drank Eve by Nina's Paris

Christiana sent me a really generous sample of this tea in our swap a couple weeks ago! Wasn’t sure I’d like it much, but I was pleasantly surprised!
It tastes similar to H&S’s White Peach. It’s like biting into a fresh, juicy peach. It’s pretty good! Even mixed with the Apricot flavor it’s still good.
Think that’s what makes it not taste like Adagio’s Peach Tea, which just tastes like burnt peaches to me. xD
Glad I got to try this one. Thank you so much, Christina! :D

Apparently I’m the first one to review this tea! I got this one as a sample with my last Georgia Tea Company order. Figured I’d try it since I do like some fruity teas once in a while.
The leaves looked a whole lot like Teavana’s Youthberry tea, which made it more appealing to me, since that is one of Teavana’s better teas.
This one definitely tastes like Papaya and apple…Well, mostly apple actually. xD
Which I’m not a fan of at all! Apple teas and me DON’T mix! Just like orange teas and me DON’T mix. Just…no.
And I had had more expectations for this one! It smelled really good, and not like apples at all. So yeah….
Honestly, you guys….As much as it’s kinda “taboo” to like Teavana here, they really do make some of the best fruity teas. I have tried lots of other fruity teas from other tea places, but Teavana really does well with some of their fruity teas. Think Lupicia and Teavana make the best fruity teas. Least that I’ve discovered so far. That’s all….you guys can shoot me now xD

Flavors: Apple, Fruity

I really enjoyed Youthberry and my fiance is currently obsessed with Blackberry Mojito. I think you have to look for them, but they do have some solid fruity blends that are very enjoyable. :-)

boychik

You are brave :D

TeaBrat

I’m not opposed to Teavana but I tried a few of their blends and wasn’t that impressed with what I got for the $$

Anlina

Teavana is very hit or miss for me, but when they get it right, they really get it right. I am seriously in love with Dragonfruit Devotion and Six Summits Oolong.

albertocanfly

Apple and papaya sounds good!! :P I didn’t know that apple and orange fell in the same category with you! :O This should be on your “Notes I hate” list so I can better determine things to send you!:P teheh.

Ost

It should be in my notes! XD Thanks for the reminder, Albertocanfly! XD And guess what tea I’m sending your way now hahah

drank Da Yu Ling Oolong by Butiki Teas
737 tasting notes

This was another one from Stephanie!
I really do love Da Yu Ling Oolongs…the creamy texture and strong floral flavor hooks me every time! And this one is definitely an excellent one! :D
It’s full and creamy in texture, which would make me feel sick on it’s own, but the floralness outweighs it. This, my friends, is one freakin’ good tea!
Thanks so much for the sample,Stephanie!! :D :D

Flavors: Cream, Floral, Perfume, Thick

SarsyPie

Love Da Yu Lings!!!!!

Ost

If you know of any really good ones, let me know, Sarsonator! I’m on the quest to find the best kind!!

So glad that I have some really good teas that won’t make me super awake when I want to relax. This one is perfect for today (:

Another one from Stephanie that I’ve been DYING to try!!
This one is a lot less strong and perfume-y than I assumed it would be. But it was still good! Tasted a lot of lemon at first, but then the perfume-y-ness took over. Which was what I was looking forward to most!
The coconut was pretty strong too in this one. Another lovely Tea from Butiki Teas! :D Thanks for the generous sample, Stephanie! Will enjoy trying this a few more times!

Flavors: Coconut, Lemon, Perfume

drank Irish Cream Cheesecake by Butiki Teas
737 tasting notes

Got a sample of this from Stephanie! :D
Don’t think that there was enough for the “correct” steeping amount, So I’m not sure how accurate this note is gonna be.
This one was a bit disappointing though.
It smelled and tasted a bit malty, but that was about it. There wasn’t much flavor to it. It was creamy and kinda malty.
That’s really all I got. :S
Definitely not one of the best Butiki Teas I’ve tried, but not the worse. It’s okay. Glad I got to try it!

Stephanie

It is discontinued anyway. Sorry there wasn’t much left!

Ost

That’s okay! I just wanted to try a bit anyway (: Thanks again! :D

Tea Pet

I get so sad when I see that people don’t like this tea… :( I love this one! Maybe I’m just a weirdo XP

Stephanie

I loved it too, TeaPet!

drank Laoshan Genmaicha by Verdant Tea
737 tasting notes

Been craving this one for a while…but it’s always night when I want it, so I always gotta hold off. But NOT TODAY!
This is the relaxing kind of tea I needed today. Probably one of the best genmaichas I’ve tried. So creamy and nutty. Ugh it’s just so good!
Bumping the rating!

SarsyPie

I’ve been neglecting genmaichas in my fevered puerh pursuits. LOL But I should bust some out. It was one of my very first favorite styles.

This sure sounds like a good one!

Cameron B.

Sarsy – it’s the same as Lady Gaga but without the vanilla and juniper. Very tasty!

SarsyPie

Really Cambot? Maybe I will try Gaga again. She didn’t wow me, but it’s worth another try, I suppose!

Cameron B.

I am the proud owner of 4 ounces of Gaga. :D

Clearly it’s not my night. xD After the DTT, it all seemed to go downhill. xD
This one is definitely not for me either. Though better than the last one, this one is super strong too.
The main taste for me is leather. What makes it better than the last one is that it also tastes like sweet potatoes. xD Kinda a weird combo. But the sweet potatoes make it a lot more drinkable for me.
This one wasn’t the worst, but not my favorite either.
Glad I tried it…but still don’t get the hype. This one isn’t for me! XD

Flavors: Leather, Sweet Potatoes

Marzipan

I steep this one for two minutes.

Wow. This tea.
I don’t really know what to think.
I taste leather. Earth. And something else that’s really strong…I’m not sure I like this one too much…
It’s just really strong, almost too strong for me. Ehh, think I will pass.

drank Granny's Cake by RiverTea
737 tasting notes

Was hoping that this one would be more cake-y. But it just tastes like a cinnamon tea. :S A mild cinnamon tea, which makes it more drinkable for me.
But…I had expected more. :/
Well, now I know at least.
Thanks for the sample, Christina! :D

Flavors: Cinnamon, Spices

Fjellrev

Oh, that’s too bad. The description makes it seem to promising.

Ost

a lot of people seem to get more than just cinnamon. But that’s all I get! Maybe you will get more than that!

Profile

Bio

I’m not too sharp with intros, but I figured it is about time to give it a go.
I started out drinking oolong and green tea that my dad brought home from his China business trips.
Then I discovered Teavana, and fell in love with some of their teas. Eventually I stumbled across Steepster, and a whole ‘nother world opened up.
Have discovered so many different kinds of teas, and have been loving this journey! The tea world is insanely big and amazing! And I’ve met some of the kindest people here who have broadened my horizons in more ways I could have imagined! Happy to be here, and to be drinking so many amazing teas! :D

My rating system:
1-59: Really really not a fan. An awful cup of tea for me…Totally undrinkable.

60-69: Not horrible, but not something I’d ever drink again willingly.

70-79: Pretty good. Wouldn’t mind drinking ever so often. But not a keeper.

80-100: FREAKIN’ AMAZING. Always keeping on stock in my home!!

I like pretty much any kind of tea except green tea. Unless it’s genmaicha or strongly flavored, I don’t like it usually.

My Tea Goals:
To find the Best Caramel Tea
To find the Best Vanilla Tea
To find the Best floral Oolong
To find the Best Malty Assam Tea
To find the Best Maple/Syrup Tea

Notes I like: Fruit(primarily peach, melon/honeydew, Banana, Kiwi, but I’m open to other kinds), Malt, Desserts (Toffee, Cake, Cookie,etc), Vanilla, Caramel, Floral, Sweet potato, Pastry/Bread,Jasmine, Honey, Cocoa, Chocolate, Maple, Nutty, Coconut, Almond.

Notes I’m Picky with: Lemon, Chai, Roasted, Blueberries, Hibiscus, Smoke, Earthiness, Puerhs, White Teas, and Cinnamon

Notes I hate: Citrus/Orange (Everything that I hate in this life that I have to take for my health is orange flavored, and it just makes me gag…so please…just no), Watermelon, Raspberry, Wood, Apple, Bacon, Lavender, Most mints, Pepper, Spicy, Tart/sour.

Yes, I am a picky tea drinker, but I’ll usually try any straight black or oolong tea that I receive. I like most oolongs, and I’m still discovering straight blacks. They always seem to surprise me no matter what!

And Swaps! I’m always down for swapping. Everything in my cupboard is swap-able. So just hit me up and send a message and we can totally do that!

On an unrelated to tea note, my other interests are limited due to health issues. But when I can, I enjoy reading and writing. Watching Netflix and YouTube have also been fantastic when I feel awful (which is most of the time).
I love Rifftrax, Rooster Teeth, Dexter, Hannibal, BBC’s Robin Hood, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Psych, and Parks and Rec.
Love watching all sorts of movies too, but that would be too much to list. :P
I’m definitely more of an internet person and love talking to people on every website I’m on. So if you ever wanna chat, shoot me a message! ^^
