Product Review: Utopia Tea

I've been a big tea drinker since I was kid. I don't like coffee, so tea is something that is stocked here. I responded to a message on Twitter from Utopia Tea about samples. I'm always on the lookout for new teas to try.

They were generous enough to send me three different and unique flavors:  Irish Breakfast, Strawberry Ginger Peppercorn, and Jasmine Green. Also included in  my sample packet were five tea bags to hold the loose tea leaves.



Irish Breakfast has always been a favorite flavor of mine. I like black teas and they contain antioxidants, so I never feel guility about partaking in a cup. Utopia Tea's blend is very robust. It smells divine and tastes heavenly. Since I've been drinking mostly decaffeinated tea over the past few years, I didn't have more than one cup a day, because the caffeine level in this one is high.

I would definitely recommend Utopia Tea's Irish Breakfast.

I'm not a huge fan of green teas, even though they are very good in helping to fight off a variety of diseases and ailments. Utopia Tea's Jasmine Green is a sweet tea that would be perfect in the evening, as it has a low level of caffeine and its aroma is calming. Out of the three teas this was my least favorite flavor, but if you enjoy green teas, I'm sure you'll like this one.

Honestly, the thought of drinking a tea called Strawberry Ginger Peppercorn scared me a bit. When I opened the package, the aroma reminded me of PopTarts and musk perfume. Strange, I know, but that's what I thought of when I smelled it. This is a blend of organic white and green tea, ginger, roasted rice, strawberries, peppercorn, chili bits, and natural flavors. I use some of these ingredients when I cook, so I hoped I would enjoy this blend.

With all the unique ingredients, it had the appearance of potpourri, and I wouldn't be opposed to boiling some on the stove to scent my kitchen. Even though I'm not a fan of green teas, I liked the flavor of this one, so I will look for more white and green tea blends in the future. It has a sweet flavor with a kick to it because of the spicier ingredients. I think this would make a perfect summer late afternoon party iced tea.

I'll definitely be purchasing teas and accessories from Utopia Tea in the future.
