Soo a few weeks ago by bro sent me some tea…I told him that I’ve been drinking herbals more lately, so he sent me a few different chamomile teas. xD Not exactly what I was expecting.
But like He got tea a few months ago and was acting like it was just all that, and it was Twinnings, and like English Breakfast teas, two things which I really really dislike. So I didn’t trust him. xD He doesn’t know good tea, and since I have been drinking a lot of herbal teas, I thought it was a safe bet….
Well…let’s just say…his picks are most interesting.
For one, he sent me this like menstrul tea, literally-that’s the name…and it smells absolutely horrible. Like I have no idea why he sent me that….but like I really wanna throw it away. Sooo badly. But I just will kinda feel guilty about it….He probably thought itwould help my pain or something….which no matter how many times I explain my health issues to him, he just doesn’t get it….So yeah…that’s awkward….
Also this tea adds to his bad thinking too. xD Chamomile might make me feel relaxed, like my muscles for a bit, but doesn’t help my nerves. xD Ohhh Adam. You tried. xD
Anyway!
With that back story I’ll just say this was an alright tea. Not the best. Not the worst. Like I highly doubt I’ll finish it….It’s so much tea, like I’m either gonna just give half of it away or send it away in a swap or something. It’s just a weird combo of things.
Dry leaf smelled like chamomile, of course.
But when I drank it, it was sweet and kinda flowery, but also sour from the chamomile and minty from the peppermint…It’s just a weird blend of things…I’m sure it’s a tea that will grow on me, but it just is an odd tea. That’s for sure.
I am not gonna rate it because I still don’t know what to think of it :S Oy….

Bio

I’m not too sharp with intros, but I figured it is about time to give it a go.
I started out drinking oolong and green tea that my dad brought home from his China business trips.
Then I discovered Teavana, and fell in love with some of their teas. Eventually I stumbled across Steepster, and a whole ‘nother world opened up.
Have discovered so many different kinds of teas, and have been loving this journey! The tea world is insanely big and amazing! And I’ve met some of the kindest people here who have broadened my horizons in more ways I could have imagined! Happy to be here, and to be drinking so many amazing teas! :D

My rating system:
1-59: Really really not a fan. An awful cup of tea for me…Totally undrinkable.

60-69: Not horrible, but not something I’d ever drink again willingly.

70-79: Pretty good. Wouldn’t mind drinking ever so often. But not a keeper.

80-100: FREAKIN’ AMAZING. Always keeping on stock in my home!!

I like pretty much any kind of tea except green tea. Unless it’s genmaicha or strongly flavored, I don’t like it usually.

My Tea Goals:
To find the Best Caramel Tea
To find the Best Vanilla Tea
To find the Best floral Oolong
To find the Best Malty Assam Tea
To find the Best Maple/Syrup Tea

Notes I like: Fruit(primarily peach, melon/honeydew, Banana, Kiwi, but I’m open to other kinds), Malt, Desserts (Toffee, Cake, Cookie,etc), Vanilla, Caramel, Floral, Sweet potato, Pastry/Bread,Jasmine, Honey, Cocoa, Chocolate, Maple, Nutty, Coconut, Almond.

Notes I’m Picky with: Lemon, Chai, Roasted, Blueberries, Hibiscus, Smoke, Earthiness, Puerhs, White Teas, and Cinnamon

Notes I hate: Citrus/Orange (Everything that I hate in this life that I have to take for my health is orange flavored, and it just makes me gag…so please…just no), Watermelon, Raspberry, Wood, Apple, Bacon, Lavender, Most mints, Pepper, Spicy, Tart/sour.

Yes, I am a picky tea drinker, but I’ll usually try any straight black or oolong tea that I receive. I like most oolongs, and I’m still discovering straight blacks. They always seem to surprise me no matter what!

And Swaps! I’m always down for swapping. Everything in my cupboard is swap-able. So just hit me up and send a message and we can totally do that!

On an unrelated to tea note, my other interests are limited due to health issues. But when I can, I enjoy reading and writing. Watching Netflix and YouTube have also been fantastic when I feel awful (which is most of the time).
I love Rifftrax, Rooster Teeth, Dexter, Hannibal, BBC’s Robin Hood, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Psych, and Parks and Rec.
Love watching all sorts of movies too, but that would be too much to list. :P
I’m definitely more of an internet person and love talking to people on every website I’m on. So if you ever wanna chat, shoot me a message! ^^
