Yum! My grad school work is getting the best of me, but I always have time for a tea break.

Keep going! Don’t let the stress get the best of you!

You can do it! With tea by your side! =) A school work to-do list, broken down into small manageable portions, and focusing on only the current portion with a short break as a reward after finishing it got me through. What are you studying?

It isn’t too bad, I just had a lot to get done in a matter of a couple of days because of all my projects coming up. I’m working on my master’s in elementary education/esl instruction.

That’s really neat. In Texas, the ESL will be especially useful and helpful. I grew up in Fla, where it was as well. Plus the amazement of getting to watch kids get something for the first time that teaching provides.

Profile

Bio

I am a former coffee drinker turned tea lover.

Black tea is probably my favorite type of tea, but I rather enjoy most types… I’m even developing a taste for pu-erh.

Rating Scale:
0-10: This tea is either flavorless or just plain undrinkable. I will avoid these teas in the future.

11-20: I was only able to make it through a few sips before pouring the tea out.

21-30: I may have been able to make it through the first cup but the thought of having another has me cringing.

31-40: Teas in this range are not horrible, but nothing I would seek out in the future.

41-60: Would drink if offered, but would not purchase for myself.

61-70: Okay, nothing special

71-80: Enjoyable, but I have to be in the mood for these. Probably would purchase if I found a really great price.

81-90: Pretty good tea, will probably be one of my favorites.

91-95: These teas are really excellent. I wouldn’t necessarily run out and buy more of these (just because there are so many teas out there that I haven’t tried), but I would miss this tea.

96-99: Terrific, very impressive.

100: This special rating is reserved for teas that are absolutely perfect in my opinion. I will only give out a rating of 100 to one tea per category (Earl Grey, unflavored black, dessert tea, Irish Breakfast, etc). These are teas that I really want to have around.

Perfect Teas so Far:

Earl Grey: Saint Isaac’s Blend (Russian Earl Grey) from Upton

Dessert Tea: Marco Polo from Mariage Freres

Unflavored Black: Emperor’s Red from Premium Steap
