From Courtney!

It’s so good to have a sturdy decaf option for the afternoon. Currently drinking this while working on my meal plan for the week. Also eating frozen chocolate covered grapes which are oh so good.

Ooh what a delightful snack! I’ll have to try those come the summer!

You know, much as I love my builders’ tea, I’ve never tried any variety of Barry’s. Something needs to be done about that! It can be found locally, at least occasionally.)

drank Mordor by Liquid Proust Teas

It’s just after 12 noon here and I’m finally sitting down to breakfast. I’m not sure why it takes me so much longer to cook than it does most other people but here we are. Having this really lovely chocolaty blend from Liquid Proust which is proving to be a great accompaniment to the fried egg and Conecuh sausage on my plate. No more resting after this though, as I have multiple piles of laundry to fold and put away this afternoon. Before I know it, it’ll be time to start dinner! But I do plan to drink tea throughout, so that’s something to look forward to. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend so far!

Sipdown! Sometimes the last cup ends up being mediocre at best, usually because I didn’t plan ahead and either have just a little too much or not quite enough tea leaf to make a single cup. This last cup is just as delicious as all the rest and confirms that this blend needs to be on my next order with Simpson & Vail, no question.

Profile

Bio

Lifetime student. Lover of books and paper and ink. Kitchen dweller. Aspiring herbalist, excessively proud cat lady, and tea fanatic. Thirty-something elder millennial. She/her.

I love flavored black teas most of all, always with cream and honey. I enjoy floral and fruity teas, as well as flavored or scented ones. I’m not overly fond of green or white teas, but I’ve found a few that I enjoy.

I’m open to tea swaps and/or just sharing what’s in my tea cabinet! Please reach out if you see something I have that you’d like to try. I do my best to update my cupboard regularly.

Favorites
Any and all black teas, smoky teas, raspberry, strawberry, red fruits, bergamot, chai spices, floral teas, caramel/toffee, jasmine, rose, vanilla, peaches, plums, valerian root, cinnamon, cardamom

Not a huge fan
White teas, green teas, artificial sweeteners, sarsaparilla, licorice, lemongrass, lavender, hot hibiscus, hibiscus in black tea blends

Rating Scale

1-20: By far, one of the worst teas I’ve tasted. I most certainly will not finish my cup and will likely “gift” the rest to my sweet husband, James, who almost always enjoys the teas I dislike (and vice versa).

21-49: This tea is not good, but if I mix it with another tea or find another steeping method I might be able to finish it.

50-69: This one is just okay. I might drink it again if someone were to give it to me, but I probably won’t be buying more for myself.

70-79: This is a consistently good tea. It’s reliable but not necessarily special.

80-90: This one is a notch above the rest and I would gladly enjoy a cup of it any day of the week. I’ll likely be keeping this in my cupboard, but it isn’t one of my all-time favorites.

91-95: One small change and this tea would be perfect. I’ll definitely have a stash of this in my kitchen if you come over for tea.

96-100: No words can describe this tea. It’s an experience, an aha moment. Closed eyes, wide smile, encompassing warmth. Absolutely incredible. Perfect.
