Trader Joe’s Organic Tulsi Herbal Tea

4 · · 1 Comment

Basil. A common ingredient in my household. So is tea. But if you are thinking that this is just basil in tea form, you might be a bit mistaken depending on what ends up in your cart regularly. The basil I keep is the one that pairs really well with tomatoes and cheese. In reality, the one variety I use is among the 40 varieties of basil available. Tulsi or Holy Basil is a totally different variety than what you might be picking up in the fresh herb section. Now Trader Joe’s introduces those of us who might otherwise be unfamiliar to Holy Basil Tea.

Trader Joe’s Organic Cold Brewed Hibiscus Tea and Lemonade

3 · · Updated · 8 Comments

A little while back I reviewed a fun item that wasn’t too dissimilar to this Hibiscus Tea and Lemonade. It was Trader Joe’s Organic Tea and Lemonade. Essentially, what that drink was is more commonly known as an “Arnold Palmer.” Trader Joe’s Organic Cold Brewed Hibiscus Tea and Lemonade is a playful spin in a substantially smaller bottle.

Trader Joe’s Cold Pressed Pineapple Juice

4 · · Updated · 3 Comments

It wasn’t all that long ago when Trader Joe’s introduced the Cold Pressed Fuji Spiced Apple Cider. What I thought was a seasonal item, is still on shelves. Now, that means one of two things: either people hate it and its sitting there still (Yes, I’m looking at you Carrot Cake Spread taking up all that shelf space at my local stores) or it might mean they still are stocking it. Given the fact that its in the refrigerate aisle, it’s highly unlikely that it is just sitting there. So, now along side of it is Trader Joe’s Cold Pressed Pineapple Juice….

So, I want to make sure I’m not bombarding you all with everything pumpkin. Because this year, it seems that the seasonal flavors are being fanned out to include more apple and maple. Both are welcome additions. I welcome them even more if they are done well….

Trader Joe’s Kingslynn Green Tea

4 · · Updated · 5 Comments

The pros: Trader Joe’s Kingslynn Green Tea looks like a new tea that is done in the same spirit as much of Trader Joe’s coffee offerings.

The cons: If you don’t like the taste of green tea, you won’t be a fan of this. This priced $2 above the organic fair trade green tea already on store shelves.

The verdict:  …

Trader Joe’s To the Power of Seven Green Organic Juice Blend

72 · · Updated · 20 Comments

The pros: Trader Joe’s To the Power of Seven Green Organic Juice Blend is new and capitalizes on green juice popularity.

The cons: The primary flavors are celery juice, ginger spice, and apple. For something that should be healthy, I personally wasn’t blown away by the nutritional information of this product.

The verdict:  …

Trader Joe’s Matcha Almond Beverage

21 · · Updated · Leave a Comment

The pros: Trader Joe’s Matcha Almond Beverage is new to shelves. This is a half way point between a the canned matcha beverage and a matcha latte in terms of sweetness.

The cons: If you are not a matcha fan, then this is probably a flavor you can skip.

The verdict:  …

Trader Joe’s 100% Mango Juice from Carabao Mangoes

8 · · Updated · 4 Comments

The pros: Trader Joe’s 100% Mango Juice from Carabao Mangoes is sold in a four pack of cans. It’s good mango juice but…

The cons: Not terribly different from Trader Joe’s Mango Nectar. Since this can only be grown in the Philippines then this too is likely seasonal.

The verdict:  …

Trader Joe’s Cocoa Almond Cashew Beverage

5 · · Updated · 2 Comments

The pros: Trader Joe’s Cocoa Almond Cashew Beverage is a fantastic substitute for those who can have nuts but are dairy free, soy free, gluten-free or vegan. It’s also darn good if you also want to change. This is ultra pasteurized so it is shelf stable.

The cons: Not as smooth as chocolate milk, but this isn’t a milk product. Price. This is more expensive that buying Trader Joe’s Almond Beverage by the half gallon.

The verdict:  …

Trader Joe’s Tea Party

4 · · Updated · 2 Comments

The pros: Trader Joe’s Tea Party is a somewhat different variety pack of teas than last year’s Tasting of Ten Teas.

The cons: This does not come with its own infuser, you’ll want to have one ready. This is cheaper than last year’s tea gift set. Trader Joe’s does not currently sell the flavors individually. Directions are a bit unclear as to how much tea to water you should be adding.

The verdict:  …
