553 Tasting Notes

The lovely TeaNTees sent me some of this. I’m in love. The watermelon flavors and the white tea work so well together. Who would have thought! I’m savory what I have right now and enjoying it with a Laffy Taffy. Such a good afternoon treat!

Thank you TeaNTees!!!

TeaNTees

This tea has become my staple every day tea. I am just so in love with the citrus jasmine flavor. I need the warm comfort of this tea because I see a looming issue at work that I don’t want to deal with. Bleck!

TeaNTees

I have yet to try this one! Must remedy this soon! :)

Nichole/CuppaGeek

There may be some in your box that is awaiting one more goodie. . .

TeaNTees

Oooo Awesome! Thanks Nichole! :D

TeaNTees

Did you see the French Toast Dianhong in your box? :p

Do you think the tangerine should be stronger though? I did make them light…

Nichole/CuppaGeek

I personally don’t think so. I liked the lightness of the tangerine.

Liquid Proust

Awesome :)
Jasmine is a hard flavor to pair with fruit… I think the only other one I might even attempt would be peach. However, if I lose my mind I might try to make cotton candy jasmine pearls :)

Yep. Squidward Fandom Tea. Gotta say, I’m glad Squidward is getting his time in the spotlight finally. This tea my kiddos would even drink. Simple apple flavors that remind me of a crisp green apple. So far my favorite of the Geeky Teas.

Aw I love squidward!

Nichole/CuppaGeek

Me too! I looked at the mix and really thought it was going to be bland but I’m craving that tea now. It was such a good cold brew.

Happy Monday all! What a weekend. I could use a few more hours sleep for sure.

This is one of last teas I have from Leslie @Paper Box Goodies (Etsy Store). This was a white tea chai which was nice but I can’t say that I would want more of it. For being a bagged teas, her teas are pretty good. This particular one just didn’t give me the chai and white tea flavors I was hoping for. But for fans of not overly spiced chais, this one could be for you.

For the rest of my sleep deprived ramblings- http://www.cuppageek.com/index.php/2015/09/14/elderberry-jam-from-paper-box-goodies/

Have a great day all!

Yummers! This tea is hitting all those floral notes and more. So good. Plus, the tea brews up to an almost neon green color. I’m glad I still have a ton of this tea left. I drank it just about the entire day yesterday and plan on taking it to work with me again.

Happy Friday Sipping All!

Flavors: Floral, Sweet

Don’t quote me on this… but I believe each infusion will have a slightly different color because of the ratio of bluepea. I am really interested to hear about a cold steeping; I’ve never had a cold jasmine outside of a jasmine ginger ale.

I start each day off with a cup of coffee. GASP I know. But it just helps me get up and going and from there I drink about 10 cups of tea plus some each day. I found a really good coffee inspired tea. And it made an amazing latte!

TeaNTees I thought of you the whole time I drank this one!

This is a nice black flavored peach tea. The tea did surprise me of how it reminded me of fresh peaches and not artificial flavoring. I thought for sure that was what I would end up with. Not sure if I would want more but I couldn’t help but give it a go.

And this wasn’t a sipdown- this was an add on order :/

Happy Friday all!

Sipdown #27- Still loving this one. Sweet floral almost peach candy like flavor. One I’d like to have more of one day.

mrmopar

Some of their puerhs are getting good as well.

Nichole/CuppaGeek

I have one of them. I’m so intimidated still by puerhs. I feel like I need training on how to drink those.

mrmopar

Oh you don’t need training. A Gaiwan a scale a cup and hot water you are there. Tea is simple we make it hard sometimes.They have a nice Bada and Jingmai.

Nichole/CuppaGeek

I have all that. I will try it this weekend. I swear I just have a block when it comes to puerh. Plus I’m scared I’ll start off a whole new addiction to a different variety of tea that I currently don’t have a whole lot of :)

mrmopar

You just ask any question you have, I will be glad to assist you.

Nichole/CuppaGeek

I am going to take you up on this offer. I’ll send you a PM!

Profile

Bio

I’m back and hopefully for good! After a bit of a hiatus, I want to get back in the habit of logging my tea journey for various reasons.

I never know how to start these things. I’m a 40ish tea loving gal who enjoys tea parties, horror movies and polka dots/plaid. I have an amazing supportive husband who has allowed our house to be over run by tea in more ways than one. We have four kiddos between us along with our two furbabies that we love as much as they drive us nuts. Our family truly is our world.

Now on to the tea: I love all kinds. I’m not a huge fan of red rooibos- truly is my arch enemy but I love green rooibos. Beyond that, I’ll try everything once or twice to make sure I didn’t bumble up the steepings. Recently got into puerh and enjoying the adventure. If you are interested in something from me, just holler at me. I’m always up for trying new tea blends or sharing with others!

I’ve also started blending up my own teas at http://www.cuppageekteas.com/ I try to make fun unique blends to brighten someones day with.

I am also the admin behind SororiTea Sisters. If you are interested in reviewing teas for us, let me know!. We are always looking for guest reviewers or contributors: http://sororiteasisters.com/.
