Having a relaxing cup of tea while I get in some reading tonight. Hoping for an early night to catch up on some much needed sleep. Still enjoying this one, but i’d like to finish it off soon so i can take a break from it before the fall rolls around again haha

Final Count: 111

Autistic Goblin

last tea of the day…. figured i’d finish with another oldie AND a goodie :) It’ll start warming up soon, so i need to finish this one up soon :) still my favourite pumpkin tea – love the ginger in here.

Final Count: 114

Fjellrev

Damn you, onto the wishlist this goes.

Sil

the woman who makes it uses real pumpkin from her garden. Terri bought us an entire pound last year…we’re both still working through it i think haha

Fjellrev

That’s amazing. Talk about local and fresh for Terri haha.

Sil

let me know, can always send you a litle.

probably the last tea of the year since i’m finding myself more thirsty for water at the moment than anything. Figured i should pull out one of my old favourites in an effort to get closer to a sipdown with one of them instead of hoarding it. Still love this one…ginger and bits of real pumpkin! what’s not to love? now to settle in with a little tv before bed with my other half and rental dog. yay for quiet evenings in for new years.

Final Count:146

Dexter

146 is pretty awesome!!!

Fjellrev

Sounds uber tasty, and I’m uber impressed by your iron kidneys. You’re sure paring down that number.

Nicole

I swear, if I ever get a dog, I’m gonna have to seriously consider calling it Rental Dog.

Evol Ving Ness

Iron kidneys. :)

Sil

you guys are funny. :)

so much pumpkin around everywhere that i felt compelled to pull this one out today. Still my favourite pumpkin tea! I’m glad i still have a bunch of this left from when terri and i picked up a stupidly obscene quantity of this haha.

Terri HarpLady

It’s so good, and honestly, I can’t believe we both still have some, LOL.
Especially when it’s getting close to a year since we got it!
It’s one of those teas that I drank a lot when we first got it in, then was like, “uh oh…I don’t want to drink it all and run out & have to wait for months to get more” so then I started rationing it out. Time to drink up!

Terri HarpLady

BTW, what kinds of tea does Ian like?

Sil

uh… he doesn’t really like tea. he had one tea he liked.. that he drank twice in the two years we had it… mostly he appreciates tea for the joy it brings me lol

Terri HarpLady

At least the one tea he likes isn’t the one you dislike, LOL
I’m talking about Tony & I and his love for earl grey :)
Not that I really mind, but any fantasies I’ve ever had of a romantic green tea ceremony, puerh session, or just sharing a pot of tea went out the window long ago. He has his teapot, I have mine. But at least I have a nice tray to carry our teapots & cups on, and we do drink tea together on the weekends. That’s good enough :)

Autistic Goblin

Is there such a thing as an obscene quantity of tea? If so I have never heard of it and refuse to believe it exists!

Sil

helena – maybe just an obscene amount of ONE tea… lol

Autistic Goblin

If that were possible which it isn’t I would have too much Laoshan Village Chai

Noms. Still love this one…so glad that Terri introduced me to it. I have enough to last me for a while yet thanks to her! it’s more delicious in the fall because of the flavour profile, but it’s still a tasty treat in the evenings :)

Terri HarpLady

I’m still enjoying it too, although I’m getting closer to the bottom of my bag…sigh…
Fall is just around the corner!

tea from last night and i am still in love. the fresh pumpkin chunks are delicious!

Final Count: 110 (which means i’m officially allowed to make purchases again AFTER i come up with a plan to get down to 50 by year end. heh)

Fjellrev

Chug it! Not a very solid plan but it should get you there haha.

Sil

hahaha if i’d stop buying puerh i’d probably be ok lol

Fjellrev

OH god yeah, forgot about that. So lucky I don’t drink it haha.

this is back in my cupboard courtesy of terri and that makes me SUPER happy. This is especially potent since my previous experience with this tea was from a bag terri had already opened and shared with me. with this bag, it was sealed and super fresh. Opening it was an explosion of delicious ginger and pumpkin. i love this tea…it’s ginger and REAL pumpkin chunks…and spice. make no mistake, this is a pumpkin SPICE tea…but damn it’s good. thank you so much for this terri!

Final Count: 173

Terri HarpLady

I’m still enjoying mine, & hopefully we’ll get to order this every year from now on.

Sil

yes please!

best. pumpkin. tea. ever. + ginger! i am going to be so sad when this is gone…which now that i’ve opened the pouch is going to be soon….TOOO SOON

Final Count: still 141 sigh 11 more teas to go… but 1 swap and likely some purchases coming up…

Terri HarpLady

I’m thinking I should go to traveling Tea & get a sample of everything she has, & send them ALL to you! HAHAHAHAHA! I was gonna do that with trail lodge teas too, but she doesn’t have sample sizes anymore.

Sil

Oh god…

since i was all “let’s dig into THE BOX” to celebrate 4k tasting notes, i may have pulled out 2 of my three teas. This being the second one, since if you’re going to go crazy and dig in to THE BOX, you might as well pull out more than 1 tea. haha This tea, in case anyone is wondering, is hands down the best pumpkin tea out there. PLUS it has the added bonus of having ginger in it – which makes all teas better imo (unless they’re dessert teas) AND it’s a rooibos tea.

VariaTEA

What’s the third tea?!

Terri HarpLady

I’ll have to agree, it is the number 1 pumpkin tea, without a doubt. I hope she makes it again when fall comes, & I may plant pumpkins this year, & give her some to make us a bunch of it! :)

Terri HarpLady

I only wish I still had some…sigh…

Sil

that would be awesome Terri.
VariaTEA – mousse au chocolate – hard to get, expensive and probably my favourite chocolate tea. that being said, i also wouldn’t want it in copious quantities either as it would fade..

keychange

mouse au chocolat is where it’s at, for sure.

ohfancythat

What’s “The BOX” ?? :)

ohfancythat

Oh never mind, I see below!

keychange

sil, can mouse au chocolat be purchased from most mf locations? or is it one of those teas that’s like “only available in one store in the world on October 4th at 5 mountain time” offerings?

Sil

It’s available all the time but it’s damn expensive…you can only buy it in ether tin and it’s like 25 euro for 100g? Ie. stupidly priced and not worth it, except as an indulgence heh

keychange

Wow, that’s pretty expensive. Damn. Still worth it on occasion though!

Mallory Louise

Sil, it takes two days and several pumpkins to make less than a pound of tea. I promise you, IT’S WORTH IT!

Sil

Mallory – the expensive comment was about mousse au chocolat.
I adore pumpkin ginger from travelling tea. It’s not 25 euro and IS way worth it :)

Mallory Louise

Oh, good! I was apparently not reading carefully. My apologies!

sad…sad…sad…sipdown. I resteeped the heck out of this one, knowing it was my last go around of this until next year. I have to say that this is without a doubt my favourite pumpkin tea. Thank you so much for sharing Terri!

Terri HarpLady

It’s what we do! :)

love. this. tea. seriously. Talk about tasting like actual pumpkin – which of course has something to do with the GIANT chunks of pumpkin in this. So happy terri shared this with me. I thought tonight’s cup would finish off what she sent me but i’ve got enough for another sil sized cup another night. Perfect, since i can resteep this tonight for a couple of cups of goodness.

Back to work tomorrow AND a friend of ours is coming to crash at our place since he still doesn’t have power. While i am totally cool with that, it also means i may need to go in to work tomorrow instead of working from home. but we’ll see.

and tomorrow i get to liberate my mail from jail! WOOHOO!

Fjellrev

I’m glad you still have power!

TERRI! I WANT MOAR! seriously..this is damn tasty! It’s my christmas mor-er-afternoon tea and this is so delicious. Please remind me next year we want lots of this. This might be my favourite pumpkin tea this year.

Edit: this resteeps really nicely since you can brew it and forget it lol This is pretty much all i’ve had since we got up this afternoon.

Terri HarpLady

YAY!! I knew you’d love it!
The best part is she roasts & then dehydrates the pumpkins herself. I don’t know if she grew them, or if a friend of her’s grew them, but they are locally grown. Anyway, yeah, next year we have to load up on it for sure!

Login or sign up to leave a comment.

Sil, can you believe I still have some of this?
Should we do another crazy order this year?
I love this tea. It’s one of the only rooibos teas I enjoy, and I really do enjoy it. I’m pretty close to the bottom of the bag, and I think I should just go crazy drinking it every night for the next week or so, because hopefully there will be a new batch in my near future!

Sil

haha i still have some of mine too because the summer was so hot!

Terri HarpLady

I say lets drink up & be merry!

I had a wonderful day with my family, (4 adult kids, 3 grandkids, various significant O’s), with lots of delicious food. My last cup of tea today was this one, my favorite rooibos blend, an all natural combo of real roasted & dehydrated pumpkin (locally organically grown), pepita seeds, ginger & spices. It is delicious. It is made by a local company.
At this point I have to publicly apologize to Sil, because I still haven’t mailed her half of the order off. Sorry sister, I will hopefully get to the PO this week!

Sil

Do not worry about it. It’s been a busy time. I have a box for you as well, but I’m waiting for one more thing to come in the mail so I can add that surprise for you.

The final cup. So sad to see this one go. This calls for a hot bubble bath & iPad Mahjong. I’ll miss this tea, but hopefully it will return in the fall. Until then…

Sil

waaaaaaaannnnttttt…………

Terri HarpLady

Yours is on it’s way. I was tempted to defile the package, lol, but I left it intact.

mrs.stenhouse12

This sounds ridiculously amazing :D

Sil

misslena… best.pumpkin.tea.ever….EVER

mrs.stenhouse12

I am very intrigued..I love pumpkin teas, and ginger is my favorite ingredient in tea usually…does this local store have a website from which you can order online? For next year haha :D

Sil

i don’t think so…but i fully plan on making terri buy me like 8oz next week

Terri HarpLady

Sil, you mean next year, right? LOL

Sil

yes… sigh that’s how much i want it…next year UGH

mrs.stenhouse12

Haha 8 oz?! Must be excellent tea! Lol I will have to wait before I even contemplate buying more tea..my friend has about 10 of my teas I got sent to her place and I should be receiving them this weekend, so I will have lots of tasting to do! And teas to sip down haha

mrs.stenhouse12

Oooh thank you so much!! And a new tea company to check out now too! (must not order anything lol)

Mallory Louise

I work for Traveling Tea and WE HAVE SOME IN STOCK! We only make it once a year with pumpkins from one local farm, so if you want some, put in an order now. We just bought the last pumpkin of the season! Thanks for everything Terri!

Terri HarpLady

Thank you! Is my 2nd 8oz package ready for pickup?

Mallory Louise

It will be this week!

A perfect end to this day: a mug of this tea & a bubble bath :)
Yeah baby!

…Sigh…. Sil, I need to send the BBBB on to you soon, or I will run out of the last of this & start drinking yours!

I wanted more Chai, but not more caffeine, so I simmered this, just like I did the Laoshan Village Chai, & it was delicious. I go through phases with chai. Year’s ago I used to mix up my own, now I’m thinking I want to do that again. This cool weather has me in a mood for it. I was also thinking…I wonder how chai would be using a smokey tea?

Sil

oh god…this is so good…

Terri HarpLady

Especially with maple added!

Yup, I love this one.
I think it’s my fav rooibos tea ever.

Sil sigh* I crave this all the time now lol
Terri HarpLady

Next time the box comes around, sister… :)
