Ruby Woo Scarlett drank Amandine Rose by Teavana

I love almond teas and rose teas so when I saw Teavana had an Amandine Rose tea, I jumped on my poor penpal Jackie to ask for a sample and she very kindly put up with me. What a delight this tea is. It’s a very unusual combination but boy is it satisfying. It’s posh and comforting at the same time. The rose comes off really strong and the almond behind is so interesting. I’m really enjoying this with stevia.
Sadly the base was super weak when I resteeped it so I can only enjoy this once a day at most (I usually resteep my morning tea as a dessert after lunch so now I’m sad).

Posh and comforting is a great way to put it :) I do agree about the tea base — even the first steep is a leeeettle weak.

Bio

I discovered tea about two years ago, on a stormy night somewhere between benchmark 10,000 and 10,100 when I was trying to wrap up the first chapter of my dissertation (which ended up being 40K words – ludicrous, I know). I had to do something to distract me from the obvious – I was slowly but steadily losing my soul and personality in academia. I made a cup of Twinings Earl Grey (teabag) and was surprised to find it not only tasty but comforting.
I’ve come a long way since. I don’t drink Twinings anymore (though please enjoy your cup if you do) and left academia to face The Real World armed with a mug full of loose Mariage Freres Pleine Lune tea (yay!). My whole life I’ve been surrounded with coffee drinkers (love the smell, can handle the taste but twice a year) and it took me a while indeed to figure out that all tea wasn’t born Lipton lemon and wasn’t heated up in a microwave.
I’m very new to the tea drinking world but I’m nothing if not a perpetual learner and I look forward to this new adventure on Steepster!
