Union Jack from Lupicia…where do I start? I wasn’t able to find this on the Lupicia USA Site or Shop but I did see it on the Australian Shop/Site and I thought it was worth a mention regardless! Why? Because it’s one of the most intense black teas I have had in a while that also happens to be in a silken bag!
Lupicia Australia says this can be enjoyed with or without milk….of course I never add milk to any of the teas I drink. As many of you know I am a Dairy-Free type of gal but also I like my teas straight-up with nothing else to interfere with the glorious leaves!
Union Jack from Lupicia is considered a flavored black tea on their product description but it’s a rich, full-bodied blend of Ceylon and Kenyan black teas. The blend of black teas used in the base perfectly encapsulates the taste of a traditional English tea. With little bitterness, it makes for an ideal everyday tea and I would completely agree!
This was a hearty, hefty, strong, bold kick in the pants when I drank it and a wonderful way to start the day!
Here’s the scoop!

Darjeeling The Second Flush from Lupicia. . . . .
Darjeeling – The Second Flush certainly grabbed my attention as I was trying to decide which black tea to start my day off with recently. It was then I noticed Darjeeling The Second Flush was one of the Lupicia teas I still had yet to try!
When it comes to a Darjeeling – what can you really say that hasn’t already been said? Many of us know that Darjeeling is considered to be or often called the Champagne of Teas. This specific Darjeeling was Lupicia special blend using summer-plucked Darjeeling. It was fresh and fruity and crisp. Just what I was looking for in a Darjeeling and in a morning tea not too long ago!
Another thing that is notable here with this tea is that it is ONLY available in Lupicia’s online store and Hawaii store.
So if you’re a Darjeeling fan you are going to want to look into this tasty tea! It’s Lupicia’s Darjeeling The Second Flush. Is it calling YOU like it was calling ME? It just might be!

Ginger & Lemon Myrtle from Lupicia. . . . .
Ginger & Lemon Myrtle is a Rooibos and Honeybush blend that I was recently blown away by and it’s rare if I’m this excited about a red rooibos based tisane!
Perhaps it was because of the honeybush addition. Or maybe it is simply because I’m CRAZY for Lemon Myrtle. The possibility of the gentle ginger had something to do with it, too!
The ginger wasn’t overdone. It was more in the background. It was a nice, natural enhancement to the overall flavor and not the focus of the flavor. The Lemon Myrtle really shined here. The rooibos and honeybush blended base offered a nice sweetness to it but was more than ‘just’ a red rooibos base. Regardless this was pretty dandy if you ask me.
I do like this just the way it is – however – I am curious how it would taste if there was crystallized lemon peel or ginger, too! YUM!
Here’s the scoop!

Tokio from Lupicia. . . . .
With all of the tea I have consumed over the years I have had very little from Lupicia believe it or not. I’m happy to say that we have some new Lupicia reviews coming up VERY SOON starting with this one…Tokio from Lupicia!
I think this was one of the first Lupicia teas I actually tried years and years ago. I thought I had already reviewed it here at Sororitea Sisters but I was mistaken. So NOW is as good as time as any, I suppose!
Tokio from Lupicia is a green tea with sweet berries. And guess what it DOESN’T have? Hibiscus! YAY! A berry flavored tea with NO Hibiscus! I could not be more excited! This tea also has marigold petals. Together they pose a very crisp tasting flavored green tea. The green tea is on the sweeter side all by itself but the berry and floral notes are a secondary flavor. They aren’t overpowering the green tea base and I LOVE that!
It’s sweet, it’s juicy, it’s berry, it’s floral, it’s refreshing, and it’s SUPER tasty! YUM! Totally terrific hot or cold! Tokio from Lupicia is a real winner!

Cassis & Blueberry from Lupicia
I’ve been ‘sitting on this’ review for a while. Not because I didn’t LOVE the tea – because I clearly DID – it’s because I didn’t want to throw the empty bag away. Seriously!
Cassis & Blueberry from Lupicia is a heavily flavored black tea. It’s flavored with Blueberry and Cassis…in case you don’t know what Cassis is…it’s usually a liquor made from black currants.
This flavored black tea is sweet and tart and my FAVORITE PART is that the sweet and tart come from the blueberry and currants and NOT hibiscus! Woot! NO hibiscus! I’ll say it again…NO HIBISCUS!
You can genuinely taste the fruity flavor. But with the black tea base it’s like the BEST of both worlds…a true black tea with yummy fruit. It’s not overly tart – just the right amount of tart. The tart that is present is counteracted nicely by the sweet. The flavor ratios are perfect!
This fruit flavored black tea is right up my alley…can’t they all be like this? I guess not…but I’m glad this one is! Cassis & Blueberry from Lupicia is a HIT with me! YUM!
And just for our readers, mention SororiTea Sisters when you check out from Lupicia and they will throw in a special treat!
