BIRD & BLEND IS HERE!

Check out the unopened box on my Instagram story here (also will be posting an actual photo later of all the teas!): https://instagram.com/stories/biologistcourtney/2440935902711447631?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igshid=1cw3w4rs5k521

I’ve been waiting to crack open this tea and finally I did! Lex is having the Carrot Cake rooibos next to me and the scent is so on point!

This one naturally had a delightful banana scent in the dry leaf, which translated into a nice banana-ness in the steeped tea. The base is not astringent at all, which is thrilling. This is just a nice smooth cup of banana black tea and I’m here for it. The banana doesn’t come off in a fake way at all either. Yay! Even Lex was intrigued and she doesn’t really care for banana-flavoured things!

Yaaaaaay B&B! Love Monkey Chops, and I think I have a sample packet of Carrot Cake that I need to dig out…

Courtney

Yes, we just got the sample pack for Carrot Cake as well. I’ll be doing a review for that one soon!

VariaTEA

I loved this one as an iced latte this summer

It seems I need get Insta for seeing the tea-stuff :D

Courtney

Good idea VariaTEA!

Martin, you really should! My instagram is mostly for my biologist photo-taking, but I use my story for all kinds of stuff. :)

Courtney: Have I said that I am nature-friend as well, though my thesis is about warehousing? I DO like nature and going there! So, I wouldn’t care (and I would enjoy) your stuff about biology (I even did High-school leaving exam from Biology). Oh well…

Courtney

Martin all the more reason to sign up :) I am doing my Master’s in biology now, but my undergrad was also in biology (conservation, ecology, & evolution).

Martin Bednář

I don’t want to admit it yet :P

tea-sipper

Courtney, that is awesome you are focusing on biology. I wish I was wandering around the woods every day. :D

Bio

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos (green preferable to red), herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens (mango or pineapple, yum!).

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
