Another from David’s Tea carnival collection! This tea is very strange, because I love the root beer taste that pops up in the middle of the sip, then fades. The creamy vanilla is also very good, but what makes it strange is the cinnamon taste. It’s not just cinnamon. It’s like chewing a piece of cinnamon gum for a really long time. You know when most of the intense flavour is gone, but there is still a hint left in your gum and you can mostly taste faded cinnamon and well, gum… I like that taste personally. But maybe not so much in my tea. In the end, it does taste somewhat like root beer but I really wouldn’t say a root beer float. Maybe I’ll add a bit of milk next time to see… Must try this as iced tea. I did add some sweetener. Because, come on…Root Beer Float. That s just begging for extra sugar.

Oh and my new pearl 12oz timolino is sexy. That is all :P

Bio

I was introduced to the world of tea after trying to find a way to stop binging on sugar at night (I have a bit of insomnia). Then I had the brilliant idea of going to David’s Tea to get some sweet dessert-y teas to replace all the crap I was eating, whilst still satisfying my sweet tooth.

And then I tried an Oolong and I was done for.

So this is me, exploring the world of tea with excitement, spending way too much money on it, drinking impressive amounts of it, and although I do love flavoured teas, I am now beginning to try high quality straight teas, and trying to learn as much as I can. I have rarely been so passionate about something so quickly.

My boyfriend thinks I am crazy with all my teas. I actually hide some from him when I get deliveries, just so he won’t panic haha. When he does say something, I just reply that to me, tasting tea is like tasting wine, and it brings me the same kind of joy as eating chocolate or eating fine food. Only better.

Flavours I Like: Most fruits, Cinnamon, Licorice, Cloves, Pepper, Caramel, Vanilla, Chocolate, Cardamom, Floral Teas, Honey, Coffee, Pastry/Bread, Smoky, Woody

Flavours I dislike: strong vegetal tastes (a little is ok), Rooibos, Mate, Lemon, Raspberry (for the most part), Orange, Lavender, Eucalyptus, Overpowering Mint,

Other than that, un-related to tea, I love make-up artistry, parrots and birds (in real life, not objects lol), crime and trial stories, flowers, baking, wine, reading, collecting teapots and mugs and stand-up comedy.

I love Dexter, Orange is the New Black, Hannibal, all reality food and cooking series…

As I’m re-reading this I can’t help but to notice how I love extra dark things and extra happy things with no real middle. Hm. xD “I like staying up to date on murder trials…and drinking tea while bird watching!” I’m NOT weird, I swear. :)
