Everyone has been hearing, for a while now, the healthy benefits of drinking green tea. If you have been thinking about trying green tea, I have what might be your perfect introduction: the Citron Green tea from Adagio Teas, a wonderful combination of Chinese green teas and lemon and lime flavors.
The Cirtron Green tea from Adagio Teas steeps to a beautiful pale green color. When you first open the tin, the lemon and lime aromas are very noticeable. However, when done steeping, you notice only a mild citrus scent, with just a hint of the 2 flavors in the background of the green tea taste, leaving a slightly sweet aftertaste.
This is a delicious entry into the world of green teas. I definitely suggest trying the Citron Green tea from Adagio Teas. I think you'll like the taste and I'm sure you'll enjoy the healthy benefits of this very pleasant green tea.

Herbal teas come in many types and flavor combinations. Because herbal teas are usually made from "non-tea" ingredients, most are caffeine-free. A truly memorable herbal tea is one that combines flavors in a way that makes you just keep coming back for another cup. Such is the Mayan Chocolate Truffle tea from Mighty Leaf Tea.
The Mayan Chocolate Truffle tea from Mighty Leaf Tea combines small chunks of apple, strawberry and chocolate with cacoa nibs and tiny flecks of chilis and red peppers. The resulting taste is really different and really good. It's ideal for anytime of the day, but especially as a dessert tea. The taste of the chocolate really finishes nicely, giving it a sweet aftertaste with just a bit of a spicy bite from the chilis and the subtle lingering fruitiness of the apple and strawberry bits.
I love this herbal tea and I think you'll also enjoy it. I definitely suggest the Mayan Chocolate Truffle tea. It's part of a 6 tin loose leaf chocolate flavored tea sampler set from Mighty Leaf Tea.

As it steeps, my kitchen begins to fill with the aroma of the holidays. Just like the smell of turkey, dressing and pumpkin pie remind me of Thanksgiving, the smell of an apple pie baking in the oven reminds me of Christmas. So it is with the wonderful aroma of the Rooibos Cinnamon Apple tea from Adagio Teas. Yet, that's only the beginning.
This wonderful blend of cinnamon, apple and South African red rooibos tea almost tastes like liquid apple pie. Add some sugar and you're there. It steeps to a beautiful reddish brown color and tastes like dessert, due to it's sweet aftertaste. Because it's caffeine-free, you can enjoy it anytime. I know I will be serving this with dessert when friends come by for dinner. It also makes a very tasty iced-tea.
You definitely want to try the Rooibos Cinnamon Apple tea from Adagio Teas. I can see this becoming one of our year-round favorites, especially during the holiday season.

If you are looking for a coffee that you can rely on every day, morning, noon and evening, then look no further. Ocean Drive from Boca Java is that coffee. From the wonderful aroma that greets you during brewing to the satisfying taste that follows every sip, this is a delicious coffee.
Boca Java starts with fine Arabica beans from both the high plateaus of Central Brazil and the coffee-growing regions of the Andes in Colombia for their Ocean Drive coffee. It is a medium-light roast that culminates in a full-bodied, bright flavor, finishing slightly sweet with no bitter aftertaste.
With a rich enough flavor for either espresso or Americano style coffee, I definitely suggest trying the Ocean Drive coffee from Boca Java. It's smooth, well-balanced and delicious anytime of the day.
