This tea is one of the first I enjoyed with my White2Tea club. I decided a few months ago to start dipping my toe more into puerhs and teas that are outside my comfort zone and to my surprise, I’ve started to really really love darker teas and black teas. (I used to be a green tea gal)

This is sadly my last serving of this lovely tea. Sweet, dark, earthy/mushroomy with a thick richness that I can’t put my finger on. (first steeping) Just makes me soo insanely eager for my multiple tea orders from White2Tea to get here already.

Flavors: Earth, Mushrooms, Sweet

Mushroom! My partner is obsessed with the health benefits of mushrooms and I could totally see her being intrigued with this haha.

Courtney: I used to have a tea called Willow from Whispering Pines. It had candy cap mushrooms in it! You might poke around the internet and see if it is available anywhere.

Courtney

Thanks ashmanra! I’ll have to do some searching!

And Friday Afternoon has a blend that is amazing with mushrooms, figs, and elderflowers. Sounds like a super weird combo but I love it. https://fridaytea.com/products/druids-blend?pos=2&_sid=81183fdaa&ss=r

Neat! Thanks for the tip!

Nicole/Cuppageek – a package arrived from Friday Afternoon today addressed to my daughter who only drinks one tea and no others. I dare say it might be a Christmas gift for me! I am betting it has something to do with Avatar because we watched it together in the summer! Maybe Uncle Iroh’s Jasmine? I will know next week!

Nichole/CuppaGeek

Oh do let me know! And let me know what you think of the blends. I subscribe to her sampler and try to get it a couple times a month. Some of the blends have been quite amazing. How exciting!

I’m back and hopefully for good! After a bit of a hiatus, I want to get back in the habit of logging my tea journey for various reasons.

I never know how to start these things. I’m a 40ish tea loving gal who enjoys tea parties, horror movies and polka dots/plaid. I have an amazing supportive husband who has allowed our house to be over run by tea in more ways than one. We have four kiddos between us along with our two furbabies that we love as much as they drive us nuts. Our family truly is our world.

Now on to the tea: I love all kinds. I’m not a huge fan of red rooibos- truly is my arch enemy but I love green rooibos. Beyond that, I’ll try everything once or twice to make sure I didn’t bumble up the steepings. Recently got into puerh and enjoying the adventure. If you are interested in something from me, just holler at me. I’m always up for trying new tea blends or sharing with others!

I’ve also started blending up my own teas at http://www.cuppageekteas.com/ I try to make fun unique blends to brighten someones day with.

I am also the admin behind SororiTea Sisters. If you are interested in reviewing teas for us, let me know!. We are always looking for guest reviewers or contributors: http://sororiteasisters.com/.
