I’m used to steeping my green teas around 80°C, so when T2 called for the Strawberry Bliss Chai (with a green base) to be steeped at 100°, I scratched my head a bit but I believed them. It worked out fine. Don’t steep for too long or it gets too bitey (damn cardamom) but after a short stint of steeping it’s a chilli sweet dream.
Preparation
OH YEAH, this is what I want a hearty tea to taste like! MMMMM. YUM. The dry scent is lovely, with the fruity sweetness of the lemon and blueberries, but then the pu’erh comes running through like a steamtrain. The wet scent is a bit off-putting, kind of almost like mud. VERY, VERY EARTHY. I was a bit scared off once I’d poured it, but thank gosh I went for it anyway. This is my kind of kick-in-the-guts tea.
Preparation
So essentially this is Sencha Sprinkles without the Sprinkles… still nice and toasty but missing the “oomph” that comes with the matcha in the Sprinkles. Happy to have some on hand, though – and maybe I’ll experiment with adding some matcha to it!
Preparation
Not-too-sweet, refreshing and cleansing. Great with milk and honey. Brew for maximum time to release all flavours! An absolute favourite in the evening after dinner. It’s a sweet treat without the guilt, and the mint is quite soothing too :)
Preparation
Bamboo tastes like peas! PEA TEA! So weird. It’s really lovely and fresh. Steep forever and re-brew up to three times.
Preparation
In an attempt to work through a bunch of my teas to clean up the cupboard a bit, I tried this one as my breakfast tea. I added half a teaspoon of sugar automatically and on first sip really wish I hadn’t. This is a naturally sweet tea, extremely so, and now it is too sweet. There are definite vanilla notes here, and I can sense something possibly fruit like as well. Overall a nice cup, but not a black for first thing in the morning, and definitely not one that I’ll be sweetening again.
Preparation
HAY GIRLIE! It sure has been a while!
I know I was dead set on sipping down my stocks, but in doing so I’ve come a little off balance (I need more black teas in my life than what I have left!) and T2 had a ridiculous sale where I picked up 250g of this (and a free tin) for only $20. I’m sorry but I can’t argue with that.
Also, it’s been so long and I forgot how much I enjoyed this.
My way to drink this bad boy this season is two scoops plus a scoop of milo plus a little bit of sugar. Steep and then a splash of milk on top. Though now I’m all out of cow this week, maybe I will pick up some vanilla soy again…!
