mmmmmmm I haven’t had this in a while so i sunck some from my friends stash since she’s given me the go ahead to start drinking it since she doesn’t anticipate getting to it before it goes bad. I’ve forgotten how sweet this one is. It’s still delicious and wonderful but man it’s sweet lol.

drank Honeybush Haze by Amoda Tea
15350 tasting notes

Sip down! Put your mind to something and you can do it! Managed to get myself to under 160 this weekend so now I just have to aim for 9 more before Saturday :) I think I can I think I can! Hahaha even if I don’t manage I’m still pretty proud of myself for getting it this low after how high it was when I got back from china. And! For the most part I haven’t made too many orders in march, which was also a mini goal of mine.

Anyway this was a really interesting blend to have and it was nice to try out the Amoda tea box. I may just need to pick it up again now that my cupboard is a little more manageable.

drank Golden Fleece by Verdant Tea
15350 tasting notes

SIPDOWN! 161!

While this has been an enjoyable tea, i don’t think (insert type of tea) are my thing. or at least this tea isn’t. it’s nice enough but nothing that screams OMG!

Whispering Pines Tea Company

Dian hongs you mean? :) This one is incredible if brewed gungfu style, but I prefer a lot of other dian hongs over Golden Fleece as an all-around tea.

drank Yu Lu Yan Cha Black by Verdant Tea
15350 tasting notes

SIPDOWN! I’ve been drinking this throughout the day in between my other cups of tea. I’m sad to see it go but happy to be one tea closer to getting to 150 haha. I would pick this up again in a heartbeat. It’s not a tea i would drink every day but it’s a really nice black tea that has honey, sweet notes in it. It’s not a bold, tall, dark and steamy black but it is wonderful and a treat to drink!

Apparently i am rocking the tea today! Another tea tried, though I had apparently had it before with little recollection. A tasty enough tea but i don’t quite get the strawberry that they mention.

drank Chiran Sencha by O5 Tea
15350 tasting notes

I was pretty sure this would not be a tea for me but it’s not a bad little tea. It’s not something i’ll ever re-stock but I for sure can drink this down. It’s very green…and tastes like eating spinach. There’s a mouthiness to this that i can’t quite describe.

Stephanie

Sencha is great. Never had this particular one though :)

Sil

it was in my amoda tea box from one of the previous months lol

drank Dong Ding Mr.Chang by Camellia Sinensis

Kittenna

If this is from the Amoda box, I’d love to grab some. :)

Sil

drank Sechong Oolong by Nature's Tea Leaf
15350 tasting notes

Alright…it’s oonlong afternoon for a little bit so that I can get through a few of the teas that i really need to at least try. Thanks again to Nature’s Tea leaf for this sample! I picked this one, not because I love oolongs (as most of you know by now, i dislike strongly) but because i figure someday i’ll find some amazing oolongs that rock my socks.

This tea? It’s not half bad for an oolong. It doesn’t have that overly vegetal taste that i can’t handle in oolongs, nor does the smell permeate my nose. Instead this is a bit darker, while not quite being a truly dark oolong. There is a sweetness, but it’s not overly strong. Overall a pretty decent oolong (high praise from me!)

drank Maple Pecan Oolong by Butiki Teas
15350 tasting notes

mmmmm i really do love this tea. It’s maple, it’s pecan, it’s delicious! Very nearly at the bottom of my bag of this..yes it’s just a coincidence that stacy’s having a sale involving one of my fav straight blacks! I have a crazy amount of butiki teas in my house lol. I need to get drinking some of them asap! Anyway this tea? Still one of my happy teas from stacy. It may take a break from my cupboard over the summer but we’ll see. it’s pretty delicious…even as an oolong! :)

Ysaurella

yes this tea is just incredibly good !

Donna A

I remember liking Maple Pecan Oolong. Today, I’m sipping Pumpkin Creme Brulee,another Butiki tea, and don’t have much left. I may have to get some more even with summer coming cause I love it!

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling as well!

Most of that is on hold these days though, including tea drinking like I used to as I have a new little one who eats up all my spare time.
