I’m winding down my valentines with this sample from MissB another rose tea :) I was hoping to get to my chrysanthemum puer but I’ll save that for tomorrow:):) anyways I don’t drink greens as much as I used to but this one is so gorgeous I couldn’t resist! The pale pink rose buds were so pretty in this tea. And it pairs amazingly with the lychee! I wonder why this one doesn’t have any reviews except one… Hmm! I found this one to be perfect to wind down my night! The green base tea is so simple that it works perfect with these two other delicate flavors.
Happy valentines day steepsters!

Wow why is there only one other review?
I’m sad I didn’t try most of these before the vente-privee sale. This definitely would have been part of my order. Anyways, it being valentines and all I thought a rose tea would be appropriate. I woke up to breakfast in bed from the boyfriend this morning before he left for work. After I decided to take a shower and then use my new Lush face mask (brazened honey). I then decided to take a bubble bath, ha ha a little backwards but hey! It’s Valentines and ill do what I want to! I split my bath bomb in half and went to town! I chose Lush’s Sex Bomb! My absolute favorite from there! So soothing! I felt like a million bucks soaking in the amazing scent! I read and drank this tea for a while! Mmmm mmmm mmmm!
I definitely am a rose lover and I love how well this paired with the Assam base. A perfect balance of woodsy and floral notes. Pure perfection for my relaxing afternoon! Thank you MissB for this!

:)

Mmmm this was a great ending to my day. Yesterday I took the boyfriend to Oakland to see the golden state warriors play the Miami heat (NBA game)his friends and I all pitched in and bought the tickets for his birthday last week, and we stayed San Francisco. This morning we took a walk down to union square and had breakfast at the cutest little French bakery. Then I was off to a stop at LUSH which was a must!
This tea made me wish i was in France tonight! I never give fruit teas a chance. At least not hot brews. I usually cold steep them. This was delicious though!
Definitely taste the blood orange and the rose who would have known it would be a great pair. These French tea makers are genius! Genius I tell you!

This reminds me of a tea I had recently! hmmmm cant pin point it. This is my first time trying this, it was a part of myHUGE BUTIKI BF oder, that I am slowly but surely making my way through.
I see what the ranting and raving is about this one. The honey notes are what I first spotted in my cup. I do taste that burnt sugar aspect of caramel. Bread notes show themselves in the end. Overall this was a great cup to warm me up after work. Its been freezing and non stop raining all day. I love this weather!!

I’m on a roll with these French tea lately! This one came to me from MissB a while back. One of my couple lovely surprise boxes from her. So generous so many if my steepster friends are! Anyways. This tea.
Yet another geniusely made tea tea from Fauchon!
First sip is pure bliss and vanilla.
After note of lavender on the tongue and then citrus!
Great base teas! Whatever Fauchon uses as their base is heavenly!!!
Another great cup!

Oh my gosh!!!!! Is anyone still going to order from Fauchon on the Vente-Privee sale? If so can you please add the tin of this for me please?!!! I’ll pay you the $12! I already placed my order yesterday and totally forgot I had a sample of this and I fell in love with it today when I had it after work! Pretty pretty please?!?! Of rather not have to pay for shipping twice and play 2 different orders.

Anyways this tea is delicious! This was another glorious tea from my great box box of Dexter tea! This reminds me of the very first loose leaf I ever tried that I keep near and dear to my heart and always restock it no matter what! My glorious Victorian vanilla from a farmers market business back home.

This is a great balance of rose and vanilla and u get that citrus after note!
I really hope I can get my hands on this before it is too late!

After reading Stephanie ’s note and many other that have popped up over the past week or so I went diving into my Great Big Dexter Package! Wahlah! I knew it was in here somewhere!

Anyways… Back in track about this tea. So reading the company’s description down below all I got was almond. As it steeped I was wondering if this was the same tea because I smelled some floral essence, jasmine? Rose? Lavender? Whatever it was it smelled delicious with that creamy and Lamont nuttiness this tea also have off! Wowzah! First sip I almost died and flew to heaven! Nuttiness, floral and CREAMY? ALL IN ONE CUP? Wow! I’m moving to wherever these tea are made and building a chic apartment right next door!

Come to me oh so heavenly and delicious tea that I cannot afford but love so much! Guilty pleasure of mine!

My first thought when I opened this…“Holy cow these pearls are ginormous!”

So pretty though! Mixture of black & gold.

I love watching pearl tea steep! It’s almost like blooming flowers ha ha.
Anyways, this was another tea from my BF order. And I have not been disappointed me yet! Leaving me in awe with every tea I try.

At first when the package said to steep it up to 10 mins I thought there is no wayyyyyyy!
But yup! On my third steep I took it there! Yup! 10 mins!

That’s crazy! How is that possible?!

Anyways this tea was scrumptious! Malty! Sweet! Chocolatey!
I will have to savor my last little pack of this! let’s just say when my stash is all cleared out I will definitely be reordering from them! I’m really loving all these malty chocolatey teas lately perfect for upcoming valentines day! I want a valentine tea :( a steepster valentine!

Look at these beauties:

Oh the love I have acquired for these French teas! and all thanks to MissB and Dexter3567 for sharing a million different companies and teas just because they wanted to! :) steepster friends are generous it’s crazy! We steepsters are collectors of tea. Usually collectors don’t usually share their collections and that is why I love steepster! We are u like usual collectors.

Anyways… This lovely came from Dex and oh man! Boston blend from H&S… By far this one beats it out! How do these French companies do it?! Perfection all bundled up in each tea! How does a girl get a job there? One can dream…

For breakfast I had some chocolate chunk hazelnut biscotti granola cereal and I remembered I had some French tea that resembled this from my box from Dex I just had no idea which kne so I went through them all looking at them trying to narrow them down by smell and look before I looked them all up trying to find this gem!

Anyways… Back to the tea! This is decadent, luxurious, indulgent, grand, sinister almost. It’s too good to be true. Creamy, nutty, citrusy, and a touch of floral. A perfect balance of all of these fine ingredients! I do recommend sugar and a touch of milk to make this tea all that more sinful!

This tea has such an innocence to it that you feel guilty drinking it.
If you didn’t know better, you wouldn’t guess this was tea.

Anyways, I wish I could but this. The tins they come in are so quaint and would look amazing on my tea cart.

Delicious!

Oh my heavenly tea gods!!! This jasmine! Where do I start?!?! I got this with my BF teavivre order, I meant to buy the peach jasmine pearls but added these to my cart on accident instead. And oh my goodness am I ever so glad I did!!!
I drank this as I got caught up with last weeks Downton Abbey episode.
These Jasmine Pearls are so dainty and beautiful! So delicate but so perfect! This tea is so smooth, it literally melts in your mouth! How is this possible. This my friends… THIS Jasmine tea is by far the most outstanding Jasmines out there! I am at a loss for words. It is so succulent and so delicate! How?! How?! I am so so so so so so glad I accidentally bought this one and quite a bit of it too!! Wow! Just wow!
