What are the must-try teas from Stash Tea?

[cewcooks]

On the advice of you fellow cheffers I sent away for a stash tea catalog! OMGosh there are soo many wonderful choices, but which ones would you try if it was your first time trying these teas!

I bought my mom mango passionfruit, wintermint and orange spice. I don't normally drink tea, but tried the mango passionfruit and really liked it.

The Mango Passionfruit isn't a true tea - it's an herbal infusion. Only mixtures that have tea leaves in them (whether green, black or white) can properly be called tea. Orange Spice is a good black tea. It's similar to Constant Comment.
I also like the Earl Grey and Double Bergamot Earl Grey, both of which are black teas. They also have a version made with green tea that I imagine is pretty good.Herbal- I like Christmas Eve, Wintermint, Peppermint, Sandman PM.If you're trying to figure out what you like, I suggest getting a couple of samplers so you're not stuck with 50 teabags of something you don't like.

Guess that's why I liked it then!

Can you make ICED tea with these? I am just not a big fan of any hot drinks, except for hot chocolate!! lol

I make iced tea from any tea bags. I just use my mr coffee tea maker and add the bags instead of loose tea

I absolutley LOVED the Double Bergamot! FABULOUS cup of tea. The chai tea was good, but needed milk- and I didn't have any at work. I was blessed by a friend who sent me a wonderful sample of Stash teas- and another friend who sent me teas from one of their local shops, and WOW- I'm hooked! I also like the orange spice tea, and I want to order the tea that makes you frisky for your luva! I know, tmi---

I think the chocolate teas will be an aquired taste for me. So far anything citrus based seems to be my favorite. Very good tea!!!

I just got the newest Republic of Tea catalog and will be going through these tonight to highlight my fav's and start ordering as I can afford to.

I've yet to find anything that tastes like the PC tea or coffee. Trust me, I've been searching.

The Stash Mango Passionfruit (herbal), when made with Stash Peach (black tea) comes fairly close to the PC tea.

Good to know. I'll have to try that.
