467 tasting notes

Oh, what a lucky girl am I!!! I got a Breville for Christmas! I really enjoy it. I thought I wouldn’t like 500 ml minimum. I got used to that very quickly since it has a keep warm feature. Since I received the Breville and got a bunch of new teas for Christmas… I have been drinking a ton of tea. Okay, yes, I am going to the bathroom a lot. I enjoy the auto feature. It is great way to start the day.

I just have to add some more about the Breville! Oh my gosh I love it. I’ve had it about a month and every time I use it i"m in love with it all over again. It is so convenient . I haven’t had a single over steeped or under steeped tea since I got it. When I’ve mentioned the Breville to others and apologize for the price, I’ve had many say that they have spent more than $300 on a cappuccino machine so $250 isn’t really that unreasonable. By the way, my husband only spent $190 using a Black Fridays coupon at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

I just have to say, Buy one, buy one now. For beginners it would really take the guess work out of steeping with a great cup every time For experienced tea people it will just add to the joy :D

Retired first grade teacher. I tend to like dessert type/herbal teas as a substitute for sweet treats; flavored black teas and mates to get that energy that I am often lacking ;-p
My husband of 43 years thinks I’m nuts regarding the whole tea thing… but he bought me a Breville for Christmas, so what can I say. :-D
My other interests are reading (books go well with tea :D) and beading. I volunteer at my “old” school teaching reading and I volunteer for the blind. I am trying hard to lose weight ( I have now lost 40 lbs and I’m looking good in my skinny jeans, IMHO) I am now walking about 4.5 miles a day and I am trying to do some core work for about 30 min. 3x a week.

I have been watching Doctor Who for 33years. In case you can’t tell my avatar is two daleks drinking tea! I am always open to swapping Doctor Who books for tea. I have about 120 Doctor Who books that I am eager to send some to a fan. :D Let me know if you would like any books! I love that so many people have begun watching DW!

Also I love swaps, pm me if you’d like to do a swap.

Since I find others’ rating legends helpful, I added my own.

95-100 A once in a lifetime experience; the best there is; will keep this stocked until the cows come home

90-94 First rate; top notch; really terrific; will definitely buy more

80-89 Excellent; likely to become a favorite, will likely buy more

70-79 Very good; would enjoy again, might buy again if in the mood for this particular one or a better, similar version not available or it’s on a really good sale :-)

50-69 Good; wouldn’t pass up if offered, but probably wouldn’t buy again unless craving this particular flavor

Below 50 Meh! Wouldn’t bother drinking it again.
