Heh ladies!
I need some help. The new signature tea has just arrived (Oklahoma Prairie Blend) and it is yummy, but they sent a whole bunch of samples with it for me to try and also start carrying on the website. I'm high as a kite from caffeine from trying them all, but I have narrowed my list down to 7 that I have to reduce to 3. They are fantastic as hot tea, but can be used for iced as well. Is there anything on this list that sounds wonderful to you? I sure would like to hear your opinions. Oh, and the Oklahoma Prairie Blend is a black tea flavored with Strawberry, Mango, Kiwi and Raspberry and decorated with Cornflower and Marigold petals. It's light and wonderful. Here are the other choices I've narrowed down:
These are all black teas too.
French Creme Brulee
Peach Strawberry
Peach Brandy
Peach Rum Cake
Strawberry Papaya
Candy Cane
Chocolate Macadamia Cocunut Creme

Hi MaryBeth!
Well, I'm not a fan of peach anything, so that narrows it down a bit. I think I would love to at least try the Candy Cane and the French Creme Brulee. Those sound wonderful!
Good luck with all the new flavors!

Thank you Luanne! That's a "1" beside each of them. I will have to say that the French Creme Brulee is to die for. It is a wonderful dessert tea.

I'm going to say the only one on that list (that I would pick) would be the French Creme Brulee...simply because I love black teas, and my choice for black teas run along the lines of Earl Grey, English Breakfast and Irish Breakfast...something that might replace coffee for me, for example. Fruits don't = black teas to me :)

Karla, it seems that French Creme Brulee is a winner here so far!
Jonni, I love English breakfast too and that is one of the loose teas that I will be handling, but I wanted to add some flavored ones as well. I will have to say that MY favorite of the whole bunch is the Oklahoma Prairie Blend because it doesn't lose its black teaness and is just lightly flavored. With vanilla cream and a little bit of stevia, I could drink it all day. :-)

Peppermint anything for me, so the Candy Cane sounds good. Then the French Creme. Then maybe Strawberry Papaya.

Grace, you are so right on that aftertaste thing. I have had a boatload of tea companies that blend, send me the blends that I wanted to try and they were awful. They had a bitter aftertaste and the fruits were just not right. I finally found this company that doesn't blend, but flavors and that made all the difference in the world. Very smooth and tasty. That's why I'm having such a time deciding on which ones to start with!! And thanks for each of you for taking the time to give me your preferences. So far, French Creme Brulee and Candy Cane are the top two.

Hi Mary Beth! Oh, my - after reading the list, I am so hankering for something sweet! LOL! I like the sound of Peach Rum Cake, Candy Cane and Peach Strawberry... I also like the sound of Chocolate Macadamia Cocunut Creme, but that sounds more like a fancy coffee to me than a tea! :) Good luck choosing - 'sounds like a great reason to call the girlfriends over! :) - Nini

Nini, you are so right! And I have gotten two girlfriends in on the taste testing. I know what you mean about the sweets craving. Each time I sit down to try another kind of tea, I decided that I either have to have a scone or a piece of one of the chocolates that I carry (they are made by the Chickasaw Nation here!). This whole project is NOT good for the waistline. :-)
Jenny, thanks for your input.

| I'd choose the creme brule. As much as I adore fresh peaches, I've never tasted a peach tea that I really enjoyed, but if these really are better than most, the peach strawberry might be a nice spring morning tea. |

Thank you all sooooo much! I guess I'm closing the votes because I have to order. I have decided that besides my Oklahoma Prairie Blend, I will be ordering French Creme Brulee, Candy Cane, Peach Strawberry, English Breakfast and either Strawberry Papaya or Chocolate Macadamia (gonna put those names in a hat and draw out the winner). I appreciate your input and your helping me make a decision. There are tons of other flavors, but this is what I am going to start with to see how it goes. If you voted, email me from the contact button at the website and tell me which one you'd like to try, as well as your Name, Farmgirl name and address, I'll send you a sample as soon as it all gets here.

I'd choose creme brulee and candy cane as well! But I think peach brandy or rum cake might be good too. :) I have found I'm never happy with any macadamia I have tasted (besides the nut itself).

I had a cup of candy cane this afternoon. It is very light and you aren't quite sure that the taste is there and then all of a sudden, you breath in and it's cool and pepperminty. It's kind of nice.

Peach Brandy and Peach Rum Cake are my choices. Do you have any Pumpkin blends? I saw it somewhere but don't recall where. Sounds like it would be yummy!

Yummmm...Candy Cane sounds delicious. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of vanilla or peach flvored drinks. I know, weird!
The Chocolate Macadamia Cocunut Creme sounds interesting too. If it were coffee, I'd be slurping that one down by the cupfulls!
