Calochortus

Calochortus drank Orange and Spice Herb Tea by Bigelow

Providence Alaska Medical Center serves this tea in their cafeteria. I usually don’t like herb tea, since I like my black tea base (and adding milk to tea, which is difficult with some herbals). This really could have done with some black tea, in my opinion. It smells lovely, but the taste is a bit dull and bitter. I could drink this again, but it wouldn’t be my first choice.

I have Constant Comment at home! I like CC with milk and a bit of sugar. I may have to try this tea again, though since I had it in a Styrofoam cup with a hot tap, not boiled water. And it was in a hospital (with Virex smell).

Profile

Bio

Calochortus likes plants and knitting and bacteria. She doesn’t have a very large tea allowance, so expect a lot of grocery store/local/home-grown teas. Or teas from Etsy. She’s grown up with tea, as it is part of (half of) her culture.

Her favorite teas are black and usually fruity or vanilla-y. She likes to put milk in her tea, too, but she’s trying to widen her palette with green teas. She finds that tea leaves are great for composting, too.
