I am possibly the WORST person ever right now. I’m super backlogged on notes, half the stuff I’ve sipped down I never wrote notes on (but enjoyed very much), and what I do have I’ve lost the page I wrote down who gave me what to try, and UGH! Life. It hates me right now! I think this came from Fjellrev ?
Anyways, this is my first B and B tea as far as I can recall. Sorry if anyone has sent me others, I either still have them hidden in my “to try” box, or I had them and failed to write a note. As I said, I currently suck super bad right now.
I’m currently in full-blown breakdown mode, smack dab in the middle of the worst anxiety/depression bout I’ve had in YEARS. It’s to the point where I’m so stuck in my own head and all these really intense feelings and such that I haven’t been able to get out enough to walk from one side of my room to choose a tea, to the other side to make a cuppa.
I was finally convinced (well, threatened-with-violence-if-I-didn’t-finally-make-a-cuppa) to make a cup, and blindly grabbed this one. Not sure what to expect, but it smelled lovely in the baggie – crisp and sweet.
Steeped, the liquor is a pale green, and smells almost creamy. I want to compare it to honeysuckle, but that’s not quite right. Close though.
It tastes almost like it smells. There’s a crisp freshness, without being overly grassy or vegetal, combined with a sweet fruitiness that I can’t really pinpoint. It’s really lovely, nice and light, a bit like a sunny romp through a grassy field, all in a teacup.
I’m glad I have plenty left to enjoy later, when I’m a bit less, umm, emotional? because I can see this being a tea I’d like to keep on hand. It was definitely a glimmer of sunshine at the end of an absolutely horrificaly stormy day, so thank you Fjellrev for the generous sample!

And fellow Heffalumps, Woozles, and Faction friends – this was kind of my way of saying “i’m alright”. I’ll be back once this blackness blows over and I can handle large numbers of people again.
Mwahahahaha sil teas make the rounds! Remember mister….we’re here if you need anything. Don’t make me pounce on you!
This one seemed like a “originated in Sil-land” tea. Glad you shared enough with Fjellrev that she could share it with me. Was definitely what I needed today (just ask Indogobloom, bless her patient heart O.o).
Just remember… we’re all here for whatever you need. Even if it’s just a smile. I mean, i’m good at supplying random bouts of insanity if you need it. ;) just think about my rubber boots….
ooor…. “matcha matcha maaaaan…i’ve got to be, a matcha man!”
Yes, that matcha of yours has been the only thing to get me out of bed, into clothes that I could wear out of the house and not get arrested for wearing, and out to do what I need to do every day. Toss it in a shaker bottle with some almond milk and I can actually sort of almost function (and make it most of the way home before I crash again, woo!), so THANK YOU!!!!
