Another white tea that’s not too bad. I’d say it’s more of a yellow tea than a white, and tastes like sweet, floral hay. Nice cuppa for an afternoon pick me up and would make a good iced tea.

Flavors: Floral, Grassy, Hay, Sweet

I’m not a fan of white tea in general, but I like this one. Dunno if I can actually taste the pear or ginger, but its a general berry flavor with a floral aftertaste on the first steep only. I might try this as a cold brew.

Flavors: Berry, Floral, Sweet

Michelle – A friend (Sandy here on Steepster) has just moved to Colorado and plans to go to Happy Lucky Tea House sometime. I know Bonnie used to go a lot. Have you ever been in person or do you just order from them?

I have been in person, they are good people, but tell her to go when it’s not so crowded for better service. It’s one of my favorite tea houses :)

More lime than hibiscus, but its smooth and has a nice caffeine kick. Nice to try, and have on hand for a sleepiness emergency.

Flavors: Lime

Ooh I’ve been hoping for a lime guayusa to pop up. I always loved the blackberry lime from Butiki, so I shall check this one out!

This tea has so much potential and yet it just does not deliver. I do taste the maple and the cinnamon and the nutmeg, but no berries and no apple. I think I like the spice profile on the peach cobbler better and that got my vote today. Its kinda cool tasting two teas per day and voting with others to see which tea advances.

Part of the matcha madness this month. The dry leaf smells amazing and much like a pie. The first steep tasted very cobbler-like, cinnamon and nutmeg and vanilla. Not so much peach. The second steep is just a muted version of the first. A nice cuppa, not sure I’d purchase.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Sweet, Vanilla

I had too little water for the first steep, and too much for the second, but both were very cinnamony. I like the big red cinnamon flavor, but that’s just a single note here. An enjoyable cup, but I’m not sure I need this in my cupboard.

Flavors: Cinnamon

I tried a bag from the TTB and then bought a box online. This tea isn’t bad, it has a bit of an astringent bite so you know it is tea, and a nice jammy note at the end. I might prefer Taylor’s Assam for a caffeine kick, but this is a close second for a nice cuppa from a bag.

It’s nice with milk, too!

Advent tea pouch. I split this into two sessions and am liking this one better than the first. It’s a decent oolong, grassy, sweet, buttery and metallic. Not something I’d gravitate toward, but still a nice cup.

Flavors: Butter, Grassy, Metallic, Sweet

Hey I finished this! Wish it had more ginger. Better than some bagged chai but I don’t need to drink this again.

The issue with this tea is: can I remember that it becomes more chocolatey as it cools and can I wait that long before I start sipping. If I can do that, this is a nice daily drinker

Bio

I started drinking more tea about 10 years ago when I found that even my half -caf coffee was making me jittery and then sleepy after the caffeine wore off. While I started out with mostly Teavana, but soon expanded my tea cupboard to include lapsang souchon, pu-erh, Assam, and other strong black teas. I do enjoy oolongs, green, and other teas, as well as a nice tisane for an evening cuppa.
I’m not fond of jasmine or bergamont teas, though I’ll try anything once.
I am an avid traveler, hiker, soccer player/watcher.
I love trying new tea in new places, if you see something in my cupboard you want to try, hit me up for a swap!
