Tea Review: SpecialTea Brew Assam Reserve
February 12th, 2012 By: GGThe common stereotype of an Assam tea is a heavy, hefty, malty breakfast beverage. With a little milk, a good Assam should stick to your ribs more effectively than a morning bowl of Raisin Bran. This particular Assam, tagged as a 2009 World Tea Champion, doesn’t fit the common…

January 19th, 2012 By: GeoffSpecialTea Brew is an online outfit out of my neck of the woods – the Pacific Northwest (of the U.S.). According to their origin story, the op was inspired by tea with a grandmother. This is the third “tea with grandma” foundation tale I’d heard, and – you know what? – it works on me every damn time…

August 18th, 2011 By: CynthiaThe leaves are rich black with a sweet waft of vanilla. Three minute infusion…first sip…ummm…the black base is not what I was expecting. It leaves me wanting a more robust black tea in its place. The vanilla while…

Read More...Tea Review: Special Tea Brew Pink Grapefruit – 2
March 2nd, 2011 By: GretchenI really like grapefruit. As a small child, I always wanted my mother to get me those sweet smelling grapefruit bath products from the overpriced but immensely-fascinating-to-children bath product shoppes (whose quality could be told with the extra, pretentious “e”). And as an…
Read More...Tea Review: Special Tea Brew Lemon Ginger Snap – 2
January 12th, 2011 By: Gretchenwish I was at home, reading a book on a nice summer afternoon, because this tea deserves that. Or at least it deserves a little more than sitting in my boring cube at work in the middle of winter. A nice light tea, with strong ginger and lemon tones. While mild…

December 13th, 2010 By: JamieThe cold weather always makes me reach from stronger blends so today I’m trying a nice black tea blend from SpecialTea Brew. It’s called Pink Grapefruit and you can see pieces of citrus mixed in with the dark leaves. The dry leaves smell amazingly rich and fresh…

December 8th, 2010 By: JamieI’ve been saving this particular blend for just the right day. I love the smell and taste of vanilla – in everything. The dry leaves are dark yet shiny fresh, I can’t see the vanilla pieces in the blend but I can definitely smell them…
