This was shared with me by Roswell Strange whose ex-boyfriend customized it with her guidance. Is this the one that sort of took on a diaper-vibe to it? Is that why I forgot about it?All I know is something in the smell of the steeping tea didn’t sit well with me – either the thyme or the nettle.

Ultimately, this one is not for me. I am not a herbs in tea person and this has a lot of herbs. Herbs and hazelnut. Also, not a huge fan of breakfast teas in general. So I am drinking this and it’s fine but just not to my tastes. Still fun to try something made by a friends so thank you for sharing Roswell Strange!

Haha, this isn’t the one that was diaper-y – but I am sorry you didn’t enjoy it. It’s been a while since I last made it, because it’s still a bit weird for me to have a tea from my ex, but I remember still liking it a lot last time I had it. It’s got a TON of thyme though…

Diaper-vibe? What?

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
