It’s weird to drink a tea that tastes like coffee. It’s confusing, and not entirely comfortable.

That being said…once you get used to the coffee/tea hybrid (coffea?) it’s not too bad. The second steep was better than the first, but I find that is the case with most chocolate teas I try. I didn’t have it in me to try a third.

I went and got a proper cup of coffee instead.

I love Stash; definitely my favourite bagged tea brand. Have you tried the Red Velvet Cake herbal yet?

I loved all of the other Stash teas, but not this poor little guy…

I haven’t tried the red velvet, but I love red velvet as a flavor…do you recommend?

Roswell Strange

I definitely recommend it! It’s the chocolate aspect of Red Velvet and the cream cheese icing; many Red Velvet flavoured things neglect the icing and that’s such an important flavour aspect of Red Velvet to me. I also really like the Decaf Vanilla Chai; it has an insanely good and comforting aroma.

I’ll have to check it out. I agree, the icing is very important! I am still filling up my cupboard, I only have about 20% entered because I am trying to review as I go, but if you would like to swap let me know :)

Bio

I just started drinking loose tea this year…and by “drinking” I mean, “completely obsessed” with no hope or want of redemption.

One experience with some rooibos and an infuser to show me just how easy it was, and that was all she wrote.

The only tea I ever had before this year was bagged Earl Grey, that one bad experience was enough to put me off tea for life. Turns out, after some trial and error, I discovered I just don’t like bergamot.

All other tea is fair game. I am enjoying expanding my horizons, and I would love to do a swap if anyone is willing to give a newbie a shot! Check out my cupboard and let me know if you are interested in anything!

Tea Ratings:
100-90 – DRINK ALL THE TEA!!! Always in my cupboard. I would cry if discontinued.
80-89 – Very good tea. I probably stock this year round in small quantities.
70-79 – Good tea, but not a “WOW” tea
60-69 – I can appreciate that this is good tea…just not a tea I enjoy
59 or below – No thank you.

As far as life outside of tea goes…I am a fangirl at heart.

I love BBC Sherlock and all things Johnlock.

I also love Doctor Who. 3, 9 & 10 are my favorites…I have high hopes for 12. My favorite companions are River Song, Donna Noble and Mickey the Idiot.

I am an adult fan of Lego, as is my husband bgrinham. We collect Classic Space, Classic Star Wars, Harry Potter, Trains, and the Modular Buildings.

Feel free to say hello! I look forward to meeting people who share in my obsessions! Tea or otherwise!
