Yeah, this tea was okay, but I finished it up yesterday and don’t think I’ll be replacing it any time soon.

I feel exactly the same about this tea!
A new one came out yesterday though.. pomegranate something.. it looked just like this tea but 10x better. I’m trying it on wednesday, let you know if it exceeds Strawberry white b^_^

I was in store today and took a sniff of the Pom Power. It smelled amazing, but I’m a bit worried about two things. 1) Hibiscus. I hate the stuff and it can ruin a tea for me, However, I might dodge a bullet in that as I only steep my whites for 30 seconds, so it wouldn’t give the hibiscus time to take over. 2) The pomegranate seeds look awful heavy and I’m worried it will end up like Mango Madness. Tons of heavy fruit with very little white tea, therefore crazy expensive.

We’re taking off at 5 tomorrow morning to spend 2 weeks in the States in no-tea land, so I didn’t get any, I wouldn’t have the time to devote to brewing and tasting it properly, so I very eagerly look forward to what you think of it!

I’ll keep you posted! I hear ya on the Mango Madness bit. That sort of tea misses the mark in my opinion. Who knows though – it just might live up to the smell :D

Formerly aisling of tea, now you can call me ele .

“You can forgive a murder, but never a mistake while preparing tea.” Chinese proverb

Labels? Here you go: Femme, Wife, Lesbian, Homemaker, Happy. Don’t forget tea fanatic!

New label as of May, 2015: Diabetic. I’m using tea to satisfy my sweet tooth cravings and keep me hydrated without hurting my system or messing with my blood sugar.

Ah, tea. My love for you is ever changing. At my last update, I was all about the rooibos and now I hardly drink it. I only occasionally had an oolong and now I have one just about every day. I’ve learned the art of resteeping and coldbrewing and kombucha. I have a lovely little tea pet named…well, I haven’t decided on a name for him yet. I also have five! live pets, a tabby cat named Rosabella Francis (Bella for short), a ginger cat named Orange Julius Pekoe (Pekoe), a white and grey cat named Earl Jean Grey (Earlie), a tuxedo cat (and the only boy in the house) Prince Erik Darien Darjeeling (JiJi) and a red foot tortoise named Da Hong Pao (Pao). So if you see me referring to my girls, I don’t have kids, just animals.

As for tea, I love oolongs, herbals, and black tea. Since I am no longer working, I no longer feel the constant need for a mate energy boost, though I do still reach for it from time to time. I also drink less matcha, though I do throw a spoonful or two in when I’m making smoothies. Most of my tea I drink coldbrewed, and since I discovered coldbrewed rooibos was giving me headaches, I’m drinking less and less of it. Straight pu-erh is not a thing I enjoy, but there are a few flavored blends I like. Greens are still too finicky for me to bother with hot, but they make great cold brews.

I am by no means a tea purist. I greatly enjoy flavored teas and I put stevia in all of my teas. It’s just how I do.

I think I’m going to name my tea pet Mr. Turtle. Even though he’s a tortoise.
