I order a whole bunch of the seasonal collection from Della Terra during their last sale, due in part to the secret pumpkin that BrewTEAlly Sweet is organizing.

I used nearly 3 teaspoons for my 16oz steeping mug and I let it sit for 4 minutes. What I got (after the candy bugs disintegrated) was a rather unremarkable vanilla rooibos; which, aside from the bit of creamy mouth-feel due to the cream additive reminded me of the cheaper and easily accessible Numi Rooibos that I sampled while at the in-laws.

It’s not super pricey or anything, but I was expecting more oomph. Into the swap box it goes.

I recently discovered loose leaf tea and am already addicted (much to my husband’s dismay)! I prefer fruity teas iced and savory teas hot. Looking forward to drinking and chatting.

Some likes/dislikes I’ve been noticing:

Likes:
Pineapple
Jasmine
Fruity White Teas
lighters Blacks
Most Oolongs (especially greener varieties)
dessert teas
tisanes iced that don’t require added sweetener

Dislikes:
Spicy flavors unless in chai
astringent black teas
heavy ginger teas
teas with licorice (as primary ingredients – somehow I like some where the licorice is in the back drop)
heavily oxidized oolongs

For my own reference, I’m only placing “full size” teas in my cupboard.
