Dear Steam. Get an online store. Thank you.

Another cup from last night, and at this point i need to bump the rating up because dear lord, if you steep this a long time…its amazing…especially when paired with a strawberry daiquiri (or two….)

my pouch is getting low….stupid lack of online store! bah!

Final Count: 189 [119 in my fake cupboard]

OMGsrsly

Will 50g do you?

Sil

The way I drink things…maaaaybe. Lol but we need to come up with a way for me to reciprocate or send all my money to you :) I should have bought more when I was there, bought it would be enough but forgot about sharing with cavo lol

OMGsrsly

LOL. Want me to grab you 100g? I’m heading there in a bit…

thank you roswell strange this was one of my teas last night, sitting on the balcony chatting with the first of our friends who came over. Sadly, the larger group didn’t leave until almost 2am so i can recall absolutely nothing about this tea except that i downed it and kept looking for me, so i’ll take that as a win haha sooooo appreciate the share Roswell lol wish i had a better note for it, but i DID really like it

drank Steamed Purple Green by Butiki Teas
15006 tasting notes

mmmmm sooo i’m still enjoying this one. Stacy always finds interesting green teas for the non green tea lover in me. This likely won’t be a restock as i don’t have room for many greens in my cupboard (think…2? maybe? if that) but it may make repeat appearances in future for fun :)

Courtney

I’m the same with greens. I’m at my all-time high with 3 in the cupboard hah!

Sil

i have a few more than 3 but only 2? actual purchases of SMALL quantities…the other couple are samples from ppl

Angel was incredible enough to send me a sample of this for me to try. This might be one of the most unique teas that i’ve had recently. I love the way these leaves look. They’re like flat pressed seaweed or something. You can even see the lines of the leaves. it’s just really neat to look at. drinking this, it’s also a unique taste. I don’t get the same vegetal taste from a lot of greens. Instead this has a sweetness to it. It’s fresh and really nice, but i can’t place my finger on the taste. i still prefer the dragonwell from teavivre, but this is a really neat tea to have tried. I feel like this would be a good tea for anyone who really like greens.

TheTeaFairy

Neat! (And no, I won’t say what you think I will…very tempting though, cause ya know…you do keep raving about green tea lately, and well for someone who says they don’t want to come and play to the G….. S…)

Sil

no no no no no!

Another one from the BBB Box and one that has been good to me. I’m passing the last bit on to Cavo who is about to have her own TTC journey :) Thanks a bunch to TastyBrew for sharing this one with me since it’s one htat i hadn’t seen/tried yet so it was nice to try something new.

ohfancythat

Would you recommend TTC teas?

apt

TTC is top notch.

Sil

If you like the fruity sort of blacks then you’ll like their black teas. Theaged blacks are a little uh…different. I haven’t tried their greens but I’m not overly a fan of their oolongs but that’s ME, not the teas. What I do like about them is that you can pick up 25g samples and if you spend 25 in sample sizes, shipping is free….so yay for small samples AND free shipping. Their service is great :)

ohfancythat

Oh awesome, thanks for the tips! :)

drank Brasiliano by Tea Desire
15006 tasting notes

so. Mate and i, we don’t get along…..usually. In this instance, this tea makes it work. It’s not going to be my favourite tea but this was pretty enjoyable. It’s got a good taste that blends well with the mate without leaving that taste in my mouth that i dislike strongly.
Thanks for letting me try this one Roswell Strange

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.
