Yesss.

Equal parts nutty, fruity, and creamy, this tea is cherry, pistachio, chocolate, coco-vanilla ice cream goodness. The finish is pure spumoni.

I typically hate marine green teas with a passion, am skeptical when it comes to chocolate and cherry flavouring, and don’t care for spumoni.. yet this just works somehow. Colour me impressed.

This one is amazing.

I was definitely not wowed by this one… perhaps I steeped it badly. I’m thinking it’s perhaps supposed to taste along the lines of Butiki’s Pistachio Ice Cream? (Where in the heck did I put that baggie of tea?)

I don’t know.. I used the last of my sample the other day and it came out not tasting nearly as great for reasons I don’t understand. This is why I try not to rate right away anymore. Now I’ll have to get another sample to see if my mind is playing tricks or if it’s just that finicky of a tea!

That’s the trouble I always had with Pistachio Ice Cream – it was super hit or miss. I think it’s just a trait of green teas, haha.

Bio

I started my Steepster loose leaf adventure back in 2012. I can’t say I’m completely new anymore, but I still view oolong as a magical, extraterrestrial creature that unfurls in water.

My favourites are teas like Milk Oolong, Silver Needle,and Japanese Sencha/Gyokuro, or fruity and floral flavoured ones. However, I generally enjoy ALL the teas, including a good old cup of Earl Grey or Breakfast blend.

Subjective Rating System:
I don’t give a lot of low ratings out, since a) I tend to grab tea I know will appeal to me, and b) I don’t have a lot of strong dislikes.

90-100: Favourites. The Desert Island Teas.
80-89: Loved teas. Possibly staple-worthy.
70-79: Good teas, but I’m less likely to repurchase. Minor quibbles.
60-69: Ok teas. Likely a few preference and/or quality issues.
50-59: Cup of meh. Will do in a pinch.
11-49: Varying levels of undrinkable tea.
1-10: Nightmare tea from the chaos realms. This tea is the embodiment of the primordial swamp, an unholy abomination. It’s very gross and I’m almost positive it doesn’t exist.
