In an effort to get rid of this tea (I have trouble throwing out teas even if I don’t like them), I put a tablespoon of it in my smoothie this morning. Unfortunately it was a berry smoothie, and the flavours didn’t go well together. If I made just a plain old banana smoothie, it might have tasted better.

I ran out of this tea and went back to Teaopia for more, but this batch doesn’t seem as good. It’s almost like it’s a bit old and has lost flavour, but I know my local Teaopia restocks frequently. It’s better if I use about double the leaf that I normally use, but then it’s too much caffeine for me. (Nothing worse than loving tea and being caffeine sensitive!) I’m rethinking buying it again after it’s gone. It might be time to order from Den’s Tea again instead.

Profile

Bio

I’ve been in love with tea since I discovered the awesomeness of loose-leaf tea about four years ago.

In general, I prefer black, green, oolong, and matcha teas. I’m not a big fan of flavoured teas, but every so often I come across one I like. I also like peppermint, but that’s about it for tisanes.

I recently tried matcha for the first time, and it’s seriously growing on me.

My favourite tea accessory is my chasen holder, hence my profile pic, and my favourite teaware is the shudei kyusu I got from Den’s Tea for 99 cents. I use it both for cooling water and steeping tea. Probably the best 99 cents I’ve spent. :)
