Mercuryhime drank Caramel & Rum by Lupicia

Excitement! My gaiwan from Teavivre has arrived! I want to use it right now but several things are stopping me. It’s too late for caffeine, and my right wrist has been injured for the past month and is still healing. Sad.

This tea I’m drinking now arrived in my order from Lupicia. I felt like an easy tea this evening because my muscles are sore from exercising and the less I move the better. Haha. Yay tea bags!

I’m really enjoying this a lot more than expected. The smell of the dry tea made me nervous. It seemed so rummy! But after brewing all I can taste is caramel it actually reminds me of caramel Baileys Irish cream. Tasty! I wouldn’t mind keeping a bunch of this around!

Sounds so good! Gosh, you lot are just terrible. (I say this with love.) I don’t want to gulp all my tea down, because the point is to savour it, enjoy it, revel in it. But you all keep adding to my shopping list! I’m never going to get to all the tea I want to taste! Gaaaah! =)

The nice ladies at Lupicia actually made Rayn a special sample pyramid tea bag of this the last time we went there. About a week later I noticed he hadn’t drank it yet, so I made him a cup of tea with it, then got to work cooking dinner. He drank it so quickly that I actually thought I’d forgotten to bring him the tea and he’d left an empty cup on his desk.

Profile

Bio

I came from a tea drinking family, but I never appreciated the different qualities and varieties of tea until older. All that time wasted! But I guess I needed to be mature enough to appreciate the tea experience. :)

My favorite teas are green oolongs and white tea. I also love greens, especially gyokuro. I have a huge appreciation for rooibos and honeybush as they are often that only thing I can drink in the evening. I am a relatively new convert to black teas. This is unfortunate for my wallet but extremely wonderful for my palate. :)

In any case, I have a love for both flavored and unflavored teas. They are different experiences for sure, but both enjoyable. I find that it often depends on my mood.

I am on a quest to find a tea that will win my husband over. I think I’m making some headway…
