Well I made this and had one lovely sip hot before my family realized our dog was missing. We then took to the streets to search for him. An hour later he turned up and now he’s back home and my tea is cold. Still tasty though, like honey and stonefruit. Thank you Ubacat for adding this to the box because it was a delightful treat among all the crazy.

Glad you enjoyed it and glad you found your dog. It’s a horrible feeling when they are lost out there and you’re worried about them. I’ve been through that a couple of times with my cats.

Yeah, we were panicking because of how cold it was going to be last night but also because we had a dog stolen before and were worried that it happened again. Luckily he turned up.

I picked the box up from Sil today after work and when I got home I immediately went through it, pulling teas that interested me and adding in the teas I had already packaged to share. By the time I finished doing that, eating dinner, and showering, it was fairly late so I decided to reach for a caffeine free option. This was by the top of the box and one I have had before but couldn’t recall how I felt about it so I decided to revisit the tea.

Now I am sipping on it while watching Smallville in bed. It captures the Lemon Meringue flavor quite nicely between the fluffy vanilla and the creamy lemon notes. Yep, I am definitely a fan of this one and since its from a local company, it won’t be too hard to pick up more in the future…probably after I finish the fair amount of Lemon Chiffon tea I have lying around. Thank you Sil for the chance to give this another try.

This sounds amazing. Hoping it makes it to me in the next round.

Did this taste like Honey Mead? I have no idea. Do I care? No, because whether this tastes accurate to its namesake or not, I can tell you it was delicious. http://sororiteasisters.com/2017/02/26/honey-mead-from-a-quarter-to-tea/

Received my portion of the Dammann Freres group order on national popcorn day. Luckily I had the perfect tea to celebrate with! http://sororiteasisters.com/2017/02/21/pop-corn-from-dammann-freres/

drank Strawberry Scent by TeaTaxi

This smells like a strawberry milkshake and tastes like…oolong. So that was disappointing .

And it was a pretty fantastic cup, right?

I wrote a tasting note for this last night but my computer glitched and deleted it before I could publish it. I got lazy and decided not to rewrite it but I’m being lazy st work and decided to just note that this was awesome. Both spiced and tangy and it smelled amazing.

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
