Just got my Happy Turtle Tea order. . . And because this one is an “IT” fandom blend, I had to try it. (I’m a big horror fan and Stephen King fan)

Being a flavored puerh, I was a bit worried about how this blend was going to come together. I haven’t really liked flavored puerhs so far. The added marshmallows and sprinkles added even a bit more worry but also added intrigue. So I went ahead and placed a small sample order to try a few blends.

This is truly a weird tea-puerh, strawberry & hazelnut flavoring, marshmallows, and sprinkles. The puerh is pretty muted and the sugar from the marshmallows and sprinkles is the star of the blend. I am picking up the strawberry which I do like and wish was a bit stronger. The sugary up front flavor is a bit much for me but I’m hoping the second infusion the spotlight will be more strawberry hazelnut puerh.

Can’t decide if I’m a fan or not. . .on the fence about this one. . .

Flavors: Strawberry, Sugar, Sweet

I’ve had pu-erh and strawberry together, which worked…but I’d think the hazelnut would make it wonky.

I need to find a solid strawberry puerh blend minus the marshmallows and sugar sprinkles. I love the look of the blend- but I think you are right, the hazelnut is throwing me.

Wish I could remember the genus and species of the strawberry pu-erh I tried…

That one has been on my wishlist for a while, might be time to do a Lupicia’s order and properly use my Christmas tea money from my parents :)

Brutaliteas has a black/puerh blend with hazelnut, strawberry, and cocoa nibs that’s really tasty!

@amandastory516 I’ve been seeing a lot about Brutaliteas too lately. By any chance do you remember what that blend was called? I’m not seeing it on the site but could totally be missing it.

Nichole: I found it on Steepster and it’s called Assam a Go-Go

Nichole- Sorry…Lexie is correct, it’s called Assam a Go-Go!

I’m back and hopefully for good! After a bit of a hiatus, I want to get back in the habit of logging my tea journey for various reasons.

I never know how to start these things. I’m a 40ish tea loving gal who enjoys tea parties, horror movies and polka dots/plaid. I have an amazing supportive husband who has allowed our house to be over run by tea in more ways than one. We have four kiddos between us along with our two furbabies that we love as much as they drive us nuts. Our family truly is our world.

Now on to the tea: I love all kinds. I’m not a huge fan of red rooibos- truly is my arch enemy but I love green rooibos. Beyond that, I’ll try everything once or twice to make sure I didn’t bumble up the steepings. Recently got into puerh and enjoying the adventure. If you are interested in something from me, just holler at me. I’m always up for trying new tea blends or sharing with others!

I’ve also started blending up my own teas at http://www.cuppageekteas.com/ I try to make fun unique blends to brighten someones day with.

I am also the admin behind SororiTea Sisters. If you are interested in reviewing teas for us, let me know!. We are always looking for guest reviewers or contributors: http://sororiteasisters.com/.
