Yummy!!!

Now that some magician has handed me some dried elderberries, I was able to make the real version of this Northern Sweet Tea. Though my own temporary blueberry version was pretty darn delicious, I admit that it’s fun to have it the way it was meant to be.

It was hot today. This was the perfect iced tea.

Really, A little maple syrup added to Golden Orchid and some cute rustic tiny little berries….how could you not like this?

I drank two big mason jars today, and wanted more!! And the good thing is, I can make more, which makes me a very happy fairy :-)

I do need to try this!

TheTeaFairy

It’s fab.

MzPriss

I have some in the fridge!

TheTeaFairy

Lol, I’m having GO right now AND I’m having some NST. A sip of hot, a sip of cold!

MzPriss

I’m having some GO after I finish this delicious cup of Yi Fu Chun. I’m saving my NST for later in the day out on the porch. I LOVE the combo though. May have to try that.

SarsyPie

I am making this today. I know I said that a few days ago, but this week was nuts. After my hike, I am coming home, and I am making this. Since HoneyBelle sent me elderberries, I am ready to rumble!

MzPriss

Make it before you go on your hike and put it in the fridge so it’s cold when you get back – it will be PERFECT after your hike!

SarsyPie

Yes, ma’am! Making tea NOW! :p

TheTeaFairy

Oh! Hike and NST = Perfect Sunday

MzPriss

I can’t wait to hear what you think of it

SarsyPie

Indeed, TTF! I am looking forward to both. I’m making a double-batch of the NST. I’ll maybe share some with the boyfriend. :p

MzPriss

Double batch is a good idea with this. I make it a quart at a time. I may go sneak a little drink of it now

Whispering Pines Tea Company

I made a quart this morning :) Mmmmhm! :D

SarsyPie

I tripled the batch. What the heck! You guys haven’t led me astray yet. I know I’ll love this!

TheTeaFairy

Oh yes you will. And so will the boyf.

SarsyPie

IF I share. :p

He didn’t appreciate the pu’erh I am drinking, but I’m certain he will like the NST.

TheTeaFairy

Which one are you having?

SarsyPie

Mandala’s Heart of the Old Tree Sheng Pu’er 2012. Please check out my note if you get a chance. I actually read your note before I made it, since I was looking for brewing times. I thought it was interesting that you found peach, because to me, it smelled exactly like dried apricot!!!

MzPriss

That settles it – I’m ordering that now.

TheTeaFairy

MzPriss, I was just gonna offer you to send you some, but I don’t think a sample would be enough :-)

I did check your review Sarsonator, awesome!

MzPriss

I’m just gonna order it.

MzPriss

It sounds sooooooo good!

SarsyPie

I hope I someday end up in the tea retirement home with you two. Remember it from this thread? http://steepster.com/discuss/2404-stash-slash-cupboard-pictures?page=10&post_id=135229

Also, does this mean that I am now a tea enabler, MzPriss?? :p

MzPriss

Yes, you have totally earned enabler status. We will have to all be there together and all chip to pay a Tea Dobby to make us amazing, perfectly-prepared tea all day long.

TheTeaFairy

Haha! Yes, I remember it!! And you have now officially entered the TTEG. (The tea enablers guild)

SarsyPie

Awesome!!!! I will wear my TTEG badge proudly, and look forward to the day that we sit around all day, chatting and drinking perfectly-prepared tea! :)

TheTeaFairy

And I so want a tea-dobby…

MzPriss

NEED a TeaDobby. It’s a NEED.

TheTeaFairy

Haha! Definitely a NEED.

Profile

Bio

I am French Canadian, so please forgive me if my English is not always perfect :-/

My relationship with tea in a nutshell:

I’m married to straight Black. I have torrid love affairs with Oolong and Puerh. I party with Green and White occasionally. Flavored are not my BFF, I usually stay away from them.

Love Steepster, a place for tea lovers, where you learn and share with others.

About me:

I am a free spirit, I let people be who they are and expect the same in return.

Books! I love classic literature, but also modern and pretty much anything that captures my attention.

Music is also something I can’t live without… From Bach to Nirvana, my ears know no boundaries…

Animal and nature lover, amateur photographer.

I’ve been drinking tea for as long as I can remember.

Drinking tea is a sensorial experience. The name in itself “Camellia Sinensis” lingers the promess of an adventure for the senses…

Not a big «swapper», but will occasionally. Not because I don’t want to share but because I’m trying not to hoard so much.

Also, I have narrowed down the teas I really like over the years, and I don’t feel the need to try and buy everything the way I used to. (Maybe I have become a tea snob? Sigh…)

My ratings: because I pretty much drink only teas that I judge exceptional, my ratings are usually high. Don’t be shocked to see lots of 90’s and a few 100’s. That’s because I’ve had my share of crapy teas and I’m done with that ;-)

You can find me on Instagram here, I post about my tea sessions mostly, but also about the beautiful nature that surrounds me, and my fury companions :-)
