aisling of tea

Very yummy. I had a to-go cup of this iced on the way home from DT today (I’m getting sick and was melting from my fever). It was delicious, but the leaves were slightly scalded, giving it a bitter aftertaste, but overall I’m glad I ordered a 50 g bag of this online.

I was so impatient for this and I paid for taking it out too soon. I made a yummy latte with it, but it definitely could have used a longer steep time.

Next time, Gadget, Next tiiiiime!

I love this tea. When we bought it, I was shocked at the price, but when I drink it, I’m positive it’s worth every penny. It’s just smooth and comforting and tasty and when it steeps, it is GORGEOUS. I love just watching it in my looseleaf brewer. Definitely not one for the tea ball, it plumps up way too much. This is one of my favorites.

Spent the evening with my inlaws in the land of red rose orange pekoe and Tim Hortons’ tea gift packs. Kinda felt like I was cheating on DavidsTea! With a cheap imitation >.>

But for all that, it wasn’t terrible. Not nearly as good as DavidsTea’s Baked Apple, though!

Made a fresh cup this morning with last night’s leaves…still so tasty! Kinda weak, of course, but definitely worth drinking. I am so going to get my money’s worth out of this tea!

I just love the hit of raspberry…it’s the kind of tea that makes you warm all over and automatically lifts your mood. it’s just plain amazing hot or cold.

So I passed out last night with my mug still half-full and I have to say, it is just as good cold! So good!

Guh.

Let me just say that again.

Guuuuh.

This tea is amazing. I’m in love. (And I’m even more in love with my wife for bringing it home to surprise me.) This is tin-worthy material right here. This could easily become my favorite tea.

Shockingly tasty. I wasn’t expecting to like this (what’s with me trying teas I won’t like?) and it was delicious! I bought some for my mother in Tennessee, and I had a sample of it I kept back for me….boy, do I regret sending off that package this morning! She’ll enjoy it though, and I’m happy to spread the tea love so far.

Added my sugar for the resteep and broke my bad tea day curse. I know I shouldn’t add sugar, but darn it, it makes it so tasty!

I think I’m just having a bad tea day because this isn’t really hitting the spot either. Which sucks, because I love this tea. Especially when cooked into a scone with dried peaches! Nom nom nom…maybe I should make scones…

Well, it’s probably a good thing I don’t care for this tea, as my wife loves it and it helps with her headaches. It’s not bad, per se, it’s just not…well, it’s not my cup of tea. It’s just middling. Not good, not bad, just okay.

So I saved last night’s leaves for a second steep this morning and am so sad. Either they lost their potency overnight, or I didn’t steep them long enough. Either way, it’s very weak this morning. Bravissimo will stay one of my favourites, I’ll just start with new leaves each morning and steep throughout the day instead.

At the end of the day, this is my happy place. This tea makes me feel better, it makes me relaxed and ready for bed…it’s a lovely nightcap to a lovely day.

Mixed this with spearmint in hopes of a raspberry mojito….got a weird-tasting cough drop instead. I like the two separately, but I don’t think I’ll combine them again.

Thank God for this tea. It is very tasty, but more importantly, it is definitely helping with my hangover this morning, even though I didn’t drink last night. Rich foods plus good company, I guess. Woke up this morning sore and dehydrated, and this little baby perked me right up! And it helps my wife’s migraines, which makes it amazing to me. This is definitely a tea we plan to keep in stock.

Enjoyable. Not the best tea I’ve ever had, but very much worth buying a bag or two, if only for the cooking possibilities! Had a cup of it tonight along with pouteane made with Cab Sauv gravy.
