Sugar Crystals

by Samovar » Oct 31st, '07, 13:43

I tried the Adagio sugar crystals. They add just the right amount of sweetness without being overpowering.

They don't change the flavor of the tea.

I like them with my flavored teas (esp. Pumpkin Spice- i can't drink it with them). I dno't drink flavored teas as much though, but it's a treat when I do. If anything, I've taken to putting them in my Greek yogurt for an interesting texture. Or eating them directly out of the tin. Or putting them on cupcakes. Am I going too far? :)

Xine, are we going to be able to order refills on the sugar crystals? They don't display on my refill page.

You know, they look pretty darn interesting.

Next tea order, maybe.

Holy cow! I just noticed those, thanks for posting. They look too cool to eat! Do they take forever to dissolv e? that is what I don't like about Sugar in the Raw. If you don't stir it enough you end up with a mouth full of syrup in your last few sips. Now I am going to go order some!!!

Thank you.

I am not weird for putting a little sugar in my dian hong. If hop does it, then its okay.

For the record, I use Wholesome Sweeteners Fair Trade sugar.

Hah! It's raw sugar, which is absolutely awesome in chai tea. I just haven't used sugar crystals that large yet.

You need to try some... Maybe with sencha? :twisted:

I just found the sugar crystals at a local tea place. Wow, they are very cool to look at, but they take 2 minutes to dissolve, stirring constantly. then the sweet stays at the bottom. However, they aren't super high-impact sweet or like Samovar says change the flavor of the tea. Can't wait to try it in coffee.
