Babble drank Pina Colada Honeybush by 52teas

I changed my picture (no one really uses pictures of themselves on Steepster, so I decided to do the same). However on one browser it shows up as the photo of me and on the other it’s the hamster in a teacup. What is it showing up for everyone else?

Okay, now onto the tea..
This was a sample from momo way back when that I decided to cook up tonight.

When I first brewed this hot I barely tasted anything. I wasn’t sure if this was a bad batch or the tea was just too cold. But now, as it cools, I definitely taste more of the flavor with the pineapple and coconut.. This is definitely a tea to drink cold or cold brew.

This tea isn’t wow-ing me, it’s just okay. I’m leaving off a rating, though, since it might be an older tea and the flavors might not be as spot on as they were when this tea was first released.

I use google Chrome. On the feed it is the photo, but when I go to your page it is the hamster…… oh technology.

I’m using firefox, and it’s the same (old picture) on both the feed and your profile.

I’m loving this consistency. LOL.

Ok. Now the photo on the feed is the Hamster.

I’m seeing your old one.

Checked back because I wanted to see this hamster… Yay! Hamster is now present on both.

I use a picture of myself! Its a photo I took before seeing Emilie Autumn and it seemed totally appropriate.

I know. You are one of the few. I guess Steepsters don’t like putting pictures of themselves.

Well I am admittedly pretty vain, I don’t think most people are. :P

Bio

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!
