Teavana Peachberry whatever + Fruta Bomba, coldbrewed

Ok I thought Fruta Bomba was a green, but the leaves are really dark? I know for a fact it was this tea in this container but it just weirded me out. The entire tea overall turned pink, which I know is a result of Peachberry whatever jasmine ridiculous name.

I hadn’t had either of these in forever so I really have no idea which one is doing what. I did 4 tsp of each and their one common denominator is peach. Then there’s the hibiscus, the jasmine, the strawberry, but I’m not getting much else out of the fruta bomba one, no citrusy notes, not even lemongrass given how much of it looked to be in there.

It’s pretty much just fruity, unidentifiably fruity, with a bit of jasmine. I definitely would not combine these again, or I might use only 2 tsp of Peachberry.

BY THE WAY I GOT THE JOB! Well, conditionally on passing a background check. It’s w/Starbucks, I’m excited. I also got school all settled, I am doing 6 credit hours for the next 2 semesters so while not being able to finish this fall is sad, I have plenty of time on my hands. Also I learned that even though my GPA will likely suck around a 2.17 when I’m done, I can boost my GPA with classes before applying to grad school so if I do go that route it’s not pointless.

YAY

congrats! i think that means that your staff discount is passed on to teavana? dunno if you like them, but reduced cost tea experimentation is good, correct?

momo

Thanks you guys! And yes it does, 30% and possibly in the future the weekly markout you get on something. I really don’t care for them due to starting to work for them but getting threatened for being a Steepster user, but there’s a couple I do want to try.

AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! :D

threatened… wait, what?

momo

Thank you CHAroma! <3

yeah, I had just started, but I had to go to a wedding in FL for the weekend. I’m about to walk in to the rehearsal dinner and I get a call telling me to stop using my “blog” if I want to keep the job. I’m certain this will change now hopefully b/c Sbux is very different, but I wasn’t saying anything bad about the teas I was drinking or giving away secrets and just asking me to delete their tea logs would have sufficed. It really put a bad taste in my mouth as well as the shifty tactics and being treated like a complete idiot for pouring someone tea in an odd situation (language barrier, two girls trying to do stuff at once) and closing without any previous explanation on what to do. I was out of there after that. Told me I wasn’t working again for an entire week (how do you learn anything!) and goodbye.

I have no idea what the hell Steepster just did to my entire comment. I’m not typing the entire thing out again so basics: I logged Teavana teas on here. I’m on a short vacation to FL to go to a wedding, get call at 5pm Friday from DM threatening me for “blogging” I didn’t say anything negative, etc. Also treated like fool on two consecutive occasions, lose hours for it IN TRAINING, decide not to go back.

Congrats on the job. I hope things work out for you!
