I can’t get over how taken I am with this tea. It’s like an earl grey cream, but not overly vanilla-y, yet the bergamot is so mellowed and this cuppa is just perfect. There was even a full rosebud in the leaves today. :)

I have been emailing back and forth with this tea company because I need to have more of this in my life, but they online cart seems to have a glitch and won’t let me check out. I now have one cup remaining from VariaTEA and I am trying to remain calm about it!

I treated myself to this cuppa to power through this paper. I am trying to have it written by tomorrow, then spend Christmas Eve editing and hopefully submitting prior to Christmas!

Thanks for introducing me to this tea that I can’t stop thinking about VariaTEA!

Have you tried using a different browser? I had to try three before I could get my Camellia Sinensis order to go through.

I did! I cleared my cookies (which the error message told me to do), then I tried regular Chrome, incognito Chrome, and Safari without success! I even had my partner try it on her computer, then we tried it on both phones, still without success. I finally gave it and emailed the company haha!

I’m so glad you liked this one! I was worried because of the bergamot but as far as bergamots go, this one is very nice.

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).
