Texas Tea from Austin Texas. Nacogdoches blueberry green tea. This tea was very tasty you could smell the blueberries right when you open the cap. This tea tasted great. A strong blueberry taste but not too strong to mask the green tea. The blueberries that made Nacogdoches famous are a great addition to green tea. The bottle had some interesting facts about Nacogdoches’ history. An example was that the town had flown nine different flags over the years. This tea is a great tribute to the oldest town in Texas. Rated 4.85 outta 5.-D
Texas Tea, Nacogdoches Blueberry Green Tea. I usually don’t like tea( I know, I know who doesn’t like tea?) but I LOVE this one, I think this tea and Sweet leaf are making me come to my senses. The blueberry taste was wonderful and crisp. Has a slight pucker to it. Great smell like D said, could really smell the blueberries as soon as you open the cap! 4.5 outta 5. -A

H-E-B Specialty Series Barbeque Sauce Texas. Grocery store based out of San Antonio, Texas with locations throughout Texas. This sauce seems to only go well with beef products( like stated on the bottle) It had a very strong A-1 steak sauce taste. A little on the thick side but had good texture. Did like the chunks of pepper for the added spice. . This sauce does compliment beef, but not so much on pork products. I was a little let down and I expected a little more taste and versatility with this sauce. Stop by your local H-E-B store and give it a try for yourself! 3 outta 5. –A
H-E-B Texas barbecue sauce. This sauce was too thick in my opinion. It didn’t pour unless you hit the back of the bottle. It has a strong A-1 steak sauce after taste which I didn’t care for either. I has raised if you needed A-1 on a steak it wasnt a good steak. While I do like a lot of H-E-B products this one was a slight let down. It didn’t have a good taste at first till the steak sauce flavor hit. Give it a try if you like a bbq/steak sauce. Rated 2.8 outta 5.-D

Zummo party time sausages from Beaumont Texas. These sausages are made of pork and beef. They have a slight hickory smoke taste to them. They have a good casing and are very juicy. You can taste all the spices used. A nice slight garlic taste to them. One of the better sausages I have had. They are one of the best selling sausage in East Texas. Can’t wait to eat more. I would recommend this pr
oduct to all that like to grill sausages. Rated 4.8 outta 5-D
Zummo Party Time Sausages. These pork and beef sausages were literally bursting with flavor! Great casing, held together well. Great texture and all the spices messed well together. I can’t stress enough how juicy these sausages were. Perfect amount of spice and slight smoke taste. These are great on their own and even throwing them on a bun with all the fixin’s! I agree with D on that these are one of the best sausages I’ve ever had. Gotta love Texas made food! Rated 4.9 outta 5 -A

Joe T. Garcia's Salsa Picante (Medium) Made in Fort Worth, Texas. Also a restaurant in Fort worth( if anyone has eaten there please let me know how it is!) Great taste at a great price. I just recently tried this salsa a few days ago and I was really impressed. Great texture and thickness. I can really taste all the ingredients with each bite. The jalapeno and tomatoes were fresh tasting and the s
altiness really brought everything together in this salsa. Nice heat from the jalapeno. Can't wait to try the Hot version. If you see it and if you're a fan of good quality salsa, pick some up! 4.7 outta 5. - A

Fort Worth based Joe T, Garcia's salsa tasted great. Very fresh tasting vegetables. It wasnt too runny(which i hate salsa being runny) It had ok amount of heat from the jalapenos.Nice sized tomatoes and a nice slight taste of garlic. What i really liked about this salsa was the saltiness. It reminded me of the taste of salt around the edge of the glass of a bloody mary. Comes in mild, medium(which we tested) ,and hot. Give them i try. I dont think you will regret it. Rated 4.6 outta 5.-D

Sweet Leaf green tea with citrus. This is an Austin Texas made product. The tea was great tasting and you could smell the citrus right before you drink it. It is an all organic tea. The citrus flavor consisted of orange, lemons and tangerines. A very refreshing drink. If you like green teas’s give this one a try. It’s great. Also comes in green tea with mint and honey flavor. This can was only a dollar. Rated 4.8 outta 5.-D

Chick-o-stick by Atkinson's of Lufkin, Texas. Being that Halloween is just around the corner we decided to do a candy review. What better candy to do a review on than one of Texas' oldest candy. Chick-o-stick have been made since the great depression. These candies are great. The come in various sizes. They consist of a peanut butter center dipped in corn syrup and then toasted coconut. They have
a great taste that reminds me of my childhood eating these candies around Halloween time. They have a slightly hard exterior and a brittle peanut butter center. One of my favorite candies rated 4.9 outta 5-D
Chick-O-Stick! Great candy, eating one right now actually! Not usually a fan of harder candies and coconut, but I love Chick-O-Sticks! Great peanut butter flavor, can't even taste the coconut. If you've never had one, its kinda like a Butterfinger without the chocolate. Great with Seaport Coffee too! ;) 4.7 outta 5 -A

Southside Market beef sausage. This product is from Elgin Tx. This sausage was very juicy and had an ok beef flavor. A bigger size sausage than others. It had a nice casing that snapped when cut and bit into. My only complaint was it lacked a strong smoked beef flavor. Rated 3.75 out of 5.-D
Southside Market Smoked Beef Sausage from Elgin, Tx. A meat market and BBQ restaurant that was started in 1882. T his sausage was very moist, and tender. Good casing other than the ends where the casing became very tough. Not as much smoke flavor and spices as I would have liked, but after browsing their site, I found that there is a few different flavors to choose from that would offer such qualities. Also paired well with the Salt Lick BBQ sauce and was good enough to eat by itself. Overall good texture, succulent, and good taste. 4.0 out of 5. -A
