Chai needed to inspect the almond biscotti tea.
Ryan got me a new teacup!! I love it. It is Rosina Bone China with an adorable harvest pattern!
I ordered one of Teavana's new blends. I got 4oz of the Amandine Rose black tea. I find myself increasingly frustrated with their repetitive fruity blends. They used to have things like Vermont Maple, Pistachio Apple Pie, Rooibos Sweet Amore, Rose Marzipan Delight, and so on. They discontinued those delicious blends and I swear they replaced them with overly fruity/citrusy teas. The requests to bring back certain spiced blends have gone largely ignored, or customers have been advised to try one of their newer teas that are nothing like the discontinued blend.
My personal hope is that the Amandine Rose is a "revamped" duplicate of their Rose Marzipan Delight.
I loved Rose Marzipan Delight so much that I kept about one spoonful after the discontinuation in a little container so I could open it up and just take a big breath of the candied rose fragrance. It was my absolute favorite rose tea and I hated Teavana for taking it off shelves. I'm worried that if Amandine Rose is a duplicate of Rose Marzipan that it won't last long with their fixation on fruit. I'm quite nervous they'll discontinue Almond Biscotti as well.
I wish Teavana would do what Lush does ... periodically bring back products in a "retro" collection.

Did you ever get the Amandine Rose? Was it as good as the Rose Marzipan Delight? I still have some Rose Marzipan Delight but I'm skeptical about the Amandine Rose being as good especially since the promote it as the upgrade to Almond Biscotti.
I did! It is essentially Almond Biscotti with loads of rose flavoring and like ... one candied violet per bag. :'( It's still lovely, but not nearly as wonderful as Rose Marzipan Delight.
