Shame on me. I’ve had this tea for a while and hadn’t tried it yet. This may just be the best herbal tea I have ever had. Sweet Cinnamon Pastry Treat. The bf and I devoured this one. So very good. I don’t see this one lasting long. We drank this while we watched Annabelle. It comforted me while I was scaring myself silly.

Loved Annabelle! The beginning with the “cult” invaders was so frightening!

Nichole/CuppaGeek

Every time they showed her sewing I just cringed. You knew what was coming!

Marzipan

Did you rent it or is it on Netflix?

Nichole/CuppaGeek

I think it is running on Cinemax right now.

Fjellrev

I do the same, stall on trying things. You make me want to order this sometime!

Nichole/CuppaGeek

Holler at me and I would gladly send you a sample if you like.

Mmm, sounds good! Added to the wishlist. :)

Thank you Marzipan for this one. You were right. I loved this one! Sweet honeydew with a bit of honey on the side. I wasn’t such a fan of this hot but I LOVED this one iced. So good.

I can’t tell you all how much I love the name of this tea. I have been in love with the Evil Dead Series and Ash (& Bruce Campbell) for years. I really liked this tea. This is one tasty Earl Grey. Not my favorite Earl Grey but up there on the list.

But lets be honest here. . .I would have bought this tea on the name alone.

My dad & I had a lot of fun with this blend. We used some of the leftover herbs from Litehouse Foods. It was tasty. Just not to the "WOW’ point. I want to try it again. This company is so adorable and they have some tasty sounding blends on their site. Just need to try this one again.

Thanks Shae again for turning me on this company!

Shae

I’m glad you’re having fun with some of their blends! I think they’re such a neat little company, but maybe I’m biased because they are local. :) I sent a couple more of their blends your way on Saturday so you should get them sometime today.

Nichole/CuppaGeek

You are awesome! Thanks hon!

Was super excited when my first month’s teas arrived on Saturday from Handmade Tea. I ripped open the pkg and was a little puzzled by the tea. Roasted Chocolate Pineapple Tea Mate. Yeah. . I wasn’t so sure. But the packaging was fantastic! A wax sealed envelope. So fun!

Brewed up the tea and was insanely impressed. This tasted just like a robust coffee with dark chocolate notes. I never picked up any of the pineapple but that may be just because I need to shake up the bag. Super impressed with this. So is the boyfriend. I am going to have to hide this one if I want to keep any of it for myself.

I love this company. I have found only a few blends that just weren’t my cup ‘o tea and those were floral ones. I just don’t really care for floral teas that much or maybe I just haven’t found the right one.

This is one tasty chai blend. Recommend it for those who aren’t fans of really spicy chai. Sweet with a kick. Added some cream and it was yummers!

I love finding an obscure company and then my friends like it.

Shae

I’m loving your new blog!!

Nichole/CuppaGeek

Thanks Shae! I had fun with it today and had a Butiki day while watching Gremlins.

Nichole/CuppaGeek

Marzipan you should be getting it anyday! Wohoo for tea pkgs!

Thank you Shae for the sample! I really really enjoyed this blend! Crisp and Refreshing with an incredible green tea finish. I can’t find anything I didn’t like about it and am looking forward to getting more.

I’m glad you enjoyed this one – I really liked it too. Which reminds me, I need to put in an order with Tealated for some more pretty soon.

Picked this one up from Marzipan- I love chamomile teas but this one, I just didn’t like. It almost had an off setting sour taste. I couldn’t even finish the cup. The odd sour taste overwhelmed the tea.

Flavors: Sour

Marzipan

:(. I remember liking it, but I sweeten my teas.

Profile

Bio

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/.
