Tonight I tried this steeped with half boiling water and half very hot apple cider, a la Bonnie’s method. I like this better than just this blend straight, although I still think there is too much fennel in it for me. Actually now that I think about it most of what I taste when made with the cider is the fennel. Hmmm, maybe I did like it better without the cider. Maybe it needs a longer steep time when using the cider. Definitely still not sure about this blend.

I do make it strong! Even my guy tea buddy’s like it strong too. Same with the Chai. Not saying you’re going to change your mind about it with the fennel though unless you pick it out. You are a trooper, trying it again with Apple juice!

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.

In my free time I am a birder, baker, and music/movie/tv addict.

Here are my rating categories, FYI:
100-90: Mind-blowingly good, just right for my palate, and teas that just take me to a happy place.
89-86: 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
85-80: Pretty tasty teas that I enjoy well enough, but definitely won’t rebuy when I run out.
79-70: Teas that I would probably drink again, but only if there were no preferrable options.
69-50: Teas that I don’t really enjoy all that much and wouldn’t drink another cup of.
49 and below: Mega yuck. This tea is just disgusting to me.
Unrated: Usually I feel unqualified to rate these teas because they are types of teas that I tend to not like in general. Sometimes user error or tea brewed under poor conditions.
