, anise, fennel, coriander, plus it's flavored with salted caramel and honey.

Once the container is opened, this Chai is remarkably aromatic. Aromas of sweet honey, fennel, cloves and cinnamon quickly fill the room.

After adding hot water and steeping for 3 minutes, the resulting liquid is a slightly cloudy peridot green in color and the aroma has changed a bit. I thought the steeped Chai had a nice "warm apple pie" aroma. The first sips were fantastic, the Chai was sweet with a hint of saltiness, a light mouthfeel and a fresh palate wash. Once it cooled a bit the other flavors began coming out. First it was the cloves, then nuances of anise, fennel and honey.

As a first experience with Chai, this was a good one and I'm probably hooked now. The aroma was fantastic and the flavors were clean. This Honeybear Green Chai is a limited edition tea, so get it while you can, its only available during Chai Fest 2014.

Eight O'Clock Coffee The Original

This sample of Eight O'Clock Coffee , "The Original", came right off the supermarket shelf the other day. It's a medium roast blend that included a large volume of broken and partial beans. Actually, I was surprised by the volume of broken beans as I poured each sample into the grinder. When the bag was opened, to the nose there were rich aromas of toast and coffee, while the pour-over aromas were a mix of cocoa and warm bread. I brewed and sampled four cups of The Original to be sure of my tasting notes. On the Eight O'Clock web site they list this coffee as "sweet, fruity and well balanced." Like most other coffee reviews that's not exactly what I found. In my samples there were semi-sweet flavors of toast, nuts and earth, with a hint of cocoa as the coffee cooled. I found the coffee clean and well balanced with a medium bodied, slightly dry mouth feel. Overall, The Original, from Eight O'Clock coffee brewed a flavorful rewarding cup

Tryst No. 2 Robusto Brandy E-Cigar

Featuring e-juice made in the USA, these Tryst e-cigars are a pretty sweet deal. The No. 2 Robusto Brandy is another great example of a cigarette alternative that give me cigar-like satisfaction indoors or wherever I can't smoke a real cigar. Like the last Tryst reviews, I've been puffing on the No. 2 the past two days while writing. Other than its brandy flavor, this Brandy model is just like the the other No. 2's. The tapered head makes it easy to hold hands-free between your teeth, the wrapper is durable showing no signs of wear, it produces a large volume of vapor and the brandy flavored e-juice tastes fantastic. You probably know I'm not much of a flavored cigar person, but these American made e-juices from Tryst have fantastic flavor, this brandy is really close to tasting like brandy. I've tried other flavored e-cigarette products in the past and the flavors don't compare at all to the Tryst e-cigar flavors. Add together the great taste, the
