1024 Tasting Notes

Took this to rehearsal instead of a coffee this morning. I’ve got more cider guayusa than killer’s vanilla so I was going to sip this down first, but considering they’re both Butiki maybe I should go one for one until they’re both gone? And then openly weep?

drank Riotous Rose by T2

I drank the last of my Gone Surfing blend last night so we’re really getting into the cupboard dregs with this one! (Having said that, I did just pick up three new blend boxes at T2’s sale last week, oops. Hey, I couldn’t resist 3 boxes for $20 and I’m paranoid now that they’re all in the discontinued list…)

drank Christmas Tea by Twinings

It’s taken me a long time to get around to this but perhaps in that time I’ve gotten more ruthless, because… the rest of this tin is going in the bin.

drank Fruitalicious by T2

I used up my whole bag of this blend on a strong iced tea (with some Turkish cherry sweetener) and now that I’m drinking that tea, I’m kind of annoyed I used it all because it’s really delicious.

MY TEASTORY:

Grandad got me started young, white (a LOT of white) Irish breakfast with two.

I never strayed far from that until the world of T2 Tea came to Brisbane some years ago, and now I don’t know what I’d do without a pantry full of tea options.

These days I prefer to drink my teas straight without sweetener (though I appreciate some black variations shine better with milk and/or a dash of honey/sugar). I also love a speedy iced tea (hot brewed then poured over ice), and my latest obsession is cold brewing (which doesn’t make a lot of sense, as Australia is headed into winter and I live in the coldest corner of the country, but oh well).

I’d love to make a bunch of tea friends on here, especially those who can talk Aussie teas with me. I’ve recently come back from a jaunt to North America and it was a real hoot to hit up DAVIDsTEA after reading so many reviews! I wish I’d had the chance to get to more stores… but I’m happy with what I got back past customs. See those teas and my local jams in my reviews.

I LOVE:
+ black teas
+ white teas
+ oolongs
+ flavoured versions of all three of the above
+ herbal infusions and fruit tisanes

NOT A FAN:
+ most green teas
+ LICORICE ROOT (my sworn enemy) and aniseed flavours
