Queen West Blend from Tealish

Sipping it now…and contemplating…these first few sips make me wonder about it. As always, so far, thanks Azzrian.

Smell: It was kind of fruity, but also a bit weird since all my teas are in one place, so I smell a lot of just…tea. But this did have a cranberry/other berry/kind of orange-y smell. Steeping I smelled more orange than anything. Not strong citrusy orange, but the smell of orange when you bake it in something, kind of.

takes a few more sips

Taste: I taste cranberry a bit, though that may be raspberry, or both, though I definitely taste raspberry and orange. It’s light orange, but orange. It says blueberries, but I have yet to recieve that. And blackberry, I can taste that sortof. The cherry isn’t that strong, which for me is good, because I do NOT like cherry. more sipping It’s all very light, but I like it personally. May have to get a bit more, so I can have a few more tries with this one….I think I only have enough for one more cup. Over all, I think it’s yummy!!

Bio

Bio needed a change, so here it is!!
Me: 18, bookworm, tea lover, life lover. :D

My tea reviewing: I am open, honest, and way excited! I always start with the smell of the tea, first dry and then steeped. Then I head into taste, and if it seems important or nice, the color. And then finally, anything extra that needs to be said.

Tea making and drinking has become a ritual for me, a calming, wonderful thing that I love and it’s just something that makes me happy. :-) Loose leaf tea is my new heaven-sent love.

Favorite teas: Earl Grey, Chai, Fruit, yummy flavors like chocolate, anything sweet like that. Ummm….just good stuff, really. Open to trying pretty much anything, swapping, though not at the moment since my tea collection is a bit average and mostly bagged stuff. If you do want to get rid of some stuff, I’m willing to take and try, and I’ll try to give something in return.

I AM A STRONG BELIEVER IN ADDING SUGAR TO TEA! I will try it straight, but I am not afraid to add things to my tea, if they are natural and things that go well with it. I’m just as big of a tea lover as the dedicated purist is, I just don’t like tea straight, usually. Sugar brings out a lot of flavors. But hey, I’m not going to destroy my tea. :P

My ratings:

1-59: O.O NO. NEVER AGAIN. EVER!! NOOO NOO NOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT TEA THIS IS EVIL IN A CUP! (Maybe not always that harsh, but yeah.)

60-79: Good, will try again. :-) Not the GREATEST but good.

80-90: Great, a really nice tea. I love it!

90 or higher: YUMMY YUM YUM!!!

100: PERFECT PERFECT!!

I like to chat, so let’s talk!!
