Allegro's Tea Review

To vary a little from the travel destinations, here goes a contribution from Lainie Petersen of LainieSips.com - a great site all about teas. As to Allegro it is a Colorado company that sells both coffee and tea. About their teas, here goes Lainie's review on one of them:

This tea quickly infuses to a pretty, bright orange-yellow cup. The nose is slightly fruity and sweet. On the palate, the tea starts out with a bit of fruit and a touch of woodiness, but then quickly dissipates into a moderate astringency with not much else in the finish. The medium body of this tea keeps it from becoming insipid. Try some honey and/or lemon, as this tea takes both well.

Recommendation: Allegro is committed to sustainable growing practices and fair treatment of its workers, so if you are looking for an inexpensive, but reasonably tasty bagged tea that most people would enjoy, this could be a good choice.

Details: Estate Ceylon (Black Tea, Ceylon), paper bagged tea and individually wrapped. Costs $3.65 for a box of 20 tea bags and it's from Allegro (www.allegrocoffee.com)

So, if you happen to be in Colorado and short on ideas of what souvenir you should bring, why not look for a bag of tea like the one above? ;)
