From the Tea and cards TTB: I have found my favourite vanilla tea. This tea tastes exactly like McDonald’s vanilla ice cream and I want to drink it every minute of every day. MAJOR YUM!

I made a super concentrate from this and poured it over vanilla almond milk and ice cubes, added a bit of raw sugar, and the end result is something that tastes like a very strong white russian. Interesting. Not at all what I expected, but I was pleasantly surprised :)

Sounds so fancy! :-)

Mixed with some vanilla almond milk and a few ice cubes, this was delightful! The almond flavour really works, although I wish I could taste the matcha more. Yumm-ay.

I’ve been craving licorice, or a licorice tea, and I’m so happy I found this one in the Tea and cards TTB. It’s exactly what I needed, and it has a beautiful natural sweetness that I very much appreciate. The spice level is just right as well.

drank Pumpkin Chai by DAVIDsTEA

I enjoyed this tea so much! I love pumpkin anything, and I’m very forgiving of it when it is not up to par, but I didn’t have to forgive anything with this chai! With a bit of brown sugar, this is so similar to pumpkin pie, it’s almost impressive. This is the first time I can truly say the crust element is very obvious and does not need to be interpreted. Success.

So we meet again Caramel Vanilla Assam. I found this in the Tea and Cards TTB, and my first thought was “You! You’re coming with me! We’re going to figure this out once and for all!” Last time I had this, it was a sample and I was very disappointed, but it has such great reviews…I knew it was me.

Even in the aroma, I can tell it will be different this time. There is lovely caramel notes floating around and I’m already super pumped. Taste wise, the caramel is much more prominent than the vanilla and I LOVE that I can fully taste the base. This is a success! Nooow I get iiiiiitttt haha :) Very very yummy!

drank Ruby Pie by Butiki Teas

Every time I open the bag, I want to shove whatever’s in there in my mouth and eat it. I steeped it for 5 minutes after seeing someone else’s comment that it brought out the flavours and YES, it’s true! Revelation!

drank Paris by Harney & Sons

I’ve been on a major flavoured tea bender this week and this has been a trustworthy companion. When I’m trying to save some WP’s Golden Orchid, I drink this and it almost makes me forget about the other one for a bit.

I’m almost out of Golden Orchid. And that’s just very upsetting. This is my daily “cheer myself up when I miss my baby too much” tea. I feel like I’m having something I shouldn’t have when I drink this. It’s so rich and lovely. I’m going to miss you when you’re gone but we’ll be so happy when we are reunited my little tea!

This one has also REALLY grown on me. I can’t get enough of the nuttiness combined with the green tea base. Soooooooooo ggoooooooddddddddd.

How do you prepare this?

Virginia

1.5 tsp in 8 oz of 180 degree water, with a bit of rock sugar and milk :)

It’s really not the same without sugar or milk

christeana1

Thanks! I will have to try it with milk and sugar. The first time I made this it tasted soooo bland I figured I must be doing something wrong.

ohfancythat

It’s a delicately delicious tea!

christeana1

@what she said…how do you prepare?

ohfancythat

About the same, I follow Butiki’s directions and don’t add any milk or sugar!

Profile

Bio

I was introduced to the world of tea after trying to find a way to stop binging on sugar at night (I have a bit of insomnia). Then I had the brilliant idea of going to David’s Tea to get some sweet dessert-y teas to replace all the crap I was eating, whilst still satisfying my sweet tooth.

And then I tried an Oolong and I was done for.

So this is me, exploring the world of tea with excitement, spending way too much money on it, drinking impressive amounts of it, and although I do love flavoured teas, I am now beginning to try high quality straight teas, and trying to learn as much as I can. I have rarely been so passionate about something so quickly.

My boyfriend thinks I am crazy with all my teas. I actually hide some from him when I get deliveries, just so he won’t panic haha. When he does say something, I just reply that to me, tasting tea is like tasting wine, and it brings me the same kind of joy as eating chocolate or eating fine food. Only better.

Flavours I Like: Most fruits, Cinnamon, Licorice, Cloves, Pepper, Caramel, Vanilla, Chocolate, Cardamom, Floral Teas, Honey, Coffee, Pastry/Bread, Smoky, Woody

Flavours I dislike: strong vegetal tastes (a little is ok), Rooibos, Mate, Lemon, Raspberry (for the most part), Orange, Lavender, Eucalyptus, Overpowering Mint,

Other than that, un-related to tea, I love make-up artistry, parrots and birds (in real life, not objects lol), crime and trial stories, flowers, baking, wine, reading, collecting teapots and mugs and stand-up comedy.

I love Dexter, Orange is the New Black, Hannibal, all reality food and cooking series…

As I’m re-reading this I can’t help but to notice how I love extra dark things and extra happy things with no real middle. Hm. xD “I like staying up to date on murder trials…and drinking tea while bird watching!” I’m NOT weird, I swear. :)
