Another sample from the lovely YYZ this was from a really long time ago but it got me through the day. I enjoyed this one a lot this morning – chocolatey notes in warm delicious tea form… and that’s about all i’ve got. it was a 12 hrs work day followed by a few hours of parents wanting to talk through things going on lol

yyz

Glad it helped get you through the day!

thanks for sending this one my way omgsrsly i tried this a couple ways and just cant seem to make it work. While it’s a nice creamy sort of tea…that’s where it ends. the rhubarb must have gotten lost on the way to the cup :)

Terri HarpLady

That’s too bad, cuz I know you love your rhubarb! :)

Sil

i almost bought some at the framer’s market this weekend to dip in sugar and eat :)

OMGsrsly

We used to eat it raw and sour. I don’t think I’d be able to do that now, but making jam would be lovely.

I had this from David’s today as well as a free iced tea. it wasn’t half bad but i still very much prefer it when i make it. Couldn’t tell you why either except that it’s better when i do it lol.

Preparation
Iced 8 min or more

Maybe that’s my problem with it? I’ve only ever had it when they prepared it and never cared for it!

Sil

when i get more you can steal some…

drank Cherry Snowcone by DAVIDsTEA
15737 tasting notes

I had this twice today. once David’s tea made it, and the other time i did. Mine tasted better lol but at least teh David’s one was free heh Still enjoying this as a cold brew but so far i’ve resisted buying it. Must stay strong to my no buying tea this month, especially in light of all the unexpected mostly sort of purchases that have come up this month sigh

Terri HarpLady

Like new furniture & paint & stuff? :)

Sil

Passport renewal; wedding gift; presents for some folks; tailoring and such for some things….etc… As well…. Ugh.

Sil

Insurance renewal; trip deposits…. Thy list is long this month :(

Dexter

(I might have sent you some fruity tisanes in the box I mailed today – Cherry Snowcone wasn’t one of them – but maybe some to help you get through til next month…..)

OMGsrsly

But! Trip deposits! TRIPS! :D

Yeah, I was not a fan of this. Not at all. I’d rather have the super SUPER sweet cotton candy. And I prefer root beer.

Sil

this one is nasty…

Kaylee

It makes me sad because I really want the rainbow tin this comes in, but I know I would hate the tea.

Guys…i finally picked this up to try! Basically enough for me to try it two ways so this will be in and out of my cupboard before you know it. I brewed this for about 24 hours and drinking it, it’s really really nice. I know there are better cheery tisanes out there but i am a fan of this one…which makes TWO from David’s that i’ve been a fan of recently… scaaaary!

VariaTEA

Their carnival blends are pretty good. I am glad you are enjoying them.

Sil

yeah :) course this makes not buying tea this month harder lol

Dexter

(I have tea here for you Sil – will get it in the mail to you Monday…)

Sil

dexter – you rock my world darling hug

mmm i need to get on top of trying and drinking through my Norbu teas. They were a guilty pleasure when i ordered them so i’ve been hoarding them for too long. this was the last of the 3 teas i took with me while travelling today and it too was a great choice. bready, cocoa-y delicious strong tea. yum yum yum

Dexter

MMMMMmmmmmm Norbu – I don’t drink their tea often enough either….(putting it on my list for tomorrow.) Happy that you enjoyed some today.

Terri HarpLady

It was a year ago that I had that awesome trade from Nofar, which contained lots of Norbu teas. :)

Sil

that’s how i discovered norbu! :)

drank Vanilla Citrus Spice by Verdant Tea
15737 tasting notes

this is from the most recent blending of this tea – it’s different than the first time i had it – more citrusy than when i feel in love with it, and less vanilla. that makes me less a fan, but i’m hoping that will even out as it gets a little older lol. either way, one of my travelling teas from today:)

MzPriss

Sil – I chopped up half a vanilla bean and put it in the bag because I think it needs it

Sil

oh to have a vanilla bean…heh my kingdom for moar vanilla!

Sil

wonder if there are issues with shipping to canada via customs and crap

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling as well!

Most of that is on hold these days though, including tea drinking like I used to as I have a new little one who eats up all my spare time.
