Hey, YOU-Get Offa My Cloud

I am not real fond of green tea. It seems to me, mostly, to be on the insipid side and I like things to be intense..I don;t like watercolor paintings either, preferring the vibrant oils of the Dutch Masters. That information was just a gimme, you don’t have to pay for it.
I picked up Teavana’s Cloud 9 tea because of the name. Can anyone really resist a small piece of Cloud 9? I am not sure about Cloud 8, or even Cloud 10, but Cloud nine seems like the place to be. I admit to being an advertising company’s dream, I will pick something up totally because of the way they name it. That is why I like Celestial Seasonings so much. How can anyone resist names like Tummy Time, Red Zinger, and Early Morning Thunder?
Rambling, me? Sorry, I am only on my second cup of coffee.
So…Cloud 9 it was. Cloud 9 is a blend of green rooibos tea, apples, strawberries, rosehips, hibiscus, lemon peel ….and…..are you ready?
Teensy-weensy marshmallows.
How brilliant is that?
:::Geez, Marye, get to it, how did it taste?::::::
It was really good. I liked it. It was a comfort cup of tea, for when you want to curl up and read Pagoo. Sweet, koolaid-y sort of, but with the distinct tea flavor. The one thing I was disappointed in was that, of course, the marshmallows disintegrate leaving only the taste, and even if there is some left they are strained out. I kind of wish they would package the little marshmallows separately. LOL!
Worth trying, even if you don’t normally like green tea

















I like green tea, though it ends up bitter lately when I brew it. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong now that wasn’t happening before.
I think I’ll look for this one. Thanks for the heads up.
Over steeping maybe?
Probably. I’m trying a new tea/coffee maker from Tea Avenue. It rocks, but I need to learn to use it just right
