We love to try new foods. Some are great. Some don’t measure up and some become staples in our kitchen. See what you think.
My first impression of Rishi Tea was what beautiful packaging. Not only are the boxes attractive but each provides information about the tea — ingredients, brewing guide, and caffeine level along with the tea’s source, cultivator and harvest season. For those who desire brand transparency Rishi fits the bill. Next I was taken by the breath of flavors available.Green tea: Jade Cloud, Jasmine Green, Tropical Green, Sencha, Green Tea Mint, and Macha Super Green
Black tea: English Breakfast, Masala Chai, Earl Grey, Pu-erh Bordeaux, and Chocolate Cinnamon
White tea: Peach Nectar
Herbal tea: Blueberry Hibiscus, Turmeric Ginger, Chamomile Medley, and Pacific Peppermint
All flavors are certified USDA Organic and packaged in a triangular mesh teabag to allow for better infusion.
Olbas Instant Herbal Tea is a very interesting product. It is a blend of 20 herbs, oils and grape sugar. The tea is packaged in a 7-ounce container and when opened the instant tea looks like tiny, cylindrical pellets which dissolve instantly in hot water. The tea has a lovely aromatic smell and a mild flavor. Olbas recommends a teaspoon of tea per cup. We found an amply rounded teaspoonful of tea provided the best taste. One serving, 1 teaspoon, has 12 calories, 3 grams of sugar and no sodium or potassium. It is sourced from Switzerland.
