Looking for some great tea blends

[RetroMetroChic]

I personally don't understand tea scents not my cup of tea, no pun intended. So I dont' know where to start. I usually avoid anything with tea in the name. But many of my customers are requesting tea blends.

Looking for strong throw in para-soy as well as some for B&B

What are some great Tea Blends, aka fruity teas, floral tea

or even plain teas etc

I have read Iced Kenon Black Tea was good to blend with has anyone tried

that with success, say could you make Raspberry Tea with it??

[ProudMarineMom]

I think the White Tea and Berries from Candle Science smells wonderful. I chose it as the free sampler to try and now wish I would have bought a larger size!

Didn't try it in my soy blend, just straight soy, 464, and it threw great for me. CS only gives it two leaves for soy, but I was impressed. And, it's safe for B&B.

Guava Green Tea is good from AH/RE.

I love the White Tea & Ginger from NG...made fab soap & lotion. I also like the plain White Tea from there also.

I use the Red Tea from Elements/Flickers as a mixer. Best basic tea fragrance I have found with no other notes. I love mixing it with rose or other florals and fruits to make the tea scent I want. I've also mixed it with sugar cookie or french vanilla for a great english tea and cookie/bisquits scent.

NG has many tea scents & I have heard many good reviews. Here are a few they offer... Boston Tea Party, Cranberry Apple Tea, Chai Tea, Mango Sage Tea, Mint Mango tea, White Tea & Ginger...

Don't forget the Cranberry Ginger Spice Tea from Elements. So good! It is one of my favorite scents of all time.

Oh, and I love Green Tea from Peak and Green Tea from Bert's Heaven Scent. They don't smell anything like each other to me, but are both great.

Green Tea & Cucumber (CM) from Aroma Haven. Also, Iced Tea from Lonestar.

I mix Orange Spice with the Black Keecum Tea and Make an Orange Spice Tea you could mix Spearmint E.O. for a Mint Tea, Mango for a Mango Tea it can go on and on for so many varities of scents.

Thanks everyone for all the great recs

I will try some of these out and definately will try red tea and Iced Kenon Black Tea. I'm liking the idea of blending my own.

CW white tea

Black Tea would be a good blend with just about anything you can imagine.

Raspberry

Blackberry

Bergamot

Any kind of Citrus

Jasmine

Vanilla

Honey

Peach

The most recent tea blend I've tried... a mixture of:

Black Tea, Vanilla, Berries, Green Grass, & Honeysuckle Jasmine.

Smells like Summer in the South.

Wow Great Ideas those sound awesome:cheesy2:

sounds like tea would be a great way for me to use up some of my

seldom used citrus and floral f.o's

And hopefully create some nice blends:)

Are you using the Scent Works Black Tea, does it have a good throw in parasoy do you know? With all the raves I imagine it does.

Candle Cocoon has...

Orange Tea & Crumpets.... Black Tea steeped with juicy orange and served with bakery fresh crumpets.

Oooh! I forgot that I have a sample of that stuff. It smells amazing!

BC North has a wildberry zinger tea that is pretty good.

Can anyone recommend the best FO that would smell the most like "iced tea" and where to get it. Would the black tea mentioned above be the best place to start? Thanks for any info.

I haven't tried it (yet!) but Lonestar has an "Iced Tea" FO that sounds yummy, not sure about the black teas mentioned earlier in this thread tho.

[LuminousBoutique]

White tea and berries from CS is one of my favorites and best sellers!

[jaxxcandles]

Thanks! I'll check out Lonestar!
