drank Hatsune by Lupicia
1711 tasting notes

Been sheltering in place for two weeks now and I’ve had just about enough of my little roommates. They are also bored out of their minds and have found recent joy in tea. My tea. I know I should be proud, but I’m not. I’m frustrated. Little hands digging through the sanctuary that is my tea cupboard, getting in my way of my kettle, holding my glass kettle in ways that spawn visions of it slipping out of their grasp and shattering on the floor, leaving spots of tea to dry on the counter and leaving steeping baskets out on the counter cluttering the space around my kettle.

So today I turned to a cup of Hatsune. It’s really good. The cinnamon apricot combo over the toasted tea is so nice and comforting. If I could jump into this cup and soak for a while I’m sure I’d come out in a much better mood. I know there is bathtub gin, but is there bathtub tea? Wish I had a tub worthy of this experiment.

How old are your little roommates?

Teavivre’s Premium Jasmine Dragon Pearl tea is my “Calgon, take me away” tea. At first I thought your tiny roommates were cats, but saw they were bored and thought dogs, and then saw the part about them getting into tea and realized it was children! Ha ha! But how delightful. Oh, I see some awesome tea times in your future!

I thought that too – it must be cats! lol

Took a steepster break and didn’t see these comments until 5 months later! Tiny roommates are 8 and 11. One of them has always been spill prone which doesn’t pair well with tea. They seem to have lost interest in my tea collection for now. It will be nice when their appreciation for it grows and they aren’t left waiting impatiently for me outside various tea shops when we travel!

My name is Dustin and I like tea.

I’m an added flavor kind of tea fan, but have had a growing appreciation for plain. I want my tea to remind me of cookies and cakes with coconut and almond slices with a hint of chocolate drizzled on top. I want dancing ponies and flying monkeys shooting off fireworks! And no hibiscus. Hibiscus is the devil.
