15779 Tasting Notes

77

It’s been a while since i’ve had this one and it’s a wonderful afternoon tea for this rainy day. It’s been dark outside here at work since about 11am so it’s felt like time to go home since then. It’s the kind of day where all i want is to curl up on the couch at home in my comfy clothes, watch a movie after dinner (of roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn on the cob) with a steaming cup of delicious wonderful tea….

I’m so sad since I’m almost out of this tea. I placed a recent order with Verdant but forgot to include another order of this tea. I’ll have to wait until I get back from vacation. I am just blown away by the many facets that one non flavoured tea can have.

So I promise there will be some NEW teas that I log on the weekend. This week has just been a bit crazy and all i’ve had time for this week is my smoothy when I wake up (and sometimes in the evening) and then my one little tumbler of black tea. If we had a tea place around the office that wasn’t timothy’s/timmy’s/second cup or startbucks maybe there would be some other variation. Ugh, but it’s not to be yet.

Today was a simple Caramel Banana smoothie and man was it tasty. I added a bit more matcha than normal to try and help kickstart my morning a bit. Not sure if it helped any but it was delicious! Now i’m trying to decide if i order more caramel while it’s on sale or hold off for more new flavours first heh.

ashmanra

GAAAAAH! I wasn’t going to get any and you just HAD to tell me it is on sale!!! Oh, we’ll, I would have found out when I started obsessively stalking their site later in the day anyway. Ordering…

Sil

lol ash i’m happy to be helping to further the matcha addiction :)

Today’s tasting note is brought to you by the flavors caramel and mango! Yeah that’s right, another smoothie morning for me. I have to say i am a HUGE fan of matcha smoothies. The caramel is just the right blend of sweet delicious goodness that always combines so very well with the fruit that i add. The more i drink this, the more i’m looking forward to trying every flavour that red leaf has to offer!

Another repeat of yesterday! Trying to make a final decision on which two teas get to travel with me on my upcoming cruise lol.

Autistic Goblin

buy some good morning sunshine and take it with you!

Oolong Owl

only 2 teas? Choosing only 2 would be crazy talk for me! Last time I traveled I came with at least 8 teas, lol!

Terri HarpLady

Yeah, I’m with Awkward Soul. It would be really hard to narrow it down to just 2. Maybe just 2 blacks (maybe…), but I’d aso have to have other stuff.

Sil

Helena – oh just stop! LOL And i can’t place another butiki order until stacy gets my grapefruit tea up! Sheesh!

AS and TH – no no no you see i’m bringing two…and buying a bunch while i’m travelling haha I just need 2 to get me through the first two days before we hit san fran and i can buy new teas!

Indigobloom

Only 2?! no way. Noooo way lol

Terri HarpLady

OH, well, if you’re planning on buying more tea on the trip…

Indigobloom

oh wait… san fran, right! ok so that isn’t SO bad. Still, only 2… that is scary!

So another morning smoothie, this time to accompany my breakfast sandwich. The other half and i have found that in the morning it’s gotta be either Salsa eggs or breakfast sammiches (as he calls them) Whole grain english muffin, an egg, turkey bacon slice and a tiny slice of aged cheddar to bring it all together.

Add a caramel raspberry matcha smoothie to the mix and I am in heaven! mmmm

Sooo backlogging from yesterday as I also ended my day with a smoothie. This time, Caramel Peach banana grin I’m such a fan of matcha smoothies. Really need to get to trying my cheesecake and pear matcha heh

Amanda

caramel peach banana!?!?!?! do you deliver? :)

Sil

Amanda – It’s sooooo easy. Frozen fruit in the freezer means it takes me about 2 mins in the morning, especially if i have the blender set up before i go to bed.

Autistic Goblin

sounds really tasty!

Mmmmmm love this tea. Today it’s like a smoothy chaser lol While i love Stacy for her flavoured teas, this black is amazing! It’s the right balance of black with a creamy, sweet taste that leaves me looking for more every time I finish a cup.

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.
