One of the better chamomile teas out there. If you let it steep too long it can get a bit strong, but this also means it is good for three re-steeps.

Flavors: Floral, Lemon Zest

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 10 OZ / 300 ML

drank Licorice Spice by Stash Tea
2955 tasting notes

This tea is a bit too sickly sweet for me when it is made hot, but that is mostly my personal preference. I can taste licorice root, citrus zest, cinnamon, and some other spices. The flavour is quite complex.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Earth, Licorice, Medicinal, Orange Blossom, Sweet

Boiling 4 min, 15 sec 1 tsp 12 OZ / 350 ML

Quite good iced. It is sweet enough on its own that it doesn’t need and sugar added.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Fennel Seed, Licorice, Orange Zest, Spices, Sweet

Preparation
Iced 4 min, 30 sec 3 tsp 51 OZ / 1500 ML

drank Double Bergamot Earl Grey by Stash Tea
2955 tasting notes

Lots of bergamot flavour, but I don’t notice much in the way of citrus. This tea can be re-steeped again without losing all its bergamot flavour, but the second cup isn’t quite as strong as the first.

Flavors: Bergamot, Earl Grey, Tannin

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 15 sec 1 tsp 12 OZ / 350 ML

This earl grey is ok, but nothing special. The bergamont flavour is medium intensity but lessens with each re-steep.

Flavors: Bergamot, Earl Grey, Earth, Tannin

Preparation
Boiling 4 min, 15 sec 1 tsp 10 OZ / 300 ML

Profile

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
