This Saffron Tea by Taja Tea was gifted to me by a friend a few years ago (but I only opened the packaging recently so I think it's still good...). According to the box cover, the "Virtues of Saffron" include: "vitality, anti-oxidant, anti-depressant, relieves anxiety, promotes better mood".
The "energy tea" was a blend of green tea, white tea, passion fruit flavor, saffron.
The tea had a mild fruity aroma and I could taste its sweet fruit flavour.
But I was unable to discern the spiciness of saffron...What does saffron taste like to you?
So I just enjoyed it as a fruity tea.

What's your favourite spiced tea?
Your tea has so many different teas and spices in it. Definitely seems like a good energy tea. To me, the taste of saffron is subtle-sort of a mild salty earthy paprika. It's the color that really makes the spice for me. I probably use too small of an amount to really explore and understand the taste. As far as spiced teas, I'm not a huge fan but do enjoy chai. Have a nice week. ~Nora
ReplyDeleteHi Margie,
ReplyDeleteI don't remember ever having drank tea with saffron in it. Of course there were many times when I didn't always check the ingredients too when I first started drinking it. I love spicy tea; especially chai. But any tea with cinnamon or cloves in it is a favourite with me. Thank you for joining me for tea today and Happy Easter Monday!
Blessings,
Sandi
Very interesting. I struggle with reflux therefore I don't often try anything with spice. I do love the fragrance of clove!
ReplyDeleteI will have to try this tea. It sounds wonderful. Have a great week. Blessings, Martha
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure my favorite spice tea will always be the old stand by, Constant Comment. It always reminds me of when I was in the second grade and our teacher had us hold an "Egyptian Tea" every year. We would serve our parents. I don't remember the cookies we used but I do seem to remember that the tea taste like what I would later have as Constant Comment.
ReplyDeleteHi Margie,

Hi Margie,
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun post! I clicked the link and interesting they have SO MANY teas w/Saffron. I have a tiny bit in my cupboard, to add to smoothies for its health benefits, but I don't notice the taste. :)

Every boy and every girl! Hi Margie! I haven't tried saffron tea before. I've never tried it plain, I think the only time I've had it is in Indian cooking--and there are lots of spices going on, so I'm not sure if I like it or not. Your tea sounds really yummy! Pretty mug too by the way.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a good and beneficial tea,I must give it a try sometime.
ReplyDeleteI love cloves, but black currant is my favorite tea.
Have a beautiful week.

I am a fruity tea person, rather than a spicy one, so have no preference to spicy teas.
ReplyDeleteI make risotto with saffron, but I have never seen it as a tea! Amazing! Thanks for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

I love 'real' saffron cause most sold in the market are fake ones. I like it on Spanish Paella. Cute pic of the Spice Girls having tea!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend.
