the only other tea i brought with me tonight…and for some reason, it’s slightly sweet…almost like licorice root sweet..and it’s making me not happy….and grumpier than i already am. BAH!

Final Count: 141 (at least let’s just call this tasting note the cut off time…the night/day it’s all blending in to one blur…)

brought this one in with me today to testing overnight. It’s only midnight and i’m ready to pass out. 6-8 more hours to go…..oh goodie. Only good side is that i can take a cab home….but then of course i have to ethier have a really little nap..or try to just stay awake until the evening so that i’m not up all night tomorrow because i slept all day. good times. mostly this was just a tasty happy moment in my evening…. which is still sooo much more to go

Glad you had happy tea with you AND that they made you happy. :D Swinging your shifts around like that is totally lame.

sadly i only have 1 more sil sized cup of this… and my new harvest hasn’t shipped yet…and even after it does it’ll be 10 more days… at least i have LB genmaicha which is sort of similar..

drank Zhu Rong Yunnan Black by Verdant Tea
15049 tasting notes

Almost done my batch of this from December, though i’ve got more from January and another batch coming from the spring lol. This will likely not be a sipdown in the near future as a result. This was the last tea i managed before leaving the house, and i’m pretty sure it won’t be enough to keep me going. lol

You can do it, Sil!!

I drank this and something else before leaving the house….but i ..wait nm now i remember what it was lol. Testing is well underway so far but man, this is going to be a rough night. things are progressing slow, so there’s like 14-16 hours left of being in a cold-ish room, in the middle of nowhere, close to nothing else not much to drink/eat that is delicious. this tea gets more and more average the more i drink it. on the whole, i’m pretty much done with drinking it i think. just not a long term tea to have a around, but nice enough from time to time..

I am looking for a nice daily vanilla to replace one from a now defunct company but maybe this isn’t it. I like a daily vanilla to add some sweetness to the day

Sil

this isn’t sweet vanilla. this is a darker vanilla. check angrboda’s notes for vanilla teas :)

drank Dreamsicle Puerh by 52teas
15049 tasting notes

mmm today this is working well for me. I think it’s because the flavouring is down at the bottom of the bag. Still not overly a fan of 52 teas – i find that frank doesn’t seem to be consistent across his teas and batches.

drank Pumpkin Milkshake 2.0 by Butiki Teas
15049 tasting notes

almost out of this one. While i’m trying to get a few sipdowns in, i also have a lot of teas that are 3-4 cups away from a sipdown so i need time to actually drink and enjoy the teas a fefw more times before they can be sipdowns. Since i have a bunch of new stacy teas (squeeeee!) incoming, i’m trying to drink up a few of the others that i have in my cupboard, especially since they roll in to my 6 month goal for july haha. This isn’t my favourite, but it’s not bad. I think i prefer the pumpkin creme brulee over this one, but it’s still tasty!

drank Thé au Chocolat by Lupicia
15049 tasting notes

Another tea from this morning…bought myself a little time before having to head in for work, so i’m enjoying the ability to have a few more cups of good tea before i’m stuck with just my travel mugs and anything i can make between testing. :) i quite enjoy this one, though it’s not as delicious as my mousse au chocolat. but where that one is a blissfully delicious dark chocolate, this one is closer to a milk chocolate for me. :)

drank English Caramel by Lupicia
15049 tasting notes

Going to have to play with this one a little. It’s not a bad tea but it’s a little bitter and not as creamy caramel like that i want in a caramel tea. I’ll see what i can do though as i play with this a little more.

mmmm thanks for sharing this one with us Terri! I’m trying to kick my morning off right and get in a few delicious cups of tea before i’m stuck with trying to find a few mins tonight to brew up more. I’m onsite at work from 10am to 5am so i need my good tea vibes. While i’ve enjoyed this one a bunch, i’m not sure it’s something i need to keep in stock in my cupboard. there are a few other from YS that i’ve enjoyed a lot more via my tea sister. that being said, this is still a really enjoyable cup of tea!

drank Queen Anne Blend by Fortnum & Mason

farewell queen anne! Likely never to return to my cupboard since, while you’re a decent enough queen, you’re not amazing enough to reign for long in my cupboard :)

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.
