I really don’t know how I feel about this tea.
Like it did taste like caramel but.. ehh it was just okay. There are some teas that belong in blends and this is one of them.

drank Acai Berry by Zhena's Gypsy Tea

I don’t know how to feel about this tea… I’m not the biggest fan of fruity teas and I’ve never had Açai before and it’s interesting. It’s a wee bit too fruity and sweet for me.
One tea bag is only good for one steeping.

Chamomile alone is okay. I’ve had other chamomile blends where the chamomile was overpowering the other flavours. This blend, however, oh the chamomile was there, but I was able to taste the other flavours as well! The rose kinda got lost a bit after the second steeping, but overall a very wonderful flowery blend :)

drank White Peony by Adagio Teas
726 tasting notes

Oh my gosh. I don’t know if I like this one or Snowbud more, but ahhhh I love this tea!
I love how it’s not like super grassy like the other white teas that I’ve had. This is like the perfect flavour. It’s like the big sister of Snowbud :)

I’ve had the Earl Grey Supreme before and I found some Harney at the bookstore the city over and I was just SO HAPPY BECAUSE HARNEEEYYYY.
They just had a small selection and the only tea that tickled my fancy. I LIKE IT. I REALLY DO.
Between the two Earl Greys that I’ve had from this company, I think I like the Supreme just a smidge more, but hey. The Earl Grey Imperial was still pretty good :)
I like my Earl Grey just plain. No milk or sugar. The bergamot alone is strong enough :)

drank Masala Chai by Adagio Teas

I took a break from logging teas into Steepster because I was tired of logging the same teas over and over again.
Buuuut I just went on a tea spree aaand NEW TEAS IN MY CUPBOARD. SO EXCITED.
Okay. I’ve never actually had chai on its own. I’ve had chai blends, but never just plain chai (teabags don’t count) but ahhh CHAI. It’s good! It’s going to take a while for me to figure out how I like it, but oh, it feels good to have new teas in my pantry :)

THIS TEA WAS GOOD.
It was like… good. Oh gosh I has it last week and I kinda got distracted because of finals. Ahh it tasted like candy in tea form. Sweet and good :)

I’m reading the reviews of this tea on here and ahhh why are they so like.. not bad, but not the absolute best.
My opinion? IT’S THE BEST WHITE TEA I’VE EVER HAD. Well, I’ve only had the ones from the white tea sampler sooo yeah. But out of those four, this is my absolute FAVE. It’s not as grassy as the others and I’m definitely making my way through this particular tea ever so slowly so it can last :)

**side note: I’m kinda mad that the teacup with the filter that I have is like all weird right now. I had a couple cups of chai in it and the chai stuck to the filter. Figured that I shouldn’t drink out of that with the delicate flavours of this tea. So I just put the leaves into my mug, let it steep for a while, and fished the leaves out with a fork. I’M IN COLLEGE. DON’T JUDGE.

Tea rating guide:
100-95: Best thing to ever touch my mouth and I want more. Restocking is a must
94-80: Love this tea. Restock if I can
79-70: Decent tea. Neither love nor hate.
69-60: I won’t be upset when it runs out. I’ll drink it but won’t restock.
59-30: I’ve done whatever I can to like this tea and I’ll finish the cup.
29-10: I’ve done whatever I can to like this tea. It may or may not have gone down the sink…
9-below: Let’s not even hide it. This definitely went down the drain.

I love tea.
I drink it.
I log it.
I have a good time.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

I first discovered my love for tea with jasmine teas because that’s all my mother would buy, so for the longest time, I thought that all teas were jasmine! And then in 4th grade, I watched the tea episode of Good Eats and that’s when the education started! I’d like to blame Alton Brown for starting this obsession because now I only like loose leaf tea.
It wasn’t until my second year of college that I actually expanded my tea taste buds. Special shout out to Cara McGee, Tea Queen for her Adagio Fandom blends. Because of Cara, I actually started drinking blacks, herbals and whites and pretty much everything else in between. I still have a special love for my jasmine though :)
I (try to) drink tea daily. Usually just straight up, no sugar or milk. This little obsession started young and just… kept going, I guess.

also I apologize in advance for lazy tasting notes and horrible grammar in everything I write. I was an avid fandom blogger on tumblr and tumblr talk can get in the way of everything kthxbai
