What is the difference between light, amber, and dark agave nectar?
Agave nectars are sold in light, amber, dark, and raw varieties. Light agave nectar has a mild, almost neutral flavor, and is therefore sometimes used in delicate tasting foods and drinks. Amber agave nectar has a medium-intensity caramel flavor, and is therefore used in foods and drinks with stronger flavors. Dark agave nectar has stronger caramel notes, and imparts a distinct flavor to dishes, such as some desserts, poultry, meat, and seafood dishes. Both amber and dark agave nectar are sometimes used "straight out of the bottle" as a topping for pancakes and waffles. Raw agave nectar also has a mild, neutral taste. It is produced at temperatures below 118 degrees F to protect the natural enzymes, so this variety is an appropriate sweetener for raw foodlists.
Ahhh.....that's why I didn't care for the dark agave in my tea. I have never liked caramel flavor in any beverage. I do however like the dark agave drizzled over yogurt with a little granola.

lol, I admit, I am a tea snob. Tea is a whole world all of its own and the varieties endless.
If you ever get the opportunity to try a black tea like Yunnan Golden from china or a first flush darjeeling from one of the estates in India, you'll never dip another bag.
"Snobs" don't bother me - you just know what you like!!
you may have already posted a good source for both of the above, if so, reference me to that place. I'd like to give it a try!

Absolutely!! And please, No tea bags, loose leaf preferred.

Oh, and here is a warning on tea terminology:
If a tea is described as "earthy" that means it tastes like dirt
If a green tea is decribed as "vegetal" that means it tastes like lawn clippings
Yes in the wide world of tea there are as many that qualify as downright nasty as there are that are great.

Thanks for the warning! will try the website after the holidays and shop a little! Thank you - enjoy your tea this holiday season!!
parlors are pretty scarce up in the Texas hills. Besides, my Dad has ink from everywhere in SE asia from Singapore to Bangkok. He has enough for both of us. I came close to getting a grim reaper, but that was a heavy metal thing and i got wise in time....
