To Life Blend
Name: To Life Blend
Kathy's Rating: 6.0/10.0
Company: Teavana
Origin of tea: China
Price: $10/2 oz.
Tea form: Loose white and green tea with scented rooibos.
What they say: An invigorating union of red, white, and green teas. combines the aroma of Rooibos Tropica, health benefits of rare Silver Needle and soothing undertone of Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls. Virtually no caffine. Good for multiple infusions.
Preparation method: Pour slightly below boiling water over leaves and infuse for 2-2.5 minutes.
Review: This is a very interesting blend. Silver needle white tea is very light and mild by itself, but in this case, has been supplemented by jasmine green tea and rooibos scented with orange peel. Actually, I think the bulk of the flavor comes from orange peel. I didn't like this infusion too much, but I should say that I'm not a fan of orange peel flavoring. As far as Teavana's signature blends go, I liked Empress of China much better. However, if you are a fan of orange-scented teas, this tea will likely make you happy.
