Really quick note to make sure i don’t forget about this one. I’m trying to make sure i track what/when i’m drinking things so that when i finally figure out what teas will become staple in my cupboard it’ll be easier.

The mornings are a lot cooler here now, I almost have to wear a jacket in to work. however, trying hard not to do that because by the time i’m going home, its an exercising in having more crap to carry.

But for the cooler mornings, this chai is a wonderful way to start out. Warm, toasty, spicy drink to go with the cool morning.

mmmm so this tea… this tea makes up for my sad story with strawberry zabaglione :) in fact.. we were making chili and hamburgers in the kitchen and i opened the tea up…it cut through ALL of the smells and the other half who was in the other room holloared “woah..blueberry”

So that gives you a sense of the smell :) The taste is wonderful…it’s like a mouthful of blueberry goodness.

This is a really weak tea, but it’s not bad. There was no bitterness in my steep which was nice. Overall it was a subtle malty, creamy kinda of tea.

Mmmmmm this is much more caramel and cheesecake than the apricot cheesecake blend I previously picked up from frank. The smalle when you open the bag is amazing….caramel and cheesecakes goodness. Upon brewing the tea, there’s a slight bitterness that I’m not a fan of. I added some rock sugar to this and it turned into an amazing cheesecakes caramel delicious creamy tea of wonder.

I Feel like this would be a pretty good blend for those who enjoy dates. Frank has done a great job here of blending the flavours. This isn’t my favourite but I’m happy to cross another 52 tea off my list.

mmm this IS a delicious tea! I, like Indigobloom, am not a huge fan of vanilla. This however, is a wonderful blend of creamy goodness. I can see where some would say that it tastes like toblerone. This is for sure a tea i’d keep in my cupboard for when i’m craving a creamy delicious bit of wonder. Also, what’s wodnerful is that I can buy it here in toronto! mmmm thank you indigobloom!

This is a lovely tea. I’m 99% sure it’s from indigobloom since only her tasting notes are here on steepster :) I’ve got about another 10 samples left from her and kittena plus another 5 or so from azzrian and then i’ll be down to pretty much just my tea. BUT on the plus side, that means i’ll be good to start paring down my cupboard and ordering new teas! haha!

But anyway, on with this tea. This is a really nice strawberry tea. I really enjoy black teas so it’s nice to see the strawberry paired with this instead of a green tea :) I’d give this one another shot for sure!

So what’s really strange about this brew? All i can taste is cinnamon…but i’m pretty sure that there isn’t any in this, so go figure. Maybe my taste budes got confused. Not a fan of this one as a result but it might be worth another shot just to see if it stops tasting like cinnamon haha

I’m going to have to agree with Azzrian on this one. I wanted to try this as another oonlong to see if there is that consitent taste across oolongs that I’m not a fan of. it’s there in this oolong as well, so i suspect either I’m steeping most oolongs incorrectly OR, I’m just not a fan of oolongs :)

Another sample from Indigobloom?. While this is a really lovely tea, I’m wondering if oolongs just aren’t my thing. I’m not getting the citrus notes in this one but I can taste the jasmine. the color is beautiful ( I’m so glad I bought the bodum glasses for drinking tea with at home) and its a nice relaxing cup of tea. I just don’t think I’d purchase it, but that’s more to do with oolongs than this being a bad tea.
