Spiked Ginger Peach from Steam Tea House

OMGsrsly drank Spiked Ginger Peach by Steam Tea House

I love this tea. So much so, that when my honey fell out of my cupboard and knocked my mug to the floor (breaking it and spilling tea everywhere) I wasn’t really upset as now my apartment smells delicious. Also, the falling was probably my fault as I can be a tremendous klutz in the mornings.

This is what I need from a strawberry tea. It tastes lovely up to 5 minutes of steeping (my max, really), is good with and without milky stuff and honey, and reminds me of summer. Just perfect.

I made myself a fresh cup after wiping up the floor, and noticed that I’m already starting to run low. Maybe I should get 100g this time!

Black teas are my favourite, although I do drink the occasional green tea. I am exploring herbal and fruity teas for summer icing and winter evenings, and oolong and pu erh are new and exciting… although I do not like an oolong that tastes mostly of seaweed. I avoid mint, and my BFF is allergic to raspberries, so I read a lot of ingredient listings.

I have discovered that I do not like teas that are too roasty and toasty. Some Rig Red Robe teas are ok, some Yunnan Blacks are ok, some hojichas are ok. Just some. I seem to prefer traditional blends (oh Irish breakfast), Assam, Ceylon and Nilgiri types as unflavored morning caffeine boosts. Flavoured black teas are closest to my heart, and therefore take up the most room in my stomach.

My ratings are based on the little faces, and depend on what face I make when I sip the tea! :)

(Isn’t that a bling-tastic tea cup?)

Also: A map of tea places in Vancouver. I’ve been to some of them, but not a lot. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!
