My swap from CHAroma arrived today! Yay! Now if only the boxed up teas were potent enough to combat the nauseating skunk smell of the house…. Ever since 6:30am, the house has reeked of skunk. And so did my car (everytime I got into it, it smelled horrible!) It’s truly nauseating. Stupid skunk.
Anyhow, I was so excited for this one that I figured I should try it first. And aside from the fact that I obviously oversteeped it, it was pretty yummy! Very delicious, creamy lemon fluff flavours. So glad I ordered it before it sold out! I can’t rate it until I’ve steeped it properly (4 minutes is too long), but I think it’s going to be high. Also, the base tea is lovely – I can really taste it shining through! Now to wait the 3+ weeks until I get my very own baggie of it…
ETA: Seriously? I ruined the second infusion by oversteeping too? You’re kidding me. Guess it’s a very good thing I’m getting my own. Also, highly recommend like 2 min or less infusion times…

Skunk??! Oh no!! How come your house (and car) smells like skunk? Sorry the tea was oversteeped, but I’m glad you liked it anyway. That’s the mark of a good tea in my book! :) And sorry I haven’t seen your posts yet. I took a hiatus from Steepster for a week ‘cause I’ve been drowning in wedding madness. But all’s well now, so I’m baaack! Now it’s time to catch up! Expect a flurry of likes and comments. ;)
Guelph has a lot of skunks… I guess one decided to spray outside somewhere nearby!! Yuck. It was gone by the end of the day, mostly. And yes – I was excited that the tea was still good even oversteeped! Not great, but the potential is there! Glad to see you’re back. Sometimes time off from Steepster is necessary! My sister just got engaged, so it’s all about her wedding stuff now, hahaha.

Ooooh, fun!! I mean about your sister, not the skunk spraying around your house. :P
