Lynne-tea

Lynne-tea drank Licorice Twist by DAVIDsTEA

So I went to a funeral coupled with a bit of an adventure to Vancouver over the weekend… which in the end caused me to catch an uber cold from a friend. So after 21 hours of sleep and hot baths I am now able to somewhat function.
Due to my muted sense of smell and taste… I figured this intense tea would kick my tastebuds into action! It wasn’t even enough to do it.. but I definitely appreciated being able to taste licorice and a touch of spicy sweetness. I also really appreciated the fact it has no artificial flavourings in it as I would rather just go with simple and natural ingredients as I try to get over this cold. I wish more of DT’s teas were like this.

I did 1 tsp in 6oz of boiling water… with this method I was able to get at least two steepings per batch.. I definitely had 6 cups of this overall!
This is a perfect tea for anyone who is nursing a cold =)

Bio

I am very excited to delve into as many different types of tea as possible… so this should be interesting. I am really looking forwards to tasting all the wide array of flavours that can come from pure tea leaves.

Currently, I am having a love affair with oolongs. Mostly green, though I am stretching out into more oxidized oolongs. Black teas are also in my love fest as they can be so surprising sometimes (I used to drink bagged red rose x.x)
I would really love to get to know green tea a lot more and white tea.. all tea to be honest. I want to know them all.

Tea rating system:

0-50: Do people actually enjoy this?
50-60: Slight improvement, not recommendable.
60-70: Alright, though easily forgettable.
70-80: Good flavour, though not a ‘go to’ tea.
80-90: Great tea – complex and memorable.
90-100: Extremely delicious and complex teas that leave me craving more.

On top of tea, I have a love for music. Generally all music, though I am partial to indie rock/folk/pop/electronic. Follow me if you also enjoy indie music and would like to trade some artists!

I’m always open to new tea and music suggestions. Happy tea drinking to you all.
