Teas:
(Listed by Brand, blend. Dates indicate that I drank at least one full mug of the tea.)

1.Stash Teas of India, Kolili Assam black. 10/1/2007.
2.Stash, Double spice chai black tea. 10/2/2007.
3.Stash Yama Moto Yama, Ginger Tea. 10/2/2007. Green tea blended with ginger root. Very gingery but good.
4.Stash premium, Vanilla Chai decaf tea. 10/8/2007. Tastes similar to the blended chai lattes you get in coffee shops. Very sweet.
5.Stash Teas of India, Nigiri Black.
6.Stash Premium, Irish breakfast black tea. 10/12/2007.
7.Twinnings of London, Mary Twinning Spiced Tea. 10/10/2007. as the package says, lovely light golden tea.
8.Twinnings of London classics, Lady Grey Tea. 10/9/2007. Lighter and more citrus than earl grey. Pleasant taste.
9.Yogi Tea, black Chai. 6/16/2007. It had cloves in it. It made my tongue go numb.
10.Stash Teas of India, Darjeeling Spring. 10/11/2007. Quite nutty.
11.Stash Teas of India, Darjeeling Summer. 10/12/2007. kind of wheat flavored.
12. Twinnings of London, Ceylon Tea. 10/23/2007.
13. Stash Premium, English breakfast decaf tea. 10.23.2007 - honestly, tastes the same as the english breakfast regular. which is as it should be.
14. Stash Premium, Wild Blackcurrant herbal tea. 10.24.2007
15. Wellcat Herbs (from the stand at the Renaissance Faire), Assam BOP Tea. 10/28.2007. Somewhat woody flavor, not the best.
16. Tetley, British Blend. 12/3/2007. Quite bitter. I don't like it. The rest of the box is being sent to a Gather friend.
17. Tetley, Clasic Blend.
18. Red Rose, original. This is what I drink when I don't care. Yes, I buy it for the little figurines.
19. Twinnings. Herbal Revive: cherries and madagascan cinnamon. 12.26.2007. It has this really odd Butter scent when you brew it and it needs a sweetener or it's kind of bitter but other than that, it is quite good.
20.Stash Premium. Lemon Blossom herbal tea. 12.28.2007. It brews to this beautiful sunflower yellow color. A pleasant lemony tea. Quite good with honey.
21.Stash Premium, Orange Starfruit herbal tea. 12.29.2007. Too much chamomile for my taste.
22.Stash Premium, Christmas Eve herbal tea. 12.31.2007 Tasty - chai spices with peppermint. Very good.
23.Stash Premium, Christmas Morning. 12.31.2007 A plain black tea. Not special, but not bad.
24.Stash Premium, Holiday Chai. 1.2.2008 Tastes like gingerbread - delicious!
25.Numi, Aged Earl Grey. 12.30.2007 "Certified organic and fair trade". Not bad.
26.Browne & Ashley Tea co, Lemon flavored green tea. 12.31.2007 part of one of those big gift tin sets. Not bad, but not real high quality. The tea would get bitter fast if you left the tea bag in too long. Still, the flavoring wasn't too strong - you could still tell it was tea.

32.Celestial Seasonings, Honey Gensing Green tea. 2.18.2008
33. Stash Yama Moto Yama, China Oolong Tea. 2.25.2008. lovely.
34. Tea Forte, Vienna Cinnamon. 3.30.2008. Tasty but the best part is the shape of the tea bag. Seriously - If you haven't seen them you must visit www.teaforte.com to see them. Favors from Bry's wedding.
35. Tazo, Joy. 4.3.2008 "blended black green and oolong teas. A limited-release holiday blend of rare delicate teas." From swapbot. Interesting. Better without milk.
