This is beautiful. There’s clear notes of pine, sage and sweet grass, which perfectly compliment each other. This is a really nice, relaxing blend for the evening.

Flavors: Pine, Sage

I’ve always seen these teas in stores, but in tea bags, so I’ve passed. But now Cornelia Bean carries their loose teas, which is really nice.

Nice, you can buy it inline too if you buy the 1 ounce bag vs the tin of loose leaf shipping was only 1.88 to me in Ontario at least.

I have some of the Cold & Flu Relief one, and it’s really tasty. Only downside is they shipped 15g instead of 50.

I got it from Cornelia Bean. I’ve seen the original packets from Algonquin locally, but I don’t remember where. They’re definitely 28g.

Bio

I grew up drinking jasmine green tea with meals, but really fell in love with tea on a trip to Britain in elementary school. My first great love was Earl Grey, and I still adore it and all its variants.

I discovered the beauty of loose leaf tea much later, when, on impulse, I picked up a few teas that were on clearance at a home store. My introduction to loose leaf teas were Masala Chai and Provence Rooibos by the Metropolitan Tea Co and an unknown brand of kukicha and gyokuro (little did I know what a precious treasure I’d stumbled onto with that.)

At the time I was lucky to live in a place with multiple tea shops and several places to have afternoon tea, which is a delight I still miss.

Tea is part of my daily ritual and a nice, affordable way to appease the collector in me.

I enjoy distinctive whites, greens and oolongs, flavoured blacks, and herbals that are heavy on the citrus, lavender or mint.

Rating rubric, to give myself some consistency:
0-15 Yuck, not even drinkable.
16-30 Disappointing, not really inclined to give it a second try.
31-45 Disappointing, but maybe there’s potential? Worth one more try, prepped differently.
46-60 Mediocre, not terrible but not memorable.
61-75 Not bad. I’ll definitely finish what I have and might buy again.
76-90 Very enjoyable. Tasty, complex, it’ll keep me coming back.
91-100 BEST! I love everything about it and I will drink it forever.

Beyond tea, I’m a sex educator, polyamory activist, and radical queer. I love backwoods camping, abstract painting, baking & cooking, nail polish, cats, ceramic sculpture, and home nesting.
