Your note just put a silly grin on my face :) One reason is because it’s a blast living vicariously through you in regard to your trip. The second reason is that this is the first true “firstie” note that I’ve seen here and it just tickled me. I read the AV Club online and the Firsties/response to firsties always crack me up XD

Unfortunately my trip is coming to an end. Last stop Lupicia. I think that’s a good thing as I have too much tea. Some has to go.

I’m almost never first. Couldn’t believe I got first on this one.

@SoccerMom :P

So glad I skipped this one on my initial tea bag mass purchase.

Ricky 15 years ago

Even bad teas should be tried :)

Doesn’t this one come in the tazo variety packs?

i don’t think that, even cold, this tea would be salvageable

After having a bit more a tad plainer then I remembered but it’s bugging me. Not sencha, dragon well? I don’t know what it is. It tastes so familiar! Okay time for more tazo.

A hotel that serves something better than Lipton? *faints from shock *
XD

Ohhh is this a Sheraton? I had Starbucks coffee and Tazo tea the last time I stayed in a Sheraton. So much better than the Bigelow teas stocked by most hotels.

Ricky 15 years ago

I know. Tazo! craziness! I’ve been trying all these different tazo teas lately.

Nope, I’m at Westin hotel.

Are you sure you already paid for it and it isn’t one of those things they bill you for by consumption?

Uh-oh! I just bought a box of this because I like the one sample I had of it! But I looked back at my notes and saw that I oversteeped that one (7 min instead of the recommended 4-5) so maybe that’s the trick…?

:(

Ricky 15 years ago

Yeah, I noticed after I threw the tea satchel away that everyone else steeped longer than I did :(

@Samovar?! Lucky!

Ricky 15 years ago

I’m trying to decide what tea or teas I should try!

Cofftea 15 years ago

Duh… all!:)

Ricky 15 years ago

If money grew on trees, I would try them all :)

I’ll definitely be purchasing a few tins when I get there.

JacquelineM 15 years ago

Have fun in SF!!! Last year at this time I was wandering around SF too :) I miss it!! Think of us as you take your first sip of magic elixir at Samovar!

I’d love to see the purple tea, but the thought of lavender is not appealing at all, sigh haha.

Suzi 15 years ago

Was it worth your $2 to see the purple tea? :D

Best two dollars spent! Probably not, but I’ll pretend it was ;)
