Taster’s Review:

Subscription boxes are the thing these days.  I myself subscribe to a few.  The one that intrigues me the most is ChaHoney, a monthly subscription plan that basically does your tea shopping for you.  ChaHoney doesn’t blend their own tea yet instead looks for those amazing teas that you might have overlooked here or there.  Each month features a different company.  I just love this idea and hope to become a member soon.  But first I need to sipdown some teas (this will be #33!!).

I’m almost finished with this first box from ChaHoney that I received.  I’m quite impressed with the teas I’ve had so far.  The company that was featured was Tribute Teas.  You’d think I would have tried them by now since they are in my home state but alas no.  Shame on me.

This oolong right out of the gate smelled decadent and romantic.  I can absolutely pick up notes of lilacs.  I love lilacs and am happy just to sit around enjoy the aroma from this tea. So beautiful.

I let this tea sit for just a moment and then took my first sip. Gorgeous! Simply gorgeous, romantic and exactly what I needed today.  This tea is everything you could ask for and more.  Irresistible floral notes paired with hints of a sweetness that I would compare to an apricot.  The description is spot on.  I am incredibly impressed and next payday, this one will need to be re-ordered.

I am simply in love with this floral roasted sweet apricot loving oolong!  I can absolutely see this tea being one that you drink while you get lost in a good book. This is my favorite Tribute Tea to date!
