OMGsrsly sent this to me to show me there was more than the pancake syrup maple-flavored tea I was getting out of most of Della Terra’s offerings. Many thanks!

I needed to add some Truvia to this to make it more juicy, and although this amped up the floral notes, I still found it tasty.

EDIT: Wow. There’s definitely something floral in here – I mean, I can see the flower buds. Zero in the ingredient list though. Not cool.

we really need to start that labelling CFIA discussion thread so at least people are aware.

Eurgh! I totally didn’t notice that. :/

MissB

Agreed! Let’s just start it…

Oh, not your fault! I missed it too. I’m fine with florals, I just usually prefer them out of my tea. Not always though – sometimes they really work. I’m flexy.

Bio

A few years ago, the obsession with tea started. The cupboard got bigger and bigger, more swaps occurred, group buys, secret rendezvous with local teapassionistas… and that’s how you end up with 500+ different kinds of tea in your home. At one time.

Almost all of the tea was given away, sold, or otherwise shared. A few relics still remain. I now travel full time with only two carryon bags to my name. One quarter of those bags are tea.

It’s still a challenge to avoid the chipmunk-like hoarding of The Teas, yet, the lightness of being from having so little compels me more.

If I have enough, I’m happy to share. If I’m in your area, I’d love to swap, meet for tea, and explore together.

As for the day-to-day stuff, I’m focused almost entirely on Love, (yes, with a capital L), Spirit/Self, transformation, travel and my writing and speaking work.

What kinds of teas do I normally like?

YES: flavored teas, fruity, dessert, chai, and spicy (REALLY spicy).

A FONDNESS FOR: all white teas, malty black teas, any herbal or medicinal teas, strange/weird teas you can only get in one place.

ALLERGIC TO: strawberries, lavender

DISLIKES: any added sugars, grains, lapsang souchong, and overly floral teas – I might enjoy a Jasmine Green every once in a while, but unless it’s a creamy floral tea (think roses in a chai, or the smoothness of a floral note in a French tea), I’ll likely pass. Earl Greys are a hit or miss with me; heavy on the cream or fruit notes and I might like it, heavy on the blergamot and I definitely won’t.
