Dinosara drank Amandine Rose by Teavana

I am on such a rose kick lately, I don’t even know. I crave rose tea pretty much nonstop.

I think the water out of the faucet at work is tasting odd this afternoon. I mean, it seemed fine this morning, but after the jasmine tea earlier and now this one, it seems off. This tea seems flat, and not as flavorful as usual, although I’m pretty sure I just had some not long ago and it was fine. Most disappointingly, the rose seems to be what has lost out here. Now I will continue to crave rose, argh!

You actually sent me a sample of that one in our last swap! I am definitely excited to try it.

This is one of a handful of Teavana teas that I like quite a bit.

Profile

Bio

I am tea obsessed, with the stash to match. I tend to really enjoy green oolongs, Chinese blacks, and flavored teas with high quality bases, especially florals, bergamot-based teas, and chocolate teas.

I’m a grad student and in my free time I am a birder, baker, and music/movie/tv addict.

I have an Adagio Teas UtiliTEA kettle and a Tea Forté Kati cup for brewing. I also have a Chinese Ru Kiln tea set for gongfu brewing.

Here are my rating categories, FYI:
100-90: These teas are mind-blowingly good to me.
89-80: I really really like these teas and will keep most of them in the permanent collection, but they’re not quite as spectacular as the top category
79-70: Tasty teas that I enjoy, but definitely won’t rebuy when I run out.
69-65: Teas that I would probably drink again, but wouldn’t seek out. They don’t quite do it for me in one aspect or another; often just not quite my style
64-60: Teas that I don’t really enjoy all that much and wouldn’t drink another cup of.
59-50: Bleh. I usually choose not to finish the cup because life’s too short to drink tea I dislike.
49 and below: Mega yuck. This tea is just disgusting to me.
