A new company from Canada (bought on Etsy, they had free shipping offer for some teas), so I took three 20 grams samples. Got one tea as thank you. I know it’s not great time to adding new teas as database is quite slow nowdays, but I couldn’t help myself :). This tea was actually what I was searching for and why I placed the order.

I have used two teaspoons for my 300 ml cup, steeped for around 3-4 minutes.

I was like hit with the sweetness of the tea, both aroma and taste. It was really on the sweet note, the base tea was very nice and bready, bit malty as well. I have hoped that lemon peel will make it bit on lighter side and more refreshing, but probably too little of it in this cup.

Wasn’t that bad, just too sweet for me (but I am tired and maybe my taste buds are bit out right now :D )

I slept three hours, maybe bit more, had long night shift and then was hot morning so I couldn’t sleep at all. But now, it is after thunderstorms and weather is nice.

But Steepster is so slow! And I hit like on many tasting notes, but it seems it haven’t saved. Anyone can post it to discussion?

Flavors: Bread, Floral, Honey, Malt, Sweet

Your tea sounds quite nice. Maybe the lemon peel would be more apparent if the tea was iced?

I can’t post to the discussion boards anymore either. I used to be able to, and now this account no longer can. I had to make a brand-new account called “mastressalitaclone” just to use the message boards, which is ridiculous. My Profile Information was also deleted (though I had a backup at least, just like I always write all my tea notes externally and have them backed up, too…)

I’m always on the hunt for Canadian tea companies to try, so I’ll have to check this one out!

Martin Bednář

White Antlers: I will very probably give it a try
Mastress Alita: I have noticed that in discussion, I can access, but I can’t write. Hopefully it will be soon resolved including everything for you!
Courtney: Give them a try :) I think they are really small business, maybe the blends are prepared just before shipping. And their packaging is nice too!

Leafhopper

Yes, Steepster is slow for me as well, and I keep getting 504 errors. Ugh!

White Antlers

Me too with the 504 errors.

mrmopar

Slow here too Martin. Be sure and catch up on your rest!

Leafhopper

Steepster is still slow. I’m also not sure if my dashboard is being updated, as my review for Seaberry Spa is the last one I see and it’s almost a day old. Maybe everyone’s waiting for the site to stabilize before posting their reviews?

Mastress Alita

I know that is the case for me, Leafhopper. I have around 6 reviews still on my Steepster.txt and I’m not about to try posting them to the site right now due to how unstable and unusable it has been for me since the switchover. The site is slow to the point where I am having trouble even trying to catch up on my giant backlog of review reading, and I’m constantly interrupted with the 503/504s taking it back down again.

I think many of us actually do that Leafhopper. It is so unstable so often it’s down and you can’t post at all, while others wait till situation is better.
