| this tea captures Maya perfectly and I feel like she is with me when I drink this. Perfect blend and I feel like I go to a magical world when I drink this tea. Warm comforting. Would say have this in the morning, it will give you a wonderful day full of surprises and top off at lunch with another pot. Tea time! |

| A nice sweet blend. I usually don't like cloves, but they set this tea off perfectly! I tried it with milk and without and prefer it without. |

Sassy and Fun |

| I bought this tin as part of a Christmas gift for my daughter, who is a fan of Maya Angelou. She enjoys this tea blend and so do I. The spiciness and fruitiness remind me of a holiday tea and very appropriate to chase away the winter chills. I only drink this when I want something "special" for I feel this is a very special tea in honor of someone who was very special and inspirational! |

A unique, well-balanced blend |
7/31/2018 |
| I was a little skeptical when I saw hibiscus flowers as an ingredient, because I find that hibiscus in a tea blend often takes over to the point where you can't taste anything else. That's not the case here. The black tea is definitely still the star of the show, and the hibiscus adds just a hint of tanginess that melds well with the spices, citrus, and other flavors. On a general note, I am really loving these new additions to the literary teas! There are some really inspired flavor combinations that are different from anything I've had anywhere else. Hope to see some new ones on the bookshelf soon! |

Bold and Spicy |

| I was certainly surprised by the texture of this tea and its blend of floral scents yet spicy body. I had to become accustomed to the taste. Definitely do not over steep! I often like to try floral and spicy teas hot and cold, but this one I found was best very hot when first finished steeping. It reminds me of a Caribbean or Island chai. It is bold and in your face but not less for it. |

A Worthy Tribute |
4/14/2018 |
| I wondered how a tea could possibly be spectacular enough to honor one of the most admired individuals in the entire world. This curiosity prompted me to order it immediately. I thought of all the times I had been inspired or encouraged by Maya Angelou's words and I tried to see what thoughts came to my mind as I enjoyed this heady black tea brew. The first thing I thought of was the term "infuse" and how she once said the written word became so much more meaningful when infused with the human voice. Just as this tea looked and smelled nice in the tin, it became so much more alive and enriched by infusing its goodness into the steaming water to create something magical. Then I thought about the fruits.and the spiciness of clove which reminded me of Christmastime which was the only time of the year Maya Angelou was able to enjoy her beloved pineapple upside-down cake-(one slice made in a cast iron skillet) that she savored. Everything blended so perfectly in a manner that made it impossible for several of my senses not to react positively. Do not miss out on this one. Let the unique aroma and flavor remind you of Maya Angelou's simple philosophy for living a good life, "Just do right." |
