I thought I was getting a good deal by buying 50g (an entire tin’s worth due to how light it is) for $3 after Easter last year. I’ve had it over a year and just can’t get through it. I don’t even like it. Creamy chalky texture, sugared pineapple and coconut, a weird mineral powder (dust from rocks) taste. Some undertone of pear that was completely unwelcome. It just doesn’t go together at all, and I hate how rooibosy it is because this blend might have worked as a green.

However, I WILL get through this tea. Only 30g left to go. .

Flavors: Creamy, Dust, Mineral, Musty, Pear, Pineapple, Rooibos

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
