Jillian drank No. 10 by Murchie's Tea & Coffee

Go Canucks! Kick Buffalo’s ass! :P

I’m afraid I’m not having a very ‘hockey-suitable’ tea, though. The smell of this tea is an odd mix between the typical ‘tea’ smell and a soft jasmine fragrance. Interestingly the smell while steeping is pretty reminiscent of my H&S Dragon Pearl Jasmine.

The flavour however isn’t nearly as flowery. It’s light but it has a clean taste with some sweet, vegetale notes hovering in the background.

I find teas w/ numbers as names weird… But that’s just me:)

It does make them slightly nondescript…

This one is named after No. 10 Downing Street in London and I LOVE when teas are named after things, but unfortunately you wouldn’t know that w/o reading the discription… It’s gotta be evident for me.

Yay hockey! I’m not sure what I’d count as a hockey suitable tea but yeah, I’m pretty sure a jasmine-y one probably wouldn’t be it!

Have a look at my discussion I put up, I’d love to hear what you guys think!

Yeah, this would be a good time for one of 52Teas’ ‘Man Teas’. ;)

Bio

I’m a university student in her mid-twenties who’s currently working her way toward a Bachelor of Natural Resource Science degree. I love both science and science-fiction and I’m a history nut on top of that. Maybe I should just call myself a nerd and leave it there. ;)

I’ve been drinking tea since I was young but it’s only in the past couple years that I’ve become interested in the good-quality stuff.

I’m also a self-proclaimed Grammar-Nazi, and improper capitalization and spelling invariably makes me twitch (yes, I mean you!)
