I made a hot mug of this last night but then forgot about it, so I drank it today cut with soda water… which is how it turns out I drank the rest of it. And I enjoyed it again so much that I’ve finished my stash off in the same manner tonight.

It’s midsummer but it’s cold as heck and it’s probably going to snow on the mountain tonight. I’m curled up on the couch with a mug of this, some freshly baked banana bread and a distressing movie. What a great way to end the week.

Lovely afternoon brew when you’re out of milk. I sweeten it with a bit of sugar (but honestly not too much, around half a tsp for 500ml is PLENTY to bring out the sweeter notes).

Still perfection, imo, with a dollop each of honey and milk. I’m a fiend for it.

Hahahaha I absolutely have another cold virus. Just put me out of my misery, please. I’ve even had to take a Sunday off work and I NEVER do that because $$$. Crying.

Feel better! Everyone seems to be dropping like flies atm

I’m even in a different hemisphere and it’s still happening! It’s bloody summer down here! Having said that, it’s snowing in my state today. The world’s gone mad.

RIP me, I have a sore throat that 100% feels like a “first stage of cold virus” sore throat and I really don’t want a cold virus for Christmas. FFS, body, what is wrong with you?

ohfancythat

I have that throat/first stage of a cold virus thing right now too :( I’m willing it to just attack me immediately so I can try to get rid of it in the next week! Boo. Hope you feel better

Memily

Wah, thank you, you too! The cold I had last month was drawn out like yours sounds, this one came out of nowhere and knocked me out :(

drank Chin Hsuan by Teehaus Artee

Ok, after another mug of this one (now I’m confident that it’s an oolong) I’m changing my tune a bit—it’s nice but it’s quite weak; I definitely don’t like it as much as the Tung Ting. Which is good, actually! Look at me hbi g opinions about green teas beyond “it’s a green tea”!

The question is, do I bother finishing the small packet of this or do I justvin it? Can I bring myself to bin a tea? Is it the age of the tea that’s affecting the flavour (though this COULD be a yes I think it would be a loose one as this is a mild oolong by description in any case).

Translating my ratings, at a glance:

100 — CRITICAL OBSESSION LEVEL REACHED; CAN YOU MARRY TEA!?
95 — this must always be in my pantry. forever.
90 — excellent! you need to try this tea!
85 — very good! you should try this tea!
80-70 — I enjoyed this and will happily drink it again.
65-50 — Fine. Unremarkable.
45-35 — this wasn’t the worst drink ever but I was disappointed; it didn’t live up to my expectations at all.
30-0 — I didn’t enjoy this tea and that makes me sad.

MY TEASTORY:

Grandad got me started young, white (a LOT of white) Irish breakfast with two.

I never strayed far from that until the world of T2 Tea came to Brisbane some years ago, and now I don’t know what I’d do without a pantry full of tea options.

These days I prefer to drink my teas straight without sweetener (though I appreciate some black variations shine better with milk and/or a dash of honey/sugar). I also love a speedy iced tea (hot brewed then poured over ice), and my latest obsession is cold brewing (which doesn’t make a lot of sense, as Australia is headed into winter and I live in the coldest corner of the country, but oh well).

I’d love to make a bunch of tea friends on here, especially those who can talk Aussie teas with me. I’ve recently come back from a jaunt to North America and it was a real hoot to hit up DAVIDsTEA after reading so many reviews! I wish I’d had the chance to get to more stores… but I’m happy with what I got back past customs. See those teas and my local jams in my reviews.

I LOVE:
+ black teas
+ white teas
+ oolongs
+ flavoured versions of all three of the above
+ herbal infusions and fruit tisanes

NOT A FAN:
+ most green teas
+ LICORICE ROOT (my sworn enemy) and aniseed flavours
