Review & Giveaway: MarketSpice Tea

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.

Everyone who has visited my blog already knows that I am a tea fanatic. I would so much rather be drinking a glass of ice-cold tea, than a glass of pop. I suppose this is a good thing, because tea has many natural health benefits, while pop is basically pure sugar with artificially colors and flavorings in it.

This time, I am reviewing MarketSpice Tea in Cinnamon Orange. Marketspice Tea was established in 1911, and originated in Seattle’s Historic Pike Place Market. The Cinnamon Orange is their signature tea.

I tried this tea two different ways- a lighter brewed iced tea, and a darker brewed hot tea. I did not like this tea at all when I left it to steep in hot water, It was very strong. Though, I take the blame of that on myself, I probably left it in the water too long. However, When I let this steep only for a little bit (1-2 minutes) and then made it into iced tea, it was wonderful.

Though this tea reminds me a lot of the holiday season, probably from the cinnamon in it, the orange really steps it up and makes it suitable to drink any time of the year.

This is a Black tea, not a Green Tea, which I prefer. I know a lot of people prefer Black over green, and I am one of them. I was almost surprised when I read the ingredients and found out this contains no sugar! The natural sweetness of the orange gives it a sweet flavor.

I will certainly be checking out MarketSpice Tea’s other flavors!

Review: Teavivre

Any one who reads my blog, knows that I love Tea. Though, until recently, I had never tried loose leaf tea. You may think I am strange, but I love loose leaf tea, because I can see what the mixture is actually made out of. I was sent a variety of different teas to try and review from Teavivre:


Premium Dragon Well Long Jing Green Tea
Bi Luo Chun Green Tea
Huang Shan Mao Feng Green Tea
Premium Keemun Hao Ya Black Tea
Taiwan Oriental Beauty oolong Tea

I put these teas in tea bags specifically made for loose leaf tea, and let them steep in hot water. My favorite Tea that I was sent was the Premium Keemun Hao Ya Black Tea. It was very delicious. I love unsweetened, unflavored tea, Especially in the morning. I drank this particular tea with my brunch. All of the teas I received were very good.

These were perfect! 10/10!
