Oh no getting down to the bottom of my bag :(
I love the subtle flavour of this tea. Creamy eggnog—yum. Will have to add it to my list of things to order (lets see if I can hold off til June!) Oh well at least I still have some Pistachio Ice Cream left :)

One of my go to teas for brewing at work in my Libre travel tea glass. A perfect creamy oolong that doesn’t get bitter when left in my travel mug (when purposely underleafed because of the extended brew time it gets when I am at work)

Ok had this in my Libre travel glass at work yesterday. I have been searching for teas that I can just throw the leaves in my mug fill with hot water and forget about until my next break which is usually a few hours later. I have found if I underleaf some oolongs and Rooibos teas I am able to still enjoy them hours later. This one is one of them, no bitterness at all detected :)

Mmmm had this last night so good :)
I tried a second steeping to make this lovely tea last and I must of left it brewing too long and got a slight bitterness to the second steeping :( …oh well I drank it anyways! I wasn’t very careful with timing because I don’t usually expect to get good second steepings from flavoured teas. I should be more careful and maybe my tea will last longer!

Mmmm orange and chocolate (and marshmallow). I can’t really pick out the marshmallow flavour…but that’s ok I was more interested in the chocolate orange flavour anyways. I have tried this with and without added almond milk and I like it both ways. Really nice flavoured black tea :)

Finally tried this lovely sample I got in my order…thanks Stacy!
It amazingly smells of melon and the taste is a generic melon taste (as opposed to watermelon) to me too, but that definitely could be due to me not adding sugar. The only reason I don’t add sugar is because I want to cut down on my sugar consumption. I also accidentally oversteeped it so it may have affected the taste of the tea:( I am finding that I like more nutty flavours right now so since I have cantaloupe and cream I probably won’t add this to my shopping list yet.

drank Lychee Oolong by Butiki Teas

Mmm nice floral lychee notes with an oolong base. Nice change from the straight oolongs I have but would probably only stock a small amount for when I’m craving a scented tea.

I am pretty new to trying different types of loose leaf teas. Growing up we only ever had Chinese restaurant tea or bagged orange pekoe. Later on I tried genmai cha at the Japanese restaurants and added that permanently to my tea cupboard.

So far, I like oolongs and black. Most often I drink straight teas but I do like some flavoured ones as long as they don’t taste fakey or chemically. I would like to try more greens, whites and more Rooibos’ as well as anything that doesn’t have caffeine in it to add to my cupboard.

An attempt at a rating system:
90-100 worthy of being permanently stocked in my cupboard
80-89 great tea would love to have in my tea cupboard but probably in smaller quantities
70-79 very nice tea but I don’t necessarily have to have it
60-69 will drink it but not choose to stock it
50-59 prefer not to drink it unless it is all I have
<50 total miss for my tastes
