I hadn’t had this tea in a while so I brewed a pot while trying to keep myself awake as I do some audit homework. I forgot how strong this smells but how light it tastes. Also I forgot how finicky it is to brew. I think I steeped it a little longer for my tastes, but maybe that’s a good thing because it’s stronger than I normally like.

I fancy this tea when I need to chill out before I go to sleep. It does the job and tastes very pleasant. I’m going to SF this weekend so maybe I’ll stop by Davids and see what else takes my fancy.

Fancy.

I tried cold brewing this to see if the taste is even better. It… didn’t. In fact it tasted worse and more like cough medicine. I’m tossing this, I can’t hand this over to someone else, it would be inhumane.

This is going to be short.
I had a very long day and I need to cut back on the caffeine because I only slept for 3 hours last night and today I had a full day of classes.

I taste ginger more in my Stash Lemon and Ginger tea than I do in this.

Burn.

Honestly, when I brewed my sample and took it with me to my desk I thought someone had popped some popcorn recently. I could smell the butteriness in this tea from my cup. Tasting, it’s like drinking an almond biscotti. Despite it’s butter smell, this tea is very light and makes me happy. I think I shall dub this my black happy tea.

I’ve had too many gross teas lately so I treated myself to some MF green tea. I still fancy this one quite a bit, it smells very floral but it has a delicate taste with a hint of sweetness. I need to invest more in MF’s teas once I finish going through the rest of my stash.

I think this tea goes bad fast, or I received some that had been sitting around in its bag for a while. I wanted some spice this morning and brewed this tea. It tastes… weird. And no, it’s not because I brushed my teeth prior to consuming this tea. I poured myself another cup and something is off about it. This tea has become less tart and more bitter. I may need to retire this one, I do not enjoy bitter flavors in my tea.

Picked this up during my most recent visit to Lupicia. I should have tasted this tea before purchasing it. I love peach teas so I bought this on a whim thinking it would be lovely. Instead it smells and tastes like this awful cough syrup the doctor use to prescribe for me when I was little and sick. This is just gross, I don’t think I could pass this tea to another person because I don’t want to torture another human being. And I think I’m spoiled by MF’s rooibos, they’re full bodied and this one is like dirty cough syrup water sludge stuff.
