I picked up Tazo Vanilla Apricot White tea because I wanted a unique flavor to use in the frosting on my daughter’s birthday cake.  It turned out fantastic by the way! I definitly recommend it as an ingredient!

In drinking the tea I was surprised by the lightness and delicacy of the flavor.  I think I would have preferred a little more apricot flavor but all in all I thought the tea was a nice afternoon tea- something that would go well with shortbread cookies, or a light snack.  I think it is too light for a breakfast cup and not …read more
