Steepster, I seriously HATE you right now. HATE, yes in all capital letters. Since when does backspace mean “go back to the previous browser page”. The answer is: NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!! I wrote a giant 10 minute long post and hit backspace to correct a spelling mistake and VOILA – completely lost review. Hate, that’s right, HATE.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So here goes an even longer story that no one saw the first time. I normally sip a lot of my teas on the weekends. The weekdays are for guzzling tea to get me through the work day. For the last several weekends I have been really busy so I haven’t been able to drink a lot of tea. I have been trying to make sure I make tea to go so I can take it with me on my travels. But I have a major issue (other than hate…), I often forget to bring the travel mug with me. This is not a new problem. I have been doing this for years.

So yesterday after I brewed up a giant travel mug of this tea, I loaded up the car and locked up the house. Then I had to come back into the locked house, twice no doubt, because I kept forgetting things. I was well into my travels before I reached out to grab my tea and only grasped at the empty air in the cupholder. So when I got home 11 hours or so later, I couldn’t bear to throw this delicious tea away. I ended up sticking it in the fridge over night.

This wasn’t brewed with the intention of being a cold brew so it didn’t turn out too great. (Brewed 1 sachet, 10 oz, 195F, for 2 minutes). There is very strong cinnamon flavours. There is also strong apricot with a lot of sweetness. But the liquor is quite thin. There is not much to the rest of the tea. It is like very watered down cinnamon-apricot juice I think I will stick to this one hot.

Still angry steepster, still angry!

That really sucks. I’ve been writing my reviews in my notes app and then copying them over so as to prevent things like that.

I thought surely that can’t how Steepster works, but NOOOOOO! Backspace really does behave badly. That’s just crazy.

I just tried it also thinking it surely can’t happen…and it did. BOO.

OMGsrsly

It’s a browser-and-forms issue, not just Steepster. There’s a plugin called Lazarus you can get for Firefox that remembers what you’ve filled in.

I am a lifetime tea lover.

I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.

My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.

I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.

I love iced teas and cold brews.

My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.

I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
