I LOVE THIS TEA! It is the first tea I ever got in an 100 g tin and that’s because it is amazing! It smells like vanilla – it could be a candle because it smells so good! The sweetness from the vanilla and sugar are present but not overpowering thanks to the cinnamon and the tea itself. AND WE CAN’T FORGET ABOUT THE GLITTER!! My friends call it sparkly tea and tell me I am like a princess because usually when I drink this I am sitting next to a giant unicorn pillow that a friend won for me at a theme park. All I need is a tiara and I can make my inner child’s dreams come true!

I sews it’s like you’re going through all my hated teas and giving out 90-100 :)

Ok, except the lime gelato

haha I think that’s what is interesting about this site – seeing how different people react to the different teas.

We would probably make good swap partners because I imagine we could send the teas we don’t like to each other and the other person would enjoy it :P

Effin autocorrect in ios7. I swear I read it before I hit post and it’s like it is possessed. It should read “I swear it’s like….”. Also, the peanut gallery, stop snickering :p

My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!

For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu’erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, toffee, cookie, cream, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well.

I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won’t drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can’t stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.

Tea Ratings Guide (as of December 10, 2017)
90-100 Teas I NEED on hand at all times
80-89 Teas I want to keep around for a cup every now and then
70-79 Teas I am glad I have around and can experiment with but probably don’t need more than what’s in my cupboard
60-69 Teas I would not turn down a cup of from a friend but that would probably be enough
50-59 Teas I can see why someone would enjoy but are not for me
Under 50 Teas I really did not like and most likely got dumped
