This does not seem to be well received on Steepster but I really liked it. Pineapple? Yum. Marshmallow? Yum.

Is this the one I shared with you or a new vintage?

VariaTEA

I got this from CuppaGeek for the blog

I am guessing it was a recent batch. I liked it, but found that it needed more oomph: a gutsier base and deeper flavours.

VariaTEA

The batch would have been from at least a year ago, probably earlier than that.

52Teas

If my memory serves me, I created this blend during my first year doing this 52Teas thing – I haven’t made a batch since.

52Teas

Yes – I just checked, I created this blend as the tea of the week for July 13, 2015 – which is about a month and a half after I took over 52Teas.

evol-ving

Ahh yes, the one and only batch of this then. I preferred it when I mixed it with something else.

52Teas

A secret about this blend – I actually intended to create a pineapple mint tea . . . but when I went to the tea studio with my recipe, I read mint as marshmallow and proceeded to create a pineapple marshmallow tea instead. LOL Maybe someday I will do the pineapple mint.

52Teas

My excuse: it was the first two months of my doing the 52Teas thing and it was a very crazy time. Busy, busy, busy – with all the reblends and creating the teas of the week too.

Hahahahaha! Thank you for sharing that story with us, Anne. Great! The concept of this blend reminds me of those pineapple marshmallow-ish dark chocolates that come in a good box of chocolates—is it Black Magic that I am thinking of, perhaps?

On another note, I have been drinking Coconut French Toast w Cardamon Syrup Black today and I’ve been trying to post a review here because it is most fab, but Steepster will not let me. That tea page is odd and will not take a review. That tea today is splendid because for the first time, coconut is coming through more strongly than ever before and that is a marvellous flavour addition in my cup. I would support more coconut in this in future reblends or perhaps a new coconut variation of the blend. Anyway, it is a masterpiece!

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
