I guess DT discontinued this one but I had about enough left for 2 cups…now one cup.

It’s a welcome drink after the cup of crappy caramel brule I just had. That wasn’t the official name but it should be!

Anyway, back to bananas.

I’m enjoying this. It’s a bit old, but still tasty enough. This cup isn’t heavy on the banana flavour but it also doesn’t taste fake at all, which is greatly appreciated. There’s nothing worse than fake chemical banana taste. Except maybe fake apple taste.

My first few sips were ruined because I just had a piece of toast with avocado and salt and pepper on it, so when I had a drink it was like a peppery banana.

That’s gone now, and this is a very pleasant oolong.

I much prefer the Coconut Oolong (which they just brought back, hooray!) and the Vanilla Orchid oolong (man I hope that’s still around) from DT, so I’m not tremendously sad that I only have one cup left of this guy.

PS
STEEPSTER would you hurry up and make an app already? It’s 2014! My iPad hates your website! I can barely like people’s posts and this whole draggy bar thing to say which temperature you used is hella annoying and impossible!

Amen on “draggy bar thing”, as you call it. I’m on iPad also but when I get too frustrated I go to laptop.

I only have an iPad and an iMac which is upstairs, so Steepster has to deal with my auto corrects and inability to heart half the posts I attempt to… And I usually fudge my draggy bar info because I can never get it spot on where it should be!

Hello!

I love tea. I love my mini-me daughter, my husband, my dog Wally, Netflix, shopping, and tea. Some other stuff too, but these are the most important!

Some favourites -

My new favourite tea company is A Quarter to Tea. I love the flavouring used and how it doesn’t seem fake, and the combinations are so delicious. Right up my alley.

My favourite teas are black, I love Laoshan Black and Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black tea from TTC. Also many of Teavivre’s black teas.

Butiki teas RIP, I loved how the flavours were subtle and not fake tasting and didn’t overwhelm the tea base. Trust that I am dramatically mourning the loss of this company!

Teavivre, Whispering Pines and Mariage Freres are some more tea companies I appreciate. Along with Davidstea as it was the ‘gateway drug’ to my tea addiction. Though I’m mostly over it now, I’ve definitely moved on from the artificially flavoured teas and am trying more quality straight teas!

My ultimate goal is to try as many French teas as possible – and to finally find a source in Canada for Mariage Freres so I can buy Wedding Imperial, and Black Orchid for sure.

I would like to try any Taiwanese Assams that exist in the world!

Also continuously on the hunt for Fauchon – La Naissance. If anyone has some of this I would pay for it!!! It’s my number one all time favourite tea.

When I rate, it goes like this:

85 -100 = WIN! awesome, I love this and keep it on hand
70 – 85 = pretty darn good but I don’t NEED to own it
55 – 70 = not necessarily terrible but not a tea for me!
30 – 55 = missed the mark as far as I am concerned. Wouldn’t drink it willingly.
0 – 30 = I likely won’t rate this low very often, so if you see it, consider the tea a great big FAIL and probably disgusting.
