1271 Tasting Notes
annd I forgot to drink this tea yesterday, which I drank a couple steepings of 2 days ago. EEEP!!!!
So, I steeped the leaves western style for like 5 minutes. Might be kinda crazy waiting 2 days, but ehhh. Flavor is okay, a little light, but still kinda vegetal and kinda sweet.
Goes very well with my Okonomiyaki which I made with my husband’s homemade bacon!
Preparation
I really really wanted to have a cup of this tea – but I finished my first package and my second one remained unopened. Took lots of talking with myself to open it – I mean, I should drink it! That’s why I bought it!
Anyways, I went on a nice easy bike ride and then came home and baked cookies. White chocolate chip, strawberry cranberry, macadamia nut cookies. Uggg. Totally ate back the calories of that bike ride. Probably 2 two bike rides. Sigh.
Well, time to chase down those cookies with this tasty tea so I don’t eat more cookies!
/sip
OOoooohhh sooo smooth peanut buttery good! Man I love peanut butter right now. Maybe I should make peanut butter cookies next time. ARRRGGGG!
Preparation
This tea smells amazing!
Though, has an interesting mix of ingredients. It’s a fruit only herbal containing lots of various fruity bits, but also with cardamon, cinnamon and egg sugar drops.
Hot without sweetener, this tea is INSANELY TART! I thought my face was going to suck into itself. Sweetened, the tartness is improved, but pretty tart still.
Iced is where this tea is at (with LOTS of sugar) – Loads of strawberry flavor, hint of spice adding interest. A little creamyness. Not flat tasting at all and quite tasty.
Not a bad tea, but it needs lots of sugar. I don’t mind a bit of tart, but this is pretty crazy super tart! I’d buy this again, but I’m a little worried I’ll just be adding too much sugar.

Preparation
I decided to sip down my sample!
I drank 3 steepings – all light, buttery and vegetal. Now I’m full of caffeine, like I feel my eyes are huge but almost tired. I wanted a nice oolong before dinner, maybe this was a little too much before dinner!
Well, hopefully I’ll do another couple steepings tomorrow morning. Very tempted to have them right now, but I’ll be going crazier than normal at jiu jitsu tonight!
Preparation
I love your new(?) icon!!!! Just noticed it in the forums and had to say :D
the green background one or the pink cup one? I’m trying to change the pink cup one to be my steepster one, but it’s not working or taking forever to switch over.
Pink cup!! Maybe it just changed for me due to browser refreshing or something. It’s adorable :)
yay, it finally switched for me! TY! I coloured it yesterday after having it sitting around not fully coloured for a month.
I bought 2oz of this tea, I figured it be good!
I was totally right! I’ve had Lemon Chiffon before, which is amazing, and this one has that lemon drop yummyness, but also with a little bit of bitter lime flavor thrown in. Very creamy of a tea. No funky rooibos taste. The dry leaf smell of this tea is out of this world!
I figured I will try to have this or Lemon Chiffon always in stock. I really need to snag some Lime Chiffon too!

Preparation
Having this tea for breakfast! Very juicy!
I forgot how good this black is – maybe as I’ve had a couple unflavored blacks after this tea, and now having this one. I think it either set the bar or this black just is the one my tastebuds dig. I love the sweetness and lychee notes and lack of bitterness!
Looking back at the info on this tea – Nooo it’s attack of the leaf hoppers! Sadly, those are bugs, not bunnies!
Preparation
Something that is just so comforting tasting with this tea – really tastes like teas I drank as a kid, but better!
I gave 100g tin to my MIL awhile back – yesterday she told me that she really loves this tea! Though, she dislikes orange in teas, but this one is the only one she likes.
So tired from Rushfit, I think my arms are falling off from all those rows! I steeped up some Skinny with my late lunch and felt energized again, yay!
Preparation
I snagged this tea as part of the last iheartteas sale on etsy! WHoooooo! Is this one discontinued?
This is really good cold steeped! Really bright raspberry flavor! Overnight was a bit much though, it got a little too strong of a white tea taste/ going bitter verses last night deliciousness. Hot or iced? I don’t like as much – the raspberry tastes not as good – too much like raspberry juice powder in a way, but coldsteep the flavor is much better!
Uggg, really dragging my butt today to do my RushFit for the morning. I’m working out so much, but I need to drop all that winter weight! Plus that rich dinner last night, and I snacked on a few polvoron filipino shortbread cookies over the weekend (very good with tea btw)
I was thinking of skipping it, but I HORRIBLY rigged it on my HabitRPG to make doing Rushfit count or I lose lots of HP (or do it and gain lots of EXP and Gold!) https://habitrpg.com
Argg, must work out! Once I finish this cup, I’m gonna do it! Noo, I’m out! /cry
Preparation
OMG, I NEED to play this game.
oh hah i’m using Neufit! which is kinda like the same. you get XP and loot and stuff like in a video game. uh oh now i have even ANOTHER think to log my exercise in :(
I’m gonna check out Neufit, blah, well, I’m on the list to get the invite.
HabitRPG is pretty cool for also applying it to other stuff other than fitness. I got stuff like “Do laundry” and “clean office” on my list. I’m hoping they get the phone app out soon!
(if you want an immediate invite feel free to message me your email address. i’d invite you personally but i used up all my invites already.)
hi! i have a friend that should invite you soon if she hasn’t done so already :)
got it! thank you, lol neufit looks pretty fun, reminds me of world of warcraft a bit! Also reminding me I should get a fitbit
i freakin love my fitbit. i will willingly be late to work if i forget it at home because i feel totally naked without it.
Way too rich of a dinner party last night!
My husband made an Emeril recipe that involved duck rolled with bacon, avocado and pistachios. Then a Julia Child french onion soup and my custard caramel pudding. Spent the evening all dragging around from overly rich food.
Woke up and having another “not awake” morning and went for the good bagged tea. No idea how long I left the bag in for – tastes okay though. I’ve discovered if I put a tea on a very visible spot on my shelf, i’ll drink more of it! This one is there, next to a few others I’m trying to work through.
Preparation
I cold steeped Ginger Zinger for around 2 to 3 hours. While I was making tonight’s dessert for a dinner party, http://youtu.be/N6JZx86OyXM (Custard Pudding, or I call it Leche Flan) I was sipping away at my cold tea.
Ginger Zinger is pretty good cold steeped – actually tastes pretty close to how it tastes hot, but now cold! Orange and peach is there and ginger is humming about. Very good, I think i prefer this tea hot, but cold steeped as even more refreshing!
Homemade bacon?! Cue salivation.
