15006 Tasting Notes

someone edited this tea in between me adding it and getting around to finally writing a review. Not sure what they did but it manage to break my ipad everyone i access it, so i had to come play on the big computer lol. this isn’t a bad darjeeling but it isn’t one that screams out to come be my new favourite. on the whole darjeelings mostly confuse me and taste strange. this one isn’t bad, but again, give me a solid cup of black any day!

boychik sent this one my way and i’m not yet sure how i feel about it. I think this is on the upside of tasty, though there’s a note there that i don’t like as much. i, sadly had this really early this morning and don’t recall much beyond that :) appreicate the share though boychik as it’s given me more to think about in terms of H&S blacks.

Mmmmmfinal cup of tea. Shouldn’t be drinking this one as it’s a more recent purchase but damnit I want the teas that I want today! Lol. I still love this one a lot – such a unique pairing of flavours that really work. So happy omgsrsly introduced this one to me.

Final count: 204 including River tea that came in today heh

OMGsrsly

Omg that is amazing. 204?! After incoming?

TeaLady441

Duuuuuude, that’s awesome! Seriously – 204 WITH Rivertea?

Sil

Yeah but the entire order hasn’t come in lol so just added what has…but it means maybe I can make it to 200 this weekend if I focus. I can’t believe it’s almost the end of June….my craptacular summer of work is about to start.

Mmmmm enjoying a cup of homie tonight before bed and Hannibal after a very productive day. Loving the new bedroom, a lot. Also, this is soon to be a sipdown, so yay!

Zephyr

I love Hannibal. Such a good show. :-)

drank Orange Blossom by Blue Teapot

pulling this one out of my cupboard again as well since i can’t seem to make it work. There is too much of a floral note in this one for me to really be able to enjoy it. oh well, some of the others from this company were nice…and i’m always up for xploring new teas and companies!

drank Orange Path by RiverTea
15006 tasting notes

after trying this a few times i’m now giving up on it. With a cupboard like mine, it’s hardly worth holding on to teas that don’t make you happy drinking them. This hsa turned in to mostly a puerh…there’s very little flavour now, which thankfully at least it’s a decent puerh, but when i’m looking for orange…that’s not worthy enough to keep it around. in to the swap box it goes!

this is another from missb and i do prefer this one over the other. the lemongrass and spearmint is particularly soothing this afternoon. Quite a nice cup for a bagged tea :)

missB sent this one my way and admittedly i figured these could be easy quick sipdowns while i made honey bran muffins :) It’s been a long day that’s not quite over but i am SUPER happy with how the house is starting to come together. I’m really liking the time we’re taking with everything…it’s just been fun.

This cup of tea? reminds me of cookies..or baking..or something, which i think is the result of the cloves in this one. Not a bad cup and for sure it’s an interesting one, so thanks for sharing missb!

mmmm sooo good to visit this one again in a non travel mug lol. I quite like this one, though it never tastes as wonderful when i bring it to work in a travel mug :) Oh well, there is still lots to enjoy :)

drank Thé au Chocolat by Lupicia
15006 tasting notes

sipdown! haha Since my riverteas are suspiciously missing from the box of tea they sent me, I might have a hope in heck of getting through the teas to make it to 200 by the end of the weekend…as long as i get some drink on this evening. I picked this one as i was in the mood for a good cup of chocolate deliciousness. Sad to see this one go, but at the same time, there are others i will restock before this one.

Marzipan

Still waiting for my order. :(

Terri HarpLady

What, did they send you an empty box?

Sil

3/11 teas in one box…soo missing a lot

Terri HarpLady

Wow! I wonder if they are sending the others in a separate box? Although I can’t imagine why anybody would do that

Sil

yeah now sure, sent them a message to find out. Hoping it’s just a hiccup.

TheTeaFairy

Sil, same thing happened to me around december…you will probably get a second box later. they had sent 2 boxes for 13 teas but only one box showed up with 5 teas inside. I also contacted them and they told me my order was too big and had shipped in two separate boxes(??) Took almost three weeks for the other one to show up! Since I am not a fan of their teas, I never reordered, so don’t know if they still ship this way, it’s a little weird.

Sil

ah good to know teafairy. it IS a little weird, but as long as they get here, i’m good. I don’t love their teas that ave tea in them but i am a fan of their fruit teas lol and since we’re heading in to summer i thought it would be nice to have a few more “juice” teas :)

Bio

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.
