This week's episode features a whopping six teas, all part of the Mighty Leaf Abaca Tea Box (linked, with teas listed below). I thought it would be fun to review the teas throughout the previous week, with a couple teas being reviewed by others, and I'm happy with the results (both of the video experiment and the set itself). Host: Brandice Schnabel Guest Stars: Renae and Dianah Tea: Mighty Leaf Abaca Tea Box (6 Teas: Organic Breakfast, Bombay Chai, Marrakesh Mint, Organic Hojicha Green Tea, Rainforest Mate and Ginger Twist) For discussion of this and other episodes, or to ask questions about STeaP or tea in general, check out our online community.

This week's episode is an application to join Revision3 Beta, in hopes of eventually becoming a Revision3 show. It's not a full review episode, but next week will bring a special episode with several reviews done solely by yours truly, so stay tuned. I promise you that we will not be wearing the head gear any longer after this week, and if you'd like to leave some "Yes, STeaP is Revision3-worthy!" comments in the timeline to encourage Revision3 to give out some tea love, please feel free. As always, you can discuss the show here in the comments or at the Ning community (did you know that you can view the STeaP community on your mobile device in mobile format?), on Twitter (@STeaP), or by emailing Brandice at brandice [at] steaptv [dot] com. Stay tuned for next week's review of Mighty Leaf's Holiday Tea Box!

This week Joe and Brandice try two totally sweet teas from Mighty Leaf, the Orange Dulce (a sweet black tea) and Chamomile Citrus (a sweet herbal/tisane), both with notes of citrus. Both teas were steeped in boiling water, the tisane for five minutes and the black for four minutes. It was totally sweet.What is even sweeter is that we totally steeped the tisane a second time. What could be sweeter than that? We don't know. It was pretty sweet.For photos from this episode, visit our Flickr pool, and for more episodes and other tea tidbits, visit STeaPtv.com.

Tired of the winter weather? The endless snow, slush, and blistery winds? Well, STeaP visited the tropics this week, with two tropical-friendly teas. We first tried Mighty Leaf's Green Tea Tropical (which some of you won samples of, from our Twitter giveaway) with a 3 minute steep in rumbling water, then we gave Golden Moon's Coconut Pouchong a go with a 3 minute steep in boiled (and then momentarily cooled) water. Take a break from the cold and enjoy our tasting in the tropics! For more episodes and other tea tidbits, visit STeaPtv.com. Contact Joe and Brandice via steap@steaptv.com.
