This tea is so damn old right now, but it’s still really great. Had some Thai red curry and a pot of this for breakfast. What a good start to my day.

One of my favorites. Enjoying this with a warm slice of chocolate mousse cake topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce…Best dessert ever.

I miss Steepster. I’ve been trying to drink up old teas (such as this one) and let go of others before purchasing more. This one was great, though, last night with some Spekulatius cookies.

Still loving this tea. <3

I love this tea so, so much. Nice honey aroma, and the texture is like whipped cream or something, just so, so soft and creamy. I wish I had more of this.

Darn. No one had added this tea to Steepster and the this tea is no longer available on the TTC site. Oh well, I added instead a picture of a cute teapot and boat set that TTC has on sale. :-P

I wasn’t over-impressed with this tea. I expected a much sweeter and more fragrant tea. This tea was more on the savory side. It’s a nice enough tea, but it’s not what I usually expect from an OB.

Having a cup of tea before bed. Smells just like a mocha latte. Perfect!

So, I chose this for my dinner tonight (a peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwich). The package says “zesty cucumber” on it. I couldn’t have imagined what a “strong” cucumber smell was like before, but the wet leaves had this smell – very earthy and green. It was a little bit off-putting, to be honest. But the brewed tea was fabulous. It’s super-light and subtle and smooth. You do get a little bit of zest in the aroma, but there is no bitterness from tannins. (Somehow I expect zesty nose in the tea to correspond with the bitter flavor of actual citrus zest.) What a nice comforting tea for a chilly evening at home!

ETA: I almost didn’t receive this tea, because someone is stealing mail out of the mailboxes on my street again. Charming. (I would have thought this was so punk back in the day – think Dead Kennedys song.) Anyhow, apparently the thieves weren’t interested in tea and dumped this package on the side of the road somewhere. Thanks, USPS, for finding it and getting it to me!
