Oh, I bought some of this after a sample. Yay! Thank you, past me, for delicious tea! :D

I love every bit of this tea. :D

I was home for over two hours before I started shivering. I took my temperature. 95.6. Hypothermia starts at 95. I ordered an extended range thermometer off of an EMS site. I have a suspicion my regular OTC thermometer is just a wimp and gets confused below 98 degrees. Haha! Oh, I certainly hope so. In any case, threw on another sweater, and turned my kettle on. :)

Flavors: Vanilla

That sounds scary! Glad the tea was good though :)

The first time I measured my temperature that low, yeah, it was a little shocking. Now it happens so often that the shock has worn off and it’s a part of life. Like that crazy loud noise your car makes ‘cause the muffler’s got a giant hole in it—don’t mind me, just being noisy/cold. lol

Bio

I discovered my love of tea in college, in Oregon, where nearly constant rain and clouds and fog demand some sort of warm, cuddly beverage.

Since moving back to Idaho, where seasons actually exist, my adoration for tea has bordered on obsession. I like a variety of teas depending on my mood and the alignment of the planets. I’m pretty sure my love of tea saved my life after coming home from the deep freezer with hypothermia day after day. ;)

I am recently married, and my next project is convincing my husband that instant Lipton iced tea does not count as tea. sigh

Here’s my rating system:
0-19 – I did not like this tea. I will not touch it again with a ten-foot-pole. I may have family and friends try it in hopes of pawning it off on them; otherwise it’s in the trash. That bad.
20-40 – I do not like this tea. I might be able to tolerate it with large amounts of sugar and/or almondmilk and/or another tea. I will be giving it away to the first family/friend who likes it because I’m too lazy to enjoy this.
41-60 – This tea is okay. If I am careful how I prepare it (temperature, amounts) and add things to it (sugar, almondmilk), I can enjoy it.
61-70 – This tea was fairly enjoyable, but I have to be in the mood for it, and I have to at least sweeten it.
71-80 – I like this tea. I might even drink it without additives. It may still be mood-driven, but it’s pretty good. I would recommend it to visitors coming over for a cuppa.
81-90 – I really like this tea. I can drink it regardless of cravings. I will rarely if ever add anything to it. I try to peddle it to my visitors as examples of great tea.
91-100 – I love this tea. It is wonderful. Every cup is heaven. I will not share this. I will tell people to go get their own crack. This stash is mine.
