Halloween Tea

October 13th, 2026 klwade Posted in Babbling and Observations, Bucket List, Halloween, Tea No Comments »

This year I decided to cut back the Halloween advent tea. It has been so hot and tea is something I like to drink on a colder night Although the last few days have been cooler thanks to hurricane Rachel, this summer has dragged itself into October. I did find some Halloween tea at World Market.

I have started to drink both of these and they are quite tasty. I am a fan of Republic of Tea and enjoy their robust tea flavors. Both of these are caffeine free which is perfect for a night time tea during the spooky season.

I was going to end it here, but then I saw some new teas from a company I have not tried before. Tea with Tae. All 4 of these Halloween blends look like fun to drink during the spooky season.

There are not a lot of tea bags in each canister which allows me to finish these off in a reasonable amount of time this year. I think I will pull out my spider web tea cup and have some tea today while watching a new spooky show called Below on Netflix. It gave me Widows Bay vibes.

Red, White and Blue Tea

June 20th, 2026 klwade Posted in Babbling and Observations, Bucket List, Tea No Comments »

I enjoy drinking tea, both hot and iced. I am always intrigued when one of my favorite tea companies comes out with a special blend during the holidays.

Smith Tea is a newer tea company to me but I have been eyeing their website ever so often. Well when I saw their patriotic red, white and blue tea for summer I could not resist.

Their three tea blends are Hibiscus Mango (red), White Peach (white) and Blackberry Jasmine (blue).

  • 4 1-Quart Sachets of Hibiscus Mango Iced Tea: A bright mango forward infusion of juicy hibiscus flowers, orange peel and smooth rooibos. Caffeine-free for enjoyment any time of day. One sip and everything’s rosy.
  • 4 1-Quart Sachets of White Peach Iced Tea: Delicate yet full-bodied white tea is rounded out with juicy peach, pineapple, orange peel and vanilla. A shimmering golden tea you’ll want in your glass all summer long, preferably poolside.
  • 4 1-Quart Sachets of Blackberry Jasmine Iced Tea: A dazzling sapphire blend of premium Jasmine Silver Tip tea, sweet blackberry, orange peel, and mango. The beauty of butterfly pea flower naturally makes it a brilliant blue.

So far I have really enjoyed the flavor of the tea, very refreshing and tasty. The only thing I am missing is the fresh fruit to garnish the teas.

You should check out their teas.

So here is to sipping a cold drink during summer!

Spooky Tea Time

October 16th, 2025 klwade Posted in Babbling and Observations, Tea No Comments »

When the winds blow and the leaves swirl there comes a time in this household where I start to drink hot tea. The nip in the air while wearing warm sweaters is the perfect tea time. But not your ordinary tea time, but a spooky tea time.

Adagio Teas does a spooky selection for the tea lover in cute tins.

There are six blends from no caffeine to high caffeine using different tea blends. Grab your favorite Halloween mug or spooky cup and saucer and brew some hot tea and enjoy the cool October evenings.

I also snagged the Snarky Tea Halloween blends. This year there blends are called the Cauldron Collection

Roasted Almond
Mocha Magic
Raspberry Cherry ⁠
Phantom Pear
Boo Berries
Pumpkin Cream
Caramel App
Ginger Dragon Fruit

There are eight great flavors that I can either drink as ice tea or hot tea.

The Tea Witch likes it hot, the Pumpkin Head likes it cold. You decide.

Perhaps some sweet Caramel Apple tea with caramel sauce. Pipping hot and comforting.

Or perhaps Phantom Pear with fresh pear slices and some sparkling soda. Icy cold and refreshing.

Maybe some Boo Berries with berries in the tea for extra zing. A great cold drink to boost your energy in the afternoon.

Which ever way I make it, I am sure it will be tasty.

The Other Halloween Tea

December 7th, 2024 klwade Posted in Babbling and Observations, Bucket List, Seasons, Tea, Uncategorized No Comments »

I think I forgot to mention the other Halloween tea I bought for the season. I realize this will last until next Halloween. But I could not control myself.

I got tea from Snarky Tea and Plum Deluxe Tea. Both are specialty tea companies who make their tea to order.

Plum Deluxe came out with the Trick or Treat Box.

The Licorice Spice Herbal was very tasty. What made this box so much fun was the Trick or Treat feature, Some teas did not taste that great, hence the trick and others were treats. they give you a score card which I rated the teas. It was fun to play along.

Snarky Tea did a Witching Hour tea mix. They gave quite a mix but the samplers are smaller which would be perfect for the 32 ounce mason jar.

I really like Snarky Tea and have a subscription to make cold brew tea Their tea is so flavorful. Below is the November cold brew delivery.

Today I should be receiving December cold brew package.

Sparky Tea always does a blending guide in case you want to mix it up. So far I have not done a blend but will one day.

Here is January 2025 release

Looks like I will have some good choices in my future.

So I will have plenty of tea in my future. Pinky up!
