So this pretty much says it all: Today I received a grand total of 32 teas from swaps, on Monday we picked out 15 new teas from tealish, and I’m resteeping this instead of trying a new one.

I want 32 teas from swaps, and 15 teas from Tealish. Jealous! : )

I had a duh moment a few minutes ago. If you’re ever interested, I’d be happy to do a Tealish swap for Sawadee tea! Tealish has a 50 g minimum purchase, but they’re all really tasty!

I’ve never even heard of Tealish before, I was just jealous of your teas – Are they good? I’m sure we could arrange something at some point!!

They are! So far I’m really impressed. We’re going to pick up some of their Monk’s Blend on Saturday, but De loves their greens and so far I’ve enjoyed everything of theirs I’ve tried.

I was just peeping around their online store and it seems they’ve got very good prices on things. I’ll have to keep an eye out for your reviews!

My tastes in tea have changed, so I should update this as well. I find myself leaning more towards rooibos and herbals, if only for their great ability to chill in my travel mug for hours and not get weird on me. When I have time to properly brew a cuppa, I lean towards white teas (which I only steep for 30 seconds) and black teas (which only get 2-3 minutes from me). I cannot stand green teas, they’re too fiddly for my tastes. Oolongs are great, but a bit fiddly as well. However, I love watching oolongs open up in my looseleaf brewer. I’m slowly discovering mates and falling for them…there are many I look forward to trying!

So…yeah. That’s me and my tea!
