This sparkling Iced Tea was on sale, so I thought I would try it. It was okay. Maybe a 3 out of 5. I would probably pass on it again. It left an after taste that I did not care for.

Alohoa Beauty Tea
This tea was nice. It is not something I would run out and buy, but if in a basket of tea in a restaurant, I would pick it again. It has lots of flavor going on. Not sure if maybe it was the rooibos throwing me off a little, I am not always a fan of rooibos.
Bollywood Theater chai- Portland
I believe it used to be endless chai, but now it is limited to one refill. It was a chai like I have never had before. My sister was a big fan. For me, there was something almost floral in it. I was not a huge fan. I mean don't get me wrong- I had two cups...but I would not be listed in my top 5 of favorite chai teas. Now, the food- that was a different story- they might be listed on top 5 Indian places I have eaten. Very different and VERY fun!!!
Chai: milky and sweet,

from the website:
Make no mistake, this is not the weak, boring chai you find on supermarket shelves. Our Bollywood Theater Masala Chai is as close as you can get to the stuff served by the Chai Wallahs in the streets of Delhi.
This is an authentic, rich and robust Masala Chai blend featuring the freshest Indian Assam Black Tea, Green Cardamom, Cloves, Black Pepper and Ginger (plus more) we could find. We worked with Bollywood Theater's Chef Troy MacLarty, to put together the same blend he serves in his award-winning, third-eye opening restaurants.
My partner on the ground in India, Mr. Divakar, travels from farm to farm, estate to estate, cherry-picking the freshest spices just for us. He ships them to us in small-batches, so things remain crazy fresh. You'll understand what I'm talking about the second you tear open a bag.
Delicious served hot or on ice. The 3 oz package makes about 10 cups. The 8 oz tube makes about 25. And the pound size makes about 50. Add sugar to taste.
Bollywood Theater is a wildly popular Indian street food eatery with two locations in Portland, Oregon. Both are just a rickshaw ride from downtown.
- Masala Chai Ingredients: Assam Black Tea, Green Cardamom, Cloves, Black Pepper, Fennel Seeds, Ginger Root, Cinnamon and Bay Leaves
The food was awesome!!! I was a big fan of the spices!!!
great vibe inside.
My sister and I shared 4 different street foods.
Smith Tea
My happy place- in Portland OR!!! I told Christy, my sister, that even though this was my third time here, it still did not get old!!!!!
I did a flight- a taste test of 4 kinds of tea for $8.00
They give you information cards about the tea and the area they come from, and also the loose tea to smell.
I tried all new kinds this time- except the chai, which I new I loved!!!
They give you the Chai plain, which is nasty, but then they gave you the sugar and milk to add. It is incredible the difference! I love the Masala Chai!!!
Kandy- was probably my least favorite. It is a black tea. I tried it plain, and I did not like it. I added milk and it was better, but still my least favorite.
Bai Hao was nice too. It was an Oolong.
White Petal was a different white tea. I liked it, but the taste was very unique.
Yummy Chai!!!!!
As we were paying the nice lady let us try to of the Iced Teas. We first tried the Strawberry Honeybush- which looks like beer, but was not!!! We liked this one. I liked the carbonation that was in it too.
Then we tried a cold carbonated Chai. Neither of us were fans of this tea. It was very different, but the taste was just too strange for us. But, again, that is why tea is so fun everyone has different taste buds and prefers different things!!!
Republic of Tea Vanilla Almond
I liked this tea. It was sweet and nutty. I am a fan. I made this one a few times while visiting my sister in WA
From their website:
Sweeten The Mind Tea - The smoothness of Madagascar vanilla beans takes over the first sip of this tea, sweetening the cup. Nutty almond follows, which sends it soaring to the realm of dessert. Try a strong brew with steamed milk for a tea latte.
Caffeine:
Black Tea has less than half the amount of caffeine per cup than in a similar-sized cup of coffee.Steeping Instructions
Steeping black tea is easy. Simply heat fresh, filtered water to a rolling boil. Then pour water over tea and steep for 3-5 minutes if using a tea bag or full-leaf.
Ingredients
Fine black tea, natural vanilla and almond flavors, vanilla beans and almond bitsCONTAINS ALMONDS
The great thing about staying at my sisters is she is a great cook. This morning she made a homemade banana oatmeal with pecans. It was great!
Aloha Lovers Tea
This one might be my least favorite, but then I am not a huge fan of cinnamon.
But, still it was a tea- lots of flavor.
Pho Le's Jasmine Iced Tea
I had a great lunch here on vacation. And the iced jasmine tea was nice and refreshing. I have never made my jasmine tea iced before. I liked it.

Townshend's Tea Company- Bubble tea
http://www.townshendstea.com/about.html
I wish I would have had more time to spend here, it looked fun and unique. I did get my favorite bubble tea. I had a lavender milk bubble tea that was GREAT!!!! It hit the spot.
from the website:
Townshend’s Tea Company began as a college project at the University of Oregon in 2002.
The idea was to bring together a casual college campus-style coffeehouse atmosphere with top-grade loose leaf tea.

NE Portland
First to open was Townshend’s Alberta Street Teahouse, in April of 2006. Wood floors below and wood beams overhead, together with colorful furniture, lighting and art give the Alberta Street Teahouse a unique look and feel. Alberta Street is one of those wonderful Portland districts full of shops and restaurants that are almost all individually-owned and operated by Portland locals. It’s a special place to visit that has been highlighted by multiple media sources including The New York Times.
