232 Tasting Notes

Juicy Blueberry from Zen Tea
84

Not especially blueberry – appleberry, I would say! (Especially after DT’s Blueberry Jam, which is super blueberry-y.) It’s quite good though, one of my free samples from my last order.

Anti V-Day Treat from Della Terra Teas
91

YUMMERS. Sweet overload here with this & cupcakes! \o/

Pom Tango from DAVIDsTEA
68

IT’S NOT YOU, IT’S ME, TEA. :P I dunno, this felt way too much like drinking hot juice.. and I didn’t really like it cooled down, either. I dunno! I dunno! I thought I’d really like it? It was very strongly fruity but too sweet for me.

Pancake Breakfast Black Tea from 52teas
83

Someone make me pancakes. #patheticface

Thé Aromatisé a la Rose (Rose Tea) from Hediard
64

Never had a rose tea before. It’s weeeeird. Interesting. Kinda reminds me of pickle juice. o_O

Kiwi Cherry Bonanza from Tiesta Tea
81

Cold-brewed overnight and super refreshing first thing this morning! It was half a cup of hot tea that I forgot about, filled back up with more water and resteeped in the fridge, so it was a bit light, but nice!

Jessie's Tea from DAVIDsTEA
76

Kelly & I are having our last cups of this tea with our last slices of lemon square! Goodbye you weirdo strange little tea! :D

Kiwi Cherry Bonanza from Tiesta Tea
81

Whoops! Sat down on a break from cooking & totally forgot I put this one on… it’s herbal though, so v forgiving. And sweet and clean! Very nice.

Golden Earl from Verdant Tea
92

Ooooh. This (the smell and the taste) are reminding of something (possibly TWO somethings) and I can’t quite figure out what…! But the tea is really, really good. Not very Earl Grey but man, so interesting! …adding to shopping list…

Breakfast Earl Grey from Whittard of Chelsea
89

This is a great EG! I had all sorts of tea plans for this morning and threw them all out the window because this one said “breakfast” – it’s breakfast OBVS. ;)

Phoenix Pearl from Zen Tea
93

Niiiice tea to have on this afternoon where all I plan to do is sit on my ass and eat lemon squares. XD! I had a busy morning, alright?! Just gonna keep resteeping this baby so I don’t even have to rinse out the infuser. On my 2nd now, om nom. (And my …fourth?… lemon square.)

Lemon Lime Cream Tart from Della Terra Teas
91

I really wanted to try lemon chiffon and then lime chiffon (which cavocorax sent me some of and is AMAZING) so I thought – best of both worlds and bought this! But lime chiffon is better, jsyk. I have regrets. Not a LOT of regrets because this is super good and so creamy yum, but still. Regrets. Last night’s bedtime tea. Sipped this morning and pretty good cold, too!

Butterbeer from 52teas
83

I just made up the last of my Butterbeer and then sent K off to get me coffee… /o\ I can’t help it, I am a coffee ADDICT. Still drinking this tea, though.

Raspberry Splash from Market Spice

SO rasberry-y! I want more of this and then to live off of it iced all summer long.

Summer Meadow from Tea Desire
77
Weeping Angel Tea from 52teas
78

Nice n mellow tea, similar to Butterbeer, without the fizzy? Am not seeing the Angels connection tbh :P but it’s very good!

Earl Grey Cream from Murchie's Tea & Coffee
86

Last bit of my “curry” earl grey ;) idek, guys. Oversteeped this while listening to SYSK podcast on allergies (nothing I didn’t know e_e but they’re always super enjoyable to listen to, anyway)… podcasts and cbc radio are the best things for clean kitchens, ever.

Goodbye curry tea! <3

Butterbeer from 52teas
83

Starting the morning off well with this. I was cranky and just wanted coffee and didn’t feel like aaanything e_e but made this up and remembered it just before it went cold and… it’s so good. :)

Swiss Mountain from Della Terra Teas
91

SOOOO LOVELY. Super minty and super chocolatey AND the black tea keeps it from being too sweet.

..I baked chocolate cupcakes today >__> PERF.

Anti V-Day Treat from Della Terra Teas
91

I had a few Della Terra teas the other day with company – but this was the stand-out, oh man. Tasty and sweet but not OVERLY sweet.

Phoenix Pearl from Zen Tea
93

I just finished steeping this when K showed up with a coffee for me. :-O Gotta wean off the large ones I was having while the FIL was here! Probably doesn’t work when I’m having all the tea alongside, oh well. :P

Raspberry Truffle from Butiki Teas
80

Last bit of this. Thanks cavocorax <3!

Pom Power from DAVIDsTEA
88

Had this one the other day – a sample that came with my last order, I guess? Truest pomegranate flavour in a tea, nom nom… though the seeds look nasty after you pull them out :P I put the whole sample in my mug and was glad I rounded up.

Earl Grey Cream from Murchie's Tea & Coffee
86

YAY! I’m such a dumbass. It wasn’t Zen Tea’s EG Cream that tasted like curry, it’s THIS ONE! I wasn’t just sick and tasting things!

(Or maybe cavocorax just stored this one by the curry powder? Didja, huh huh? It’s so good! I found this on the buffet while cleaning for my FIL’s arrival tomorrow! AWESOME SCORE, I knew as soon as I picked it up and caught a whiff of that spicy scent…yesssss! I don’t care it’s after 8pm, I’m having it!)

>:D

Profile

Bio

I drink a lot of tea (and coffee!) and do other things sometimes, like hug cats (3 black cats!) and homeschool a child (the Snick, Snickety Snickface the Sharkboy) and make art and draw things and watch too much television and pretend I’m not home when people knock on the door!

I love art (comics, illustration, storytelling, handcrafts, papercrafts, making things, sharing things, INK, COLOUR, puppetry, painting, photography and obsessively recording things, making up songs and making up words and singing to my cats, plotting melodramatic horrible fanfic with K (the partner in crime), poetry that punches you in the face, having ideas and seeing them turn into THINGS and STUFF, scissors and glue and glitter and making a big mess on the floor)

..and FOOD (yummy things, fall harvests, special treats, preservation and crock pots and canning and growing green things, bright colours and spicy things and new to me foods and fresh fruit and veggies from the garden and living gluten free with no regrets, baking omg baking everything, and into health and how food affects bodies and brains and emotions and how a cup of black tea can be comforting with milk and sugar)

…and most houseology pursuits (well, the fun ones like alternative housing, diy, renovations and building creatively, creative spaces, decluttering and organization and half-assed feng shui, design, eco-housing, cob, small houses, voluntary simplicity, having a good place for a good family and filling it with cats even if you have to pull cat hair out of everything you eat, engineering a less stressful life through environment and care of that environment and light and fresh air)

…and the outdoors (it’s scarf and hat times and fingerless mittens, rocky beaches and bird-watching, racoons and otters, orcas and squirrels, thunder and lighting, windstorms, boats and the ocean and seagulls shrieking, environmental concerns, water, sunshine, bike rides, short cuts through the bush, tree climbing and fire pits)

…and humans (even though I’m a hermit and an introvert, humans are so cool – alphabets and language and dictionaries and body language and mirroring and the way humans talk to one another and make themselves understood, mental health and brains in general, therapy and brain-detangling, daily rhythms, laughing, children, babies, autism and ADD, different ways of learning, homeschooling and reading and listening to radio shows and podcasts, transformative works in all their brilliant varieties, lists and ambitious projects even if they’re never completed, architecture and science, habit and routine, jokes and songs and rhymes and memory work and family stories passed down)…

I LOVE A LOT OF THINGS.

My ratings probably skew high because of this, but I can’t help being optimistic, it is the natural way of things.
