Cleanse: Lemon Balm and Honey from Tetley

MissLena12 drank Cleanse: Lemon Balm and Honey by Tetley

So this is my tea tonight. I am madly studying for my final tomorrow, and the boyfriend is done his til Monday, so I’m actually at my house tonight and I forgot my loose leaf steeper at his house! Gah, I also don’t have much caffeine free tea here, definitely not any loose, as the only loose that is here is my wonderful VERDANT ORDER!! And I can’t drink it yet! Booo, I will wait til this weekend.

Anyways, after my tirade above, this tea is actually pretty good. It’s fairly mild, but it’s a nice little brew. The elderflower makes for quite a sweet smell in here, and the lemon holds its own. Now I have to get back to the books.

Hello all, I’m a university student finishing up my Electrical Engg degree this year (read:NERD :D), who is a bit obsessed with tea! I discovered loose tea in 2011, DAVIDsTEA in 2012 and it took off from there. I really started drinking/enjoying tea because it’s excellent to take to class in the morning and because I can’t handle coffee!

I enjoy a variety of herbal, white, green, oolong and black teas. I am a bit sensitive to caffeine, but I find that in moderation I can still indulge in black teas and matcha. I’ve also dabbled with matcha and pu’erhs.

Oh, and I have a severe peanut allergy and try to avoid all other nuts, just to be safe. Limits my tea choices a wee bit, but oh well.

95+: Absolute favorite, will try to always have it in stock, and when I don’t I pine over it!
90-94: Awesome teas, will probably purchase again a few times
80-89: Very good tea, may restock at some point
70-79: happy to have tried and will gladly finish, but not restock
60-69: not horrible, but not the best, will finish if I have some though
50-59: not a favorite, probably will have a tough time finishing the bag
-50: yuck. I don’t want to have it ever again.

I am happy to say that my caffeine intolerance seems to be subsiding! This is allowing me to try a wider variety of teas :)
