drank Sil' Fine by Terre d'Arome
1500 tasting notes

How could I not grab a tea in Belgium, where the name is actually Sil? Sure, the tea is meant as a herbal remedy (edema and weight loss), but what the hell, I love my herbals. Plus, the ingredient list reminded me of the best chai I’ve ever had (but can’t buy other than in-store) at a cafe in Edmonton, so I thought… if this will give me an approximation? I’m happy.

I think I let it steep too long, because I’m getting weird hay notes and a drying feeling to it. Sigh. Bad MissB. It’s still okay, smooth I guess, but the hay stuffola overbears everything else right now.

Is the chai in Edmonton that you had one of the ones at Remedy Cafe? :D

MissB

Yep, their only Chai (that I know of?) it’s like liquid magic, that stuff.

Bio

A few years ago, the obsession with tea started. The cupboard got bigger and bigger, more swaps occurred, group buys, secret rendezvous with local teapassionistas… and that’s how you end up with 500+ different kinds of tea in your home. At one time.

Almost all of the tea was given away, sold, or otherwise shared. A few relics still remain. I now travel full time with only two carryon bags to my name. One quarter of those bags are tea.

It’s still a challenge to avoid the chipmunk-like hoarding of The Teas, yet, the lightness of being from having so little compels me more.

If I have enough, I’m happy to share. If I’m in your area, I’d love to swap, meet for tea, and explore together.

As for the day-to-day stuff, I’m focused almost entirely on Love, (yes, with a capital L), Spirit/Self, transformation, travel and my writing and speaking work.

What kinds of teas do I normally like?

YES: flavored teas, fruity, dessert, chai, and spicy (REALLY spicy).

A FONDNESS FOR: all white teas, malty black teas, any herbal or medicinal teas, strange/weird teas you can only get in one place.

ALLERGIC TO: strawberries, lavender

DISLIKES: any added sugars, grains, lapsang souchong, and overly floral teas – I might enjoy a Jasmine Green every once in a while, but unless it’s a creamy floral tea (think roses in a chai, or the smoothness of a floral note in a French tea), I’ll likely pass. Earl Greys are a hit or miss with me; heavy on the cream or fruit notes and I might like it, heavy on the blergamot and I definitely won’t.
