drank Milk Caramel by Lupicia
206 tasting notes

The smell of the dry leaves of this is super-unimpressive. I don’t know if it’s the sample, or how the tea always is, but it smells like it was left in a grandmother’s attic for years.

Sometimes grandparents’ attics are treasures. Like the time I found a 1950s Ouija board in my grandmother-in-law’s. Or the beaded white bowler cap my mother-in-law got married in. (Yes. Exquisite. Like this, but worse: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/87/d8/f5/87d8f5154c298a5ae0c4de5a2d2ffa81.jpg )

Once steeped, the tea smells like dust. With, if you breathe really deep and concentrate really hard, some maybe vanilla/cream in there? The attic-feeling remains.

And the taste is crazy. It’s like drinking a slightly moldy cardboard box.

But the aftertaste, once the cardboard is down your throat, is so good.

But, guys, one cannot survive on aftertaste alone. I must say adios to this tea.

It is not “bae.” As the kids say. Did you know that bae means “before anyone else”? That seems like a thing you all might not happen to know. I work with people much younger than I am. They inform me of slang.

Just typing the above paragraph makes me feel like… someone who would have an attic that would produce this tea.

You know, I have to say about the same about this guy. Its getting at least one more try, but then it might be written off for me as well.

I loathe the word bae. Though, knowing the meaning is that instead of what I thought it was (short for babe), it makes me hate it slightly less.

Super Starling!

Mitch, I accidentally told a friend that it was short for “babe” before I knew The Truth. She was like “oh, I should’ve figured that on my own.” Now I feel to embarrassed to tell her the truth. It weighs heavy on our friendship, unbeknownst to her.

Haha, I understand because I’m pretty sure I’ve told my wife that is what it means. I still haven’t told her the updated meaning yet. Our relationship is a lie.

Bio

I’m a graphic designer, illustrator, crafter, geek, and recent tea convert. I love teas that are sweet, zippy (caffeinated), and hopeful. In concrete terms, that’s usually black or maté tea, with some chocolate/vanilla/berry/nut in there somewhere. If it gives me the dessert experience without the calories, my heart soars.

I’m not a big fan of mint, grass (“yogi farts”), sours, or bitterness.

I’m into the idea of trading to try new things. If you think our flavor profiles coordinate, let me know, and we can swap boxes!
