FINALLY a sipdown. It is so flavourful that I only use 1/2 tsp or 1 tsp for several brews, and it feels like a waste not to resteep it. Anyway, this made a nice honeybush and creamy coconut coldbrew. Thick, sweet (but natural honeybush/rooibos sweetness, not artificial added sweetness), a tiny bit of maple (from the honeybush) and honey (from the rooibos). The coconut is creamy, but also smooth and tropical. The strawberry isn’t very discernible (probably because the bottom of the bag has fewer large freeze-dried strawberries), but I wouldn’t have been opposed to more strawberry in this blend. Regardless, a pleasant cup and a feeling of accomplishment from thinning my tea cupboard a bit (I’m over 280 teas! Yikes, I need to cut down).

Flavors: Coconut, Creamy, Fruity, Honey, Maple Syrup, Rooibos, Smooth, Sweet

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
