Bye “butter rum”!!! I had this 2 oz bag for two years, drank out of it once. Then, all of a sudden, I got sick with a head cold and it’s all I’ve been drinking for the past 3 days. With a wedge of lemon, loads of honey and a splash of rum flavouring. In the evenings I have even added alcohol to it for a boost of tastiness. Today I couldn’t taste anything at all (so I should have drank some pu’erh!) but I know it tasted great just prior.

Maybe tomorrow I get to start killing off another lingering bag — oatmeal raisin cookie (della terra) — from last Black Friday purchase.

The only good thing about being sick is being able to finish tea that has been lingering in our cupboard. The last time I was really sick, I chewed through all the bagged tea that I had bought before my bf and I moved in, among other loose teas. I hope you get better soon and then you can enjoy teas you enjoy :)

I started drinking loose leaf tea in the spring of 2013 (why do we feel compelled to mark the date of tea drinking somewhat like addicts counting their sobriety days?)

Never been much into tea before. Growing up in Romania, tea was something mom made for you when you were sick. As an adult, my hot beverage of choice has been coffee, both flavoured and regular. I’ve recently stumbled upon Teavana and DAVIDs TEA and quickly got addicted to the latter. Then came steepster and all else followed.

Formerly a mathematician and insurance adjuster, I gave up the corporate world and am now a professional chef. I drink wine and sometimes cheat on it with tea.

I lean heavily towards flavoured black teas. I’ve started to crave the occasional straight oolong and green but so far unflavoured black teas leave me unimpressed.

I’m learning so I drink them all. Am even introducing myself to pu’erh. So far I can do fine with the sheng cause frankly, they don’t taste like pu’erh to me. The shou is another story.

Note*: The virtual cupboard does NOT contain any of the samples I hold since most of them are one-cup quantity.

Note**: My partner, our home improvements, gadgets, mortgage, travel, wine and food have budget priority over tea.
