Royal Anandapur Tea Company in AK

[BabyPiglet]

Who's gotten tea here? I'll honest, I'm clueless about teas and was wondering if any of you can help me. I'm interested in this place and was wondering which of their teas would be most naturally sweet? I know some teas can be bitter and I hate bitter things. I'm probably taking a shot in the dark but I thought I'd ask anyways. I'd also like just general reviews of it.

Here's a link to their menu and I'm guessing a list of the teas they serve.

Bump....

I don't want this to get lost.

If you are not wanting to add sweetener, I'd probably stay safe and go with the green jasmine.

I tried the silver needle on the last trip and it barely had any flavor at all.

As a side note, the tea here is served so hot you can't drink it for like 20 minutes.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Oh, duh! I should've mentioned I didn't want to add any sweetener to it. But...what kind of sweeteners do they have available?

Thanks for the suggestion.

 

[GoodFairies]

I think they have granulated sugar, raw sugar, Splenda, and SweetnLow. I can't remember if they had Equal or not.

I am a huge tea drinker, so I am looking forward to this place on our upcoming trip. If they serve tea with the bag in, try not steeping it for too long. I bet if you ask the servers they may know what some of the sweeter teas are, too. Then let us know what you tried! I always stick with Earl Grey as I don't find it very bitter. And stay away from Oolong as it is very strong and bitter IMO.

Thanks guys.

Rooibos Vanilla should be very mild and sweet. It's a fave of mine.

That sounds perfect. I had my eye on that one in particular because it sounded good.

There tea is very good, very hot like the PP mentioned. We usually head straight there in the morning and camp out with a strong cup. I like the black teas in the morning with 2 sugars. Most of the time the CMs are very helpful if you tell them what you are looking for.

I am a big fan of the rooibos vanilla and the masala chai

i just peeked at the menu
I am totally getting my morning fix of chai latte lol

 

[BabyPiglet]

I'm like a tea virgin, so I'd like to ask.

What does the chai tea/latte taste like?

An oatmeal cookie! mmmmm...

 

[BabyPiglet]

Ooooh yum. I'm guessing because of the spices?

This is actually all helping me a lot. I don't like coffee at all but have been recently getting into teas. Now I have a lot of different 'must try' items.

 

[BabyPiglet]

This may sound silly, but can someone tell me what kind of cup they are served in?

No thats a good question. I was wondering too. I am a tea drinker and amazed this place missed my attention before reading this thread.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Bumppp.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Double bump.
