Two word sum up this product. Yum… MORE! It’s so good. The green tea is subtle, the cane sugar is sweet and the mango brings it all together so nicely that I threw down the bottle in roughly twenty seconds. I want more, but don’t just read this review, go get to the store and buy Sweet Leaf Tea’s Mango Green Tea. It’s amazing!

I really like the Xtrema skillet. I’ve been using it regularly and it works really well, so I was excited to try the teapot. It starts to boil in just a few minutes, which is due to the nature of the ceramic. The problem is, regardless of the amount of water you put into the teapot, it boils over. The teapot does not whistle, so you really have to watch the water boil which isn’t too fun.
The remaining water in the pot stays hot after you pour your cup for tea, well if it hasn’t boiled over.

I am still using the teapot, but I know how it works, so be warned. The company’s website is finally live with links to their retailers both online and in-store.
We will also be reviewing a pot from Ceramcor in the near future, so check back soon.

Formed in 1999, a brother-sister team started Numi Organic Tea as a way to revive the art behind simple tea. As one who enjoys a good tea, my journey with Numi began. I decided to take it slow with the tea and only drink it when I had the craving for a good hot tea. I started with the Chinese Breakfast Tea, which had a very soothing Oolong taste with a hint of orange. It is a black tea, and needed no sugar.
Next was the Golden Chai, which was also a dark tea. Chai happens to be my favorite of all tea but what I find from a lot of companies is an overdone spice. This was not the case. The cinnamon and ginger was on point. This was a very well mixed dark tea, even though it needed a little sugar.

The Ruby Chai was not as good as the Golden Chai as I think it had too much cinnamon in the blend, but it did not need sugar. The Honeybush tea was lighter than the others, needed no sugar and had a very nice fruit flavor.
Along with its Oolong taste, this was a very nice tea after a long day of work. In the box of Numi were 4 more teas, which I wasn’t very fond of…

The Lime Herbal tea was way too overwhelming. It is possible some people like tart tea but that is not the case for me. The same went for the Mate Lemon Green Tea. Lemon is good in a tea, but it tastes as though an entire Lemon was dropped in the tea. The Jasmine Green Tea wasn’t that bad although I’d prefer Arizona tea or Numi’s Green Tea.
For the most part Numi Tea makes a very wide range of tea, each fair trade organic and each with a unique twist and taste. For the most part I enjoyed tasting a new batch of tea. I would purchase the Numi Golden Chai Tea over and over again.

Fair Trade is Equal Exchange’s primary mission along with offering high quality foods and beverages. Equal Exchange products range from teas and coffees to nuts and chocolate.

The loose, organic Ceylon Green Tea is a perfect example of fair trade tea. Picked in Sri Lanka, the green tea is sweet and fruity. I tried the tea both hot and cold and I actually prefer making it cold. Here’s my trick, if you are interested. Add a tablet or two of sweetener such as Stevia or agave to freshly brewed hot tea and cover with cold filtered water and shake it up a while. Let the sugars mix in and wait a day. Enjoy the iced tea and your all set. I use maybe three tablespoons of tea for 64 ounces of water.
Sweet, antioxidant-rich green tea with a hint of sweetness is just what the doctor ordered.
Be on the lookout for more Equal Exchange reviews. As an update, since I wrote this review, Equal Exchange is discontinuing their loose tea line and replacing it with eco-tea bags.

Sweet Leaf Tea has a killer lineup of organic and all natural sweet teas. This is their version of a diet sweet tea. This tea is not all natural because it contains Splenda. The tea is not as sweet as the regular Sweet Leaf Original tea, but it’s all right in comparison. It has no calories and 5mg of sodium.
If you’re into diet teas that taste better than those other companies out there, try Sweet Leaf Tea. Their organics and all natural teas are wonderful as well.

Sweet Leaf Tea, from Austin, Texas, is known for southern style, just like Grandma used to make tea. The spearmint and hint of cinnamon really enhance the organic hibiscus tea flavor. It’s caffeine and fat free. There are 28 calories per serving and a decent amount of Vitamin C (40 grams).
Sweet Leaf has recently updated their website to a fun and inviting flash page complete with twangy country music and awesome graphics that match their tea bottles.

As always, there is a store locator, an online store and more. Now that Sweet Leaf went Flash, I can’t really directly link to their pages, so just click over to sweetleaftea.com
