Thank you VariaTEA for sending me this! Unfortunately I’m not tasting the key lime pie you described. It is amazingly creamy—maybe even more so than the Lemon Chiffon—but I’m not getting much lime at all. The rooibos is also very noticeable in this blend, and while I usually don’t mind it I did for this cup. Maybe next time I’ll brew it lower in case the lime is hiding because of the high temperature.

Oh no. I am sorry it was a disappointment. I guess it is good you got to sample it before listening to my advice.

Your advice was good! We just have very different tastes, it seems. :)

VariaTEA

That is why swaps work :). Hopefully there are other teas in the package you are enjoying.

bluebelle

So far yes! I’ll try some more out today and we’ll see how those fare.

Bio

Elizabeth, college student, anthropology major, bio and history minor. I love to travel and try new foods (and teas!). I also enjoy music, books, video games as often as I can get my hands on them.

I loved tea as a kid, didn’t drink it for about ten years, and then rediscovered it a couple of years ago. Tea sometimes helps me feel better when chronic illness is making things hard. It’s also fun to experiment with!

I’m still pretty new to the types and brands of tea out there, but I’m interested in trying some of everything. My favorites are earl greys, yunnans, medium-bodied oolongs, Japanese greens, fruit, vanilla, and floral flavors (especially jasmine and rose). My least favorites are teas that are overly smoked, bitter, or contain strong hibiscus or orange peel.
