ohfancythat drank O'Connor's Cream by TeaGschwendner

652 tasting notes

Another tea sample from Miss B’s stash. Thank you!

I was simultaneously disappointed and relieved with this one.

Disappointed because the other reviews mention creamy chocolate and booze and I got none of that. Literally. NONE.

Relieved because it’s one less tea on my “to order” list.

I really want some of Tea G’s Caramel tea but it’s been sold out forever, or else I keep missing it.

As for this, all I can taste is a perfectly decent, smooth cup of black tea.
No flavours coming out at all. Which is both sad and unfortunate. Again I question what might be wrong with my tongue.

Oh well, moving on! Glad to try it so now I can cross it off!
I’m not even going to rate this because I feel it’s so far off the mark for me.

Boozy, creamy chocolate would have been awesome!

Isn’t it frustrating when you don’t get those wonderful notes that everyone else seems to be raving about? Sometimes it makes me think there’s something wrong with my taste buds!

Hello!

I love tea. I love my mini-me daughter, my husband, my dog Wally, Netflix, shopping, and tea. Some other stuff too, but these are the most important!

Some favourites -

My new favourite tea company is A Quarter to Tea. I love the flavouring used and how it doesn’t seem fake, and the combinations are so delicious. Right up my alley.

My favourite teas are black, I love Laoshan Black and Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black tea from TTC. Also many of Teavivre’s black teas.

Butiki teas RIP, I loved how the flavours were subtle and not fake tasting and didn’t overwhelm the tea base. Trust that I am dramatically mourning the loss of this company!

Teavivre, Whispering Pines and Mariage Freres are some more tea companies I appreciate. Along with Davidstea as it was the ‘gateway drug’ to my tea addiction. Though I’m mostly over it now, I’ve definitely moved on from the artificially flavoured teas and am trying more quality straight teas!

My ultimate goal is to try as many French teas as possible – and to finally find a source in Canada for Mariage Freres so I can buy Wedding Imperial, and Black Orchid for sure.

I would like to try any Taiwanese Assams that exist in the world!

Also continuously on the hunt for Fauchon – La Naissance. If anyone has some of this I would pay for it!!! It’s my number one all time favourite tea.

When I rate, it goes like this:

85 -100 = WIN! awesome, I love this and keep it on hand
70 – 85 = pretty darn good but I don’t NEED to own it
55 – 70 = not necessarily terrible but not a tea for me!
30 – 55 = missed the mark as far as I am concerned. Wouldn’t drink it willingly.
0 – 30 = I likely won’t rate this low very often, so if you see it, consider the tea a great big FAIL and probably disgusting.
