PRODUCT REVIEW
Before I get into the review, I'd like for you all to have a seat. Why you ask? Because this review may just be the best one I've ever posted. I don't want to brag...but you just wait and see!
I'd like to introduce all you wonderful readers to
TeaGschwendner, pronounced "TEE-G'SHVEND-NURR". Try to say that 5 times fast!
TeaGschwendner is from Germany (if you couldn't tell by the name) and is currently a global leader in specialty teas. They currently sell over 300
loose leaf teas and tea
accessories online and in their store locations. After you've tried their
tea, you'll realize why
TeaGschwendner is quickly sweeping the US
tea market. They recently announced a grand opening at Rockefeller Center in NY on July 16th. Coming September 21st, they'll be announcing another grand opening at 76th and Broadway. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed that they will soon begin making their way down to Florida in next few years or I might be taking a trip up to New York very soon!!!
TeaGschwendner offers the following varieties of tea online and in their stores: Black, Green, Oolong, White, Rooibush, Herbal, Fruit, Iced, and Ayurveda. They also have a huge assortment of
accessories for tea (cups, tins, kettles, pots, etc). Visit the
TeaGschwendner online store and search through the hundreds of choices available today. I honestly took 2 hours to decide what my top 3 teas to try would be...and I'm glad I did! The image below is what I received from
TeaGschwendner for the review. You'll notice a really cool book of tea...this was a very impressive book all about the varieties of tea at
TeaGschwendner and also you'll notice the Teelamass for scooping my
TeaGschwendner teas. This company knows what they're doing!
The
Summer Romance was my first
TeaGschwendner tea that I tried. I was getting over a summer cold and thought my sense of taste and smell were shot. Boy was I wrong! This sweet medley of tart raspberries, juicy strawberries and luscious vanilla made me feel like I was young again and full of energy. It made the kitchen (and wherever I went) smell amazing. The fruity aroma along with the soft and delicious taste has made me a lifetime fan. I laughed while drinking this tea because I said to myself, no more buying grocery store teas. I'm serious...triple-dog serious, this tea is the most delicious tea I've ever had in my lifetime.
After falling head over heals in love with
Summer Romance, I moved on to the
Pineapple Mango and the
Organic Fancy White Peony teas. It was as if each variety of tea got better with each small sip. The
Pineapple Mango lived up to its name...I felt like I was drinking fresh pineapple and mango! Delicious! The fruity aroma filled the house and the flavor filled my body and revitalized me after my summer cold. I have yet to try it iced, but this will be my next use with it. The
Organic Fancy White Peony was another amazing treat. The tea had just the right flavor amount of chestnut, honey and white flowers. It couldn't have tasted any better and it was a perfect ending to a happy story. Thank you
TeaGschwendner for the amazing samples for this review and for the generous giveaway offer to my most wonderful readers!

the dragon fruit tea sounds interesting ! bargainfun1 at yahoo
Mango Cranberry is absolutely the best! I joined the food tour when I was in Chicago and the tour guide took us to TeaGschwendner. OMG, heavenly products, heavenly smell. I have been hooked since then. You guys should definitely try it out. It's 1000 times better than the Lipton tea bags you get from the grocery store.
There are two teas I'm dying to try first I'm a chocoholic and I love chili choc (Lindt's) so the Chili Chocolate Black tea sounds delicious! Alcohol is my other vice so the Caipirinha sounds lovely. Rtianna@gmail.com
I'm loving all of the Japanese teas, like the Genmaicha and the Japan Kabusecha Organic.

I think their Shogun tea (sweet raspberry, sour rhubarb and vanilla) sounds delightful. I drink a variety of teas and love to try different flavors. On the rare occasion I come across something I don't care for, someone else in my family is sure to love it.

WOW...they have a LOT of teas! The Black current is the one I'd LOVE to try! I remember eating these as a kid when we'd go through the woods near my mom's house! I haven't had them in many, many moons!
