What a day, I am pooped!!
Bachelorette party yesterday, bridal shower today. Whew. I need to a nap.
Anyhow, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the theme for the shower was… TEA PARTY!!! woot :)
The selection was pretty good. Three types of black, three greens, and two herbals. Plus red rose OP.
I enjoyed this cuppa. a solid black, with some nice malt and a hint of briskness. I let the sachet sit in the cup because there was no garbage and it did get a little bitter, no surprise there!
Bonus: thunderstorm time. I need a cuppa tea to enjoy this…

i like that someone has edited this tea to say that the company name is “delete”

What? You don’t have the bridal shower the day after the bachelorette party! Everyone is nursing hangovers! LOL

That does sound like the best shower ever though :)

Sil, I noticed that!! I wonder if there was a double entry and they got rid of the wrong one

Stephanie, RIGHT?! I’m not close enough to the girls that I could bring that up, but seriously… I found it a bit odd. That said, that group of friends have never been big drinkers or partiers so I doubt there were a ton of bad hangovers, maybe mild ones

(also the bride has a paper due for her masters program on Monday so she was up early, I doubt she drank much)

Let’s see… I’m a tea and workout fanatic, I work in HR, and most of my friends consider me to be an egg. White on the outside, Asian on the inside :)
-from philosophy to food, I love it all
Otherwise, what you see is what you get! I can be very straightforward and yet shy.

Also, I’ve started taking tea sommelier classes and it is an absolute blast! Well, so far I’ve only finished the first out of eight courses, but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Anyhow, if your curious as to how I rate things, this is how I work…

0-25
Like eating dirt, or some other unsanitary indelicacy that mentioning in my profile here would likely get me banned.
I don’t think I’ve found cause to banish a tea to the wasteland yet though so who knows what it’d inspire ;P

25-50
You know that expression “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”? I imagine drinking that water would be terrible enough to warrant this rating!
I’d never make my enemy drink this, but perhaps I’d throw it at them. Good thing I don’t have any enemies!

50-70
This is “tea”?? I tried finishing the cup… but my body rejected it. There may be others who enjoy this tea, but it’s beyond me!

70-80
I tried liking it, and I can almost get there! I certainly don’t hate it, but something is holding me back. Allergies? Men in white suits? who knows… certainly not me!

80-90
Lovely tea! Not my all time fave but close. I likely wouldn’t repurchase, but may decide to based on many factors: price, accessibility, whether it fills a “tea gap”, medicinal applications, and how often I crave it.
Every once in awhile I find the sweet spot that bumps these up to 90+. Those are the days I need to buy a lotto ticket!

90-95
Sweet Camellia! this is realllly good tea! Don’t talk to me until I’ve finished my cup…

95-100
Tea of the gods. I would do anything to get my hands on more of this liquid gold!
