drank Orzo Caramel & Honey by Lupicia
4170 tasting notes

Just a quick note, as I wasn’t really going with parameters. I wanted to try this one and never had orzo before… it is JUST as I imagined it would be… it’s like a dark cup of coffee with none of the negative qualities of coffee. It kind of reminds me of ripe puerh? Also no caffeine. I bought some from Cameron B (thank you!) but I just knew I SHOULD have stocked up on a pouch or two of their orzo blends …. they were calling to me. haha.

Edited to add: I steeped the second steep for quite a while to see what would happen. It’s a bit more brisk than a ripe puerh would be. But in the after taste that lingers, it tastes a bit like the burn on a roasted marshmallow … which I love. (when I was a kid and impatient roasting marshmallows – just shoving the marshmallow in the flame… that kind of burnt) :D

Burnt is the only way to eat a toasted marshmallow. I also liked my hotdogs with a nice crispy black layer, too.

Oh good, I’m not the only one who likes burnt. The only hotdog I ever ate cooked over a fire was when I was a kid… was burnt on the outside and froze in the middle so….. an interesting meal that was never repeated. haha

I like my campfire hotdogs charred, too! :D

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
