Tea Blend of the Day: Orange Delight Tea

Spice of Life White TeaLove oranges? Orange Juice? If so, you’ll love this tea, since it has a nice spicy orange taste that actually works well. I like it with a bit of Rock Sugar, but that’s your call (I like most things with a bit of Rock Sugar).

This tea blends a Rooibos and a White Tea. So you get a lot of flavor (Rooibos) and a lot of antioxidants (White Tea). The Rooibos also adds vitamins and minerals and helps with allergies. The White Tea helps to detoxify your body and hydrate your skin. So here’s the blend:

Orange Delight Tea: 1.5 teaspoons of Spice of Life White Tea and 1.5 teaspoons of Rooibos Orange Tea per 8oz of water. Heat water to 175-180 degrees (below boiling) and steep for 1 minute.

If you steep this tea too long, it will get bitter. Most white teas are very sensistive to steep times, so don’t go over 1 minute if you can help it. If you want a stronger taste, add more tea rather than steeping longer.

Perfect for the morning or evening, since it has very little caffeine. And it tastes great!

This one sounds great – I heard that perhaps there will be another orange flavored white tea in the new tea’s… maybe a little of that would make this even better :)

I’m sure there are quite a few teas in our new line-up that could make wonderful additions to this combination, although strictly speaking we do not have an orange white tea coming this season.

I found my favorite blend. I have at least 15 different teas and I am constantly combining them to experiment with both blended and contrasting flavors. I have found my favorite that I drink every day. Utopian Jewel and Slender Puehr tea makes an unforgetable glass of iced tea!
