Twelve Days of Tea 2021 – Day Ten

I was planning to savour this a little longer, but then my EG fiend of a sister came over, took one sniff and proclaimed “that one”! The bag got dumped into the biggest pot I have, and even my 1 1/2 year old nephew managed to gulp down large quantities of a lukewarm cup and loudly exclaim “TEA! TEA!” (He likes to come over and sniff all my tea. While we try not to actually give him anything caffeinated, sometimes when we aren’t looking he acts lightening fast…).

This is simply a hit. Enough said.

Flavors: Bergamot, Citrus, Coconut, Creamy, Malt, Vanilla

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 4 min, 0 sec

I pulled one of my old 2019 packets out to have this one this morning as well. Had a hankering.

Haha, even your one and a half year old nephew is a convert! Well done!

Work friend of mine has a two-year-old grandson who already asks for his own cup of “peppa tea” when Grandma makes one.

Crowkettle

yes – seemed like the perfect day to pull out the Foggy Coconut.

@gmathis, That’s beyond adorable!I thought that some hojicha or “Forever Nuts” would be good starters for him; peppermint would be good too! He already seems to have a taste for EG though.. D:

Bio

I started my Steepster loose leaf adventure back in 2012. I can’t say I’m completely new anymore, but I still view oolong as a magical, extraterrestrial creature that unfurls in water.

My favourites are teas like Milk Oolong, Silver Needle,and Japanese Sencha/Gyokuro, or fruity and floral flavoured ones. However, I generally enjoy ALL the teas, including a good old cup of Earl Grey or Breakfast blend.

FAVOURITE INGREDIENTS/NOTES:

DESSERT FLAVOURS
Vanilla, Maple, Caramel, Butterscotch, Cream, Toffee, Nougat, Marzipan, Butter

FRUIT & BERRIES
Citrus Fruits, Passionfruit, Banana, Pineapple, Melons, Blackberry, Raspberry, Currants, Elderberry, Persimmon, Rhubarb..

SPICES
Ginger, Turmeric, Clove-forward chai, Cardamom

AROMATIC & HERBACEOUS NOTES
Sandalwood, Frankincense, Juniper, Eucalyptus, Mints

FLORALS

VEGGIE/GRAIN NOTES

Less Preferred Flavours/Ingredients:
Stevia, Apple, Cocoa Nib, Almond, Licorice, Cinnamon-forward blends, Chinese Sencha

Subjective Rating System:
I don’t give a lot of low ratings out, since a) I tend to grab tea I know will appeal to me, and b) I don’t have a lot of strong dislikes.

90-100: Favourites. The Desert Island Teas.
80-89: Loved teas. Possibly staple-worthy.
70-79: Good teas, but I’m less likely to repurchase. Minor quibbles.
60-69: Ok teas. Likely a few preference and/or quality issues.
50-59: Cup of meh. Will do in a pinch.
11-49: Varying levels of undrinkable tea.
1-10: Nightmare tea from the chaos realms. This tea is the embodiment of the primordial swamp, an unholy abomination. It’s very gross and I’m almost positive it doesn’t exist.
