Green Rooibos Poire Creme (BA04) from Upton Tea Imports

Missy drank Green Rooibos Poire Creme (BA04) by Upton Tea Imports

While I was steeping this tonight my app killer shut off my time and it got stuck. Good thing it’s a kangeroo. This is a pretty good night time tea. Dylan really likes it so it has earned a coveted spot in my cupboard.

The kangeroo plays very nicely with the pear and cream flavors. I find it to be very light despite my epic steeping time. (Dylan doesn’t know I steep red rocks for 15 minutes or so). The pear actually tastes like a regular pear and not some soapy interpretation of a pear. The nice creamy flavor serves to tie the pear to the kangeroo. It’s the Beringia of this tea. Today I learned that was the name for the bridge people crossed to get here from Asia. Any who, this is a nice tea to drink later at night with out the caffeine.

!! Have you… found a great pear tea?! Oh man. This is suddenly on my must-try list! Your rating is too high for me to ignore!

Let me see what’s left of the sample. If I have enough for a cup I’ll send some your way. :)

Oh! That’s ok – I wasn’t trying to request a sample :) If you want to hang onto it for a future swap it’s up to you, but I just threw it onto my shopping list to eventually try :D

Oh I was just making sure. Besides it’s nice to share. :)

I’ve been eyeing this myself. Glad to hear you like it.

Bio

I’ve discovered I really like the spicy, nutty teas. Some fruity teas are pretty good but they are hit and miss for me. Flower teas really aren’t my thing right now. Seems like my preferences are changing so this may be different in the future.

Tea Rating system:

90 – 100: This is a tea I will always have on hand at work, and at home. I will leave it on altars as offerings of perfection.

80 – 89: This, or one of it’s close cousins, will likely be in my cabinet at home. When this tea runs out, I will buy more. I’ll always wonder if there is something better, but be too afraid to look to stray from home to find it.

70 – 79: Definitely good, but not a clear winner. I enjoy it, I’ll finish it, but I probably won’t buy it again until I’ve exhausted all other versions of this product from any reputable retailer. Though, it may enjoy a resurrection for custom blending.

60 – 69: This tea is okay, but definitely not something I’m going to brew again. I’m going to give what I have left away.

30 – 59: I didn’t finish drinking this tea. I actually poured it out, and went for something else. I’ll still give this tea away, but I’ll do it with a warning and a plead for forgiveness.

0 – 29: This tea is riding securely towards an iceberg at the helm of the failboat. I’ve taken this out of my tea tin, and laid it on a napkin as potpurri. I do not consider it fit for human consumption.

Yes, I did copy this from Dylan. It’s okay we share every thing any ways.
