SQUEEEEEE FLAIL!!!!

QuiltGuppy is a right little treasure and I hearts her dearly. Look what she sent me! Look what she went out of her way to get for me!!! Just… just LOOK!!

I’ve been out of this for so long, but having to economise a bit with how many orders I put out in one go and all that rot, so the TeaSpring order had been temporarily postponed. And here it is again!

Oh joy, oh rapture!

I can’t wait to actually make me a cup of this, but I’m afraid it’ll have to wait just a little while longer. I’m not finished cuddling the pouch yet.

On a scale from one to ten, QG is awesome twelve and a half, and if you were here right now I would treat you to a cup.

This is on my list for when I get around to trying out Teaspring! And yes, QG is beyond generous in spreading the love of the leaf!

QG is a treasure for sure. THE Queen and First Ambassador of Tea.

What Angrboda isn’t telling you is that it’s a thank you gift for negotiating my Danish yarn and knitting pattern order that couldn’t be shipped directly to me. :) Thank you, Ang, I was hoping it would reach you quickly!

I thought about including that, but eventually decided that information wasn’t relevant since it was very little actual bother for me to do that.

No fooling me QG, I know you have sent plenty of teas to plenty of people without any hope or expectation of return…
That said, international trade is a wonderful thing! :)

Also, I am intrigued by “SQUEEEEEE FLAIL!!!!” like “meh” I am not familiar with this phrase. :)

QuiltGuppy is one of the finest individuals I have ever met! Don’t listen to her feeble attempts to convince you that her generosity would EVER come from a place of quid pro quo. Silly Quilt Guppy…

Profile

Bio

Angrboda felt her bio needed to be re-written, but she failed to consider what she wanted it to say instead.

Um…

Okay. Ang prefers black teas and the darker sorts of oolongs. She has to be in the mood for green and white and she enjoys, but knows little to nothing about, pu-erh.

Her preferences with black teas are the Chinese ones, particularly from Fujian, but also Keemun and just about anything smoky. She occasionally enjoys Yunnans but they’re not favourites.

She is sceptical about Indian blacks as she generally finds them too astringent and too easy to get wrong. She doesn’t really care for Darjeelings at all.

She likes flavoured teas as well, particularly fruit flavoured ones, but also has an obsession with finding the Perfect Vanilla Flavoured Black.

However, she thinks Earl Grey is generally kind of boring. Cinnamon and ginger are also not really a hit, and she’s not very fond of chais. Evil hibiscus is evil. Even in small amounts, and yes, Ang can usually detect hibiscus, mostly by way of the metallic flavour of blood it has.

Ang is not super impressed with rooibos or honeybush. She doesn’t care for either, really, but when they are flavoured, there have been known to be surprising exceptions to this rule.

Ang has a number of teas that she regards her Standard Panel and will always try to have on hand.
-Lapsang Souchong, any brand really, but preferably AC Perchs.
-Blackberry flavoured black or similar, any brand.
-Late Summer Blend, AC Perchs
-Raspberry Oolong, AC Perchs OR Red Fruits Oolong, Le Palais des Thes
-Caramel, Kusmi OR Toffee, Le Palais des Thes
-Something orange flavoured, black or pu-erh, any brand.
-Tan Yang Te Ji, Teaspring OR Bai Lin Gongfu, Teavivre
-A good Keemun, any brand.
-The Perfect Vanilla Black if and when she ever finds it…

Angrboda is almost always open to swapping. Just ask her.
