Nutty, and the lime is on the sweet mild side rather than on the tart side, like key lime pie with pistachios. I’m not too familiar with Yerba Mate, but it’s like a funny herbally sweet thing. Maybe a bit ‘off’ to my senses, but not too bad.
They don’t exaggerate the caffeine claims. I was bouncing off the walls.
I get easily excited and tend to get into the habit of collecting things I get really really excited about- books, fountain pens, fragrance, tea and any number of things. Mostly I’m just really excitable.
My favorites are oolongs! Also high for me are greens and ripe pu’erh. But I do like most teas and I’ll try most anything at least once. I just don’t like rooibos, smokey, or banana flavored things.
My name is Christina, but there’s also another Christina with a cat as a profile picture, so I go by Flyawaybirdie.
Feel free to drop me a message anytime. I love messages/letters/etc.
NOTE!: My cupboard is not up to date. Not even close. But it does have a bunch of teas I have pretty substantial quantities of, so I put them in there anyways because I’m unlikely to run out soon. Also, if I wrote a note on it and didn’t include a TTB name or a sipdown note, I’m likely to still have some even if it’s not in my cupboard, so feel free to ask if you want to swap!

No kidding about the caffeine! Mate is what I drink when I decide to clean carpets, wash windows and dust for cobwebs all in one day.
