My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!
For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu’erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, toffee, cookie, cream, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well.
I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won’t drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can’t stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.
Tea Ratings Guide (as of December 10, 2017)
90-100 Teas I NEED on hand at all times
80-89 Teas I want to keep around for a cup every now and then
70-79 Teas I am glad I have around and can experiment with but probably don’t need more than what’s in my cupboard
60-69 Teas I would not turn down a cup of from a friend but that would probably be enough
50-59 Teas I can see why someone would enjoy but are not for me
Under 50 Teas I really did not like and most likely got dumped

I wondered if this one would be good. I might just have to place an order!
I have 3 more to try and then I will be placing an order for more SBTs and perhaps some other teas. I want to know which ones I need to buy multiples of and which ones I don’t really like before I order again.
I keep seeing great review for 52teas. I will probably have to put an order in for some of them this spring for iced tea as many sound like they would be great for that during the warmer months.
I’ve been dying to try this! I’ve always loved rainbow sherbet as a kid!
It was quite good. I was actually impressed because I tried the Neapolitan SBT last weekend and that had a creamy ice cream quality to it. This, on the other hand, was far more reminiscent of the smooth but icy texture of sherbet
Mmmmmm so delicious! I still have a Neapolitan I have yet to try! I must see what this creaminess is about
