September 2022 Blend

Here’s another amazing tea I finished off mid-October that I didn’t want to let go quietly into the good night (the empty packet still smells amazing and fills me with tea-envy). Probably shouldn’t have waited until “Adventaggedon” season to catch up with my sipdowns and 52teas’ subs, but here we are!

I enjoy Anne’s Pancake Breakfast Tea and Vanilla Black tea blend staples but, for me, this slightly tops them because it’s two in one! All that creamy vanilla, syrupy maple, and gooey caramel goodness in one cup – resonating perfectly with all the fall vibes (and it was still 100% fall when I annihilated my sample pouch; I hate how tiny samples are sometimes).

Flavors: Caramel, Caramelized Sugar, Creamy, Malt, Maple Syrup, Smooth, Vanilla

Bio

I started my Steepster loose leaf adventure back in 2012. I can’t say I’m completely new anymore, but I still view oolong as a magical, extraterrestrial creature that unfurls in water.

My favourites are teas like Milk Oolong, Silver Needle,and Japanese Sencha/Gyokuro, or fruity and floral flavoured ones. However, I generally enjoy ALL the teas, including a good old cup of Earl Grey or Breakfast blend.

Subjective Rating System:
I don’t give a lot of low ratings out, since a) I tend to grab tea I know will appeal to me, and b) I don’t have a lot of strong dislikes.

90-100: Favourites. The Desert Island Teas.
80-89: Loved teas. Possibly staple-worthy.
70-79: Good teas, but I’m less likely to repurchase. Minor quibbles.
60-69: Ok teas. Likely a few preference and/or quality issues.
50-59: Cup of meh. Will do in a pinch.
11-49: Varying levels of undrinkable tea.
1-10: Nightmare tea from the chaos realms. This tea is the embodiment of the primordial swamp, an unholy abomination. It’s very gross and I’m almost positive it doesn’t exist.
