From the Here’s Hoping Traveling Tea Box #2

Backlogging form yesterday.

Yesterday my friends and I were going to celebrate my birthday (my birthday was in March, but yesterday was the first time all seven of us could get together), but instead we received a shock when one of my friends went into labor three weeks early. We postponed my birthday and worked on finishing up the baby’s nursery and knocking a few items off the new mom’s to-do list. It was a fun day that culminated in my friend having her first baby (a girl!) and everyone being healthy and happy. As days go, this one was pretty awesome.

With my awesome day I drank this awesome tea. There was only one serving left in the box, but I steeped and resteeped it so many times. It was delicious. Wonderfully malty with lots of chocolate and sweetness. For a few of the steeps (I don’t remember which ones) there was also some spice right at the end of the sip. I know I steeped the leaves at least five times – probably a few more – and every cup was great. Definitely one of my favorite teas from the tea box so far.

Tea obsessed since 2010.

My Rating System:

100-95 = Teas I actively seek out and keep in my pantry. If you are a guest in my home chances are I will offer you one or all of these teas. Also, if/when these teas are discontinued I openly mourn their loss.

94-85 = Teas I truly like, often have in my pantry, and sometimes restock. These are my variety-is-the-spice-of-life teas.

84-75 = They’re good teas and I enjoy drinking them on occasion.

74-65 = These teas are ok, but not really my thing.

64-55 = meh.

54-45 = I will if I have no other option.

44 and below = Coffee, please.
