80

I am now officially under 100 teas! Does that mean I get to go on a tea shopping spree?!?

As for this tea, I am happy I still have quite a bit around. It is warm and comforting and quite reminiscent of an oatmeal cookie. It is a happy tea for sure :)

In other news, has anyone ever tried sprinkling flavored matcha on yogurt? It is something I have been contemplating doing and I think it might be good. Thoughts?

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 2 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

Adding more stuff to your package right now… You get the last of my Demain, I’ve decided. Anything to bump you up, knock some things off your shopping list, and get rid of a tea I didn’t really like all that much.

Courtney

Awesome for under 100! I haven’t tried that, but it sounds like it could be tasty.

VariaTEA

Haha oh Roswell Strange, something tells me it was a mistake to tell you to hold off on sending the package. I fear what will happen to my cupboard when it arrives.

And Courtney, I can send you some if you like :).

Courtney

Haha, I should’ve clarified – the matcha on yogurt sounds tasty. :)

VariaTEA

Oh. Yeah, I don’t think that would travel as well :P

Courtney

Hahaha! Please don’t send that. Yogurt gone bad, with extra green when I open the parcel doesn’t sound appealing. :P

VariaTEA

Oh god. That definitely would not be something I would want to receive.

OMGsrsly

You definitely need to go on a shopping spree. :)

I recently wrote a tea note about mixing Bee Pollen matcha with Greek yogurt, and yep, it’s awesome.

VariaTEA

Now I just need to decide what matcha to mix with my yogurt. I have vanilla greek yogurt so I am trying to decide what best mixes with that.

Sil

No fair! I’m on a vacation and can’t keep drinking!

VariaTEA

Yay! You finally made it to Florida I take it! Congrats and I hope you have an awesome trip.

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
