WELL HALLELUJAH PRAISE THE LORD I guess next time I whinge about a tea being limited edition only I should check the online store, hey? This one’s been in an orange box (ie standard range!) for MONTHS now, and I couldn’t be happier. No longer need to worry about stretching out the last of this box I’ve got, time to slam it down!

A lot of the teas in my cupboard are a cup or two away from sipdown and this is exciting for me. I want to get under 50 and then maybe I’m allowed to start buying some new ones.

No, that’s ridicukous. Fifty teas are still too many.

But who am I kidding? We’re not on Steepster to have a small amount of teas.

Sil

haha my goal is to get to 50….this is down from a time when i was at 350+

Memily

lol Sil! I think that was around the time I first started following you… your cupboard was certainly a place to be reckoned with! You’re doing marvellously…

Sil

hahaha yeah… except the closer it gets to 50 the more i’m like but i have nothing to drink!

Memily

I know right, I’m going through the same thing! “But my choices are so limited!” We are idiots.

drank Organic Cold 911 by DAVIDsTEA

A cold virus in November (remember, it’s summer next month in Australia) and the last of my sweetie darling Cold 911. Impressive that my supply lasted me almost a year! But what will I do for next year’s onslaught? I hate to think :(

DAMNIT THERE’S STILL LEMON MYRTLE IN THE CUPBOARD HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?

Ah well.

Rainy sick day today so I decided to brew this up traditionally. Similar to a marsala chai without the spices! A real treat.

Right, there goes the last of the 2013/original blend CS I’ve been hoarding. I’m going to miss it SO much because evidently the 2014 blend is seriously wrong. But the 2013 blend is perfect. Damnit. Seriously, my ratings are like a 95 for the 2013 and a 25 for the 2014. What do you do? (More importantly, wtf did T2 do!?)

It’s mildly hilarious to me that friends peering into my tea cupboard lately have remarked on how low it seems, where Steepster is still here to tell me I’ve got well over fifty teas in there.

I’ve drunk at least a litre of this in the past week and I’m still not sleeping well, but the tea can’t be blamed.

Sil

hahaha

Translating my ratings, at a glance:

100 — CRITICAL OBSESSION LEVEL REACHED; CAN YOU MARRY TEA!?
95 — this must always be in my pantry. forever.
90 — excellent! you need to try this tea!
85 — very good! you should try this tea!
80-70 — I enjoyed this and will happily drink it again.
65-50 — Fine. Unremarkable.
45-35 — this wasn’t the worst drink ever but I was disappointed; it didn’t live up to my expectations at all.
30-0 — I didn’t enjoy this tea and that makes me sad.

MY TEASTORY:

Grandad got me started young, white (a LOT of white) Irish breakfast with two.

I never strayed far from that until the world of T2 Tea came to Brisbane some years ago, and now I don’t know what I’d do without a pantry full of tea options.

These days I prefer to drink my teas straight without sweetener (though I appreciate some black variations shine better with milk and/or a dash of honey/sugar). I also love a speedy iced tea (hot brewed then poured over ice), and my latest obsession is cold brewing (which doesn’t make a lot of sense, as Australia is headed into winter and I live in the coldest corner of the country, but oh well).

I’d love to make a bunch of tea friends on here, especially those who can talk Aussie teas with me. I’ve recently come back from a jaunt to North America and it was a real hoot to hit up DAVIDsTEA after reading so many reviews! I wish I’d had the chance to get to more stores… but I’m happy with what I got back past customs. See those teas and my local jams in my reviews.

I LOVE:
+ black teas
+ white teas
+ oolongs
+ flavoured versions of all three of the above
+ herbal infusions and fruit tisanes

NOT A FAN:
+ most green teas
+ LICORICE ROOT (my sworn enemy) and aniseed flavours
