A wonderfully soothing, comforting blend that is easy on the stomach. I’ve been having stomach problems the last week, and The Skinny has been a staple in my tea rotation because of that. It’s an earthy, citrusy, rich blend with a lovely smoothness. There’s a lot of complexity to this blend – a lot of layers to the flavour that all complement each other perfectly. I can barely taste the ginger (a very good thing) and the citrus isn’t too strong either. There is a flavour that I can’t really place that is likely the eleuthero root (a type of ginseng), but it isn’t unpleasant. This is a beautiful morning cup for those with sensitive stomachs and something I will continue to keep a healthy stash of at home.

Flavors: Citrus, Wet Earth, Wood

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 4 min, 45 sec

Bio

I’ve been drinking tea for as long as I can remember — my mom used to have “tea time” with me every afternoon, drinking some Twinings Earl Grey with milk and sugar in my grandmother’s antique tea cups. Before I went to university, I worked at a DAVIDsTEA in my hometown, which solidified the obsession.

I’m in my first year of law school, after completing an undergraduate degree in political science and anthropology. I use she/her pronouns, and I’m vegetarian (not quite vegan — I still drink blends that contain milk-based ingredients). My other hobbies include fragrance, crocheting, journalling, skiing, hiking, and reading sci-fi and fantasy novels.

LIKES
Apple, peppermint, caramel, vanilla, coconut, jasmine tea, malty black teas, sweet blackberry leaves, guayusa, white tea, peach, strawberry, raspberry leaves, Chinese teas, anything smooth and creamy!!! Highly caffeinated blends have my heart.

DISLIKES
Ginger, cinnamon, peppercorns, hibiscus, alcoholic notes, stevia. I prefer teas that don’t contain dairy or artificial flavouring.
