I borrowed this from a friend who has a big Teavana collection (and somehow seeing another’s tea collection in person makes me feel better about my own).

I picked it up because I’m a fan of Teavana’s MateVana. This isn’t bad, but it’s not great. I think they tried to make it taste TOO much like coffee, and at times it tastes artificial. This is discontinued, so I guess I should be glad I don’t like it too much, right? In fact, going through her collection, I realized Teavana has a lot of discontinued teas. That bites if you find something you like…

So the short story is, a few years ago I was VERY MUCH into tea. And then a lot of things happened, and I got out of tea for a while. And now, I’m back.

To me, tea is the missing puzzle piece for my healthy lifestyle. When I drink tea I am encouraged to eat healthy and be active. I drink tea because I simply enjoy the taste, but the health aspects are just an added bonus.

I love all types of teas, although greens and oolongs tend to be my favorite. I also love a good herbal.

Unless otherwise stated, I drink my teas straight. To brew I either use my ingenuiTEA or T-Sac (for teas that don’t expand much). One of these days I might break down and buy a Breville, but I’m trying to resist..

I’m kinda strict when rating my teas. I rarely give a tea above a 95. Teas that I really like I keep in the 95-85 category. I’ve yet to give a tea 100 yet. So, if you see a tea about 95, that means I thought it was an amazing tea!
