15082 tasting notes

sipdown….not that i’m concerned about that until next weekend since tomorrow i pick up the travelling tea box and tuesday i’ll be getting my american tea room order. so no point in even trying to work on sipdowns until i get those teas in, my swaps out and the travelling teabox out. heh This one hasn’t been too bad, but likely not a reorder.

keychange

OOooooh! what’re you ordering from the American tea Room?

TeaBrat

I haven’t found a cherry tea yet that I thought was any good…

Sil

i ordered brioche finally – poor tastybrew can stop having to send me samples to tie me over lol as well as 11 other sample sizes and a larger size of the caramel black…never tried it but figure if i don’t love it, lots of ppl like caramel blacks heh

Sil

Amy – most of them are pretty much cough syrup. the chocoalte offsets that in this one so it’s not like those types but it’s also not cherry enough

keychange

oh! didn’t know they had a caramel black. I should look into that.

I tried teaspot’s chocolate cherry bomb awhile back. It was good, but also not something I’d buy again.

Hmmm. I’ll have to try this one today now that you guys have reminded me of it! Also, it’ll get me closer to a sipdown!

Sil

yep..you have enough for 2ish sil sized mugs haha

drank Kangaita GBOP (Kenya) by Steam Tea House
15082 tasting notes

thank you omgsrsly! I rather enjoyed this one today. I’d see how your brother feels about this one since it’s more readily available than some of the other teas. I can’t remember much about it but there was nothing funny about it that made me NOT want to drink it this morning and i drank it all up! thanks so much for sharing!

drank Vanilla Bean Black Tea by sTEAp Shoppe
15082 tasting notes

today has been a no good very bad day. Door into the face on the bus, elbow smashed on my head on the subway, spilled crap on myself, tripped up stairs, bad news on the work front.

So i drank some tea, wished for more…has a pumpkin scone for breakfast and 3 flavours of gelato for lunch. so there.

keychange

Did you find this tea very vanillay? Also, I’m sorry the day was so bad—the good news is that it’s just about over, and hopefully you can rest and feel recharged tomorrow morning. Things have a way of feeling so much worse when you haven’t rested.

Sil

this one isn’t bad…but angrboda sent me a vanilla tea that i vastly prefer. But i keep trying them all just in case haha

ifjuly

it IS the 13th…

Nicole

Scones and gelato are wins at least. :)

QueenOfTarts

Pumpkin scone!

Indigobloom

tea hugs!!

Terri HarpLady

oooh, pumpkin scone…sigh…I want one of those with a stout malty cup of something for breakfast!
I hope you have an easy going weekend!

tigress_al

drank Strawberry Daiquiri Honeybush by 52teas
15082 tasting notes

this is pretty awful. Smells decent but cold brew, hot brew it’s just gross. The strawberry is artificial and the “daquiri” piece of it leaves a not all all like the alcoholic drink gross after taste. Kittenna hope you like this more than me! haha

drank Brioche Organic Tea by American Tea Room
15082 tasting notes

I’ve been hoarding my sample from tastybrew but now that my order has arrived with my tea mule, i can finally start drinking this one again! I still love this quite a bit (possibly even more than cinnamon swirl…) so that makes me happy since i picked up 2oz of it heh

Courtney

I’ve also been hoarding this one haha!

drank Bukhial - TGFOP by The Tea Emporium
15082 tasting notes

Not too much to say about this one, trying to catch up on my logs from today. I’ve been drinking this one a little more often because it’s one of my older teas but also because it’s a nice cup to start the day with.

drank Chocolate Orange by Bayswater Tea Co.
15082 tasting notes

mmm yes please and thank you! Last cup of the evening because i got distracted trying to plan vacations. This not only smells delicious but it tastes so very good as well. It’s orange and creamy but it’s also chocolate. I’m not a rooibos hater either so this is darn tasty. Thanks to Cavocorax for this one. I’m a fan!

Terri HarpLady

I’m jealous that you & cavo got to hang out! :)

Sil

someday you and i can hang out and then they will all be jealous of us ;)

Terri HarpLady

That’s right! AND we’ll flaunt it! :)

TeaLady441

Sorry you’re not in range to visit, Terri!

And Sil, I’m happy you like this. Keep in mind that I’d probably be up for an order from Bayswater some time in the future!

drank Steamed Asian Pear by Steam Tea House
15082 tasting notes

I’m hoping that i just over steeped this one. It’s got a weird bitter type taste to it that i am NOT a fan of. It smells heavenly! There are some serious grassy notes underlying the flavour as well, rather than blending nicely. I’ll give this one another shot later and pay more close attention to what i’m doing. Thanks to omgsrsly for sending this my way!

drank Mango Watermelon Honeybush by 52teas

Sip down! Finished this off tonight with a cold brew. So delicious! Little sad to see this one go, but also ok with it since winter is coming and my cold brew consumption will start going down. :)

Bio

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling as well!

Most of that is on hold these days though, including tea drinking like I used to as I have a new little one who eats up all my spare time.
