Bio
Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Matcha, Gyokuro, Sencha, Genmaicha… Etc. I like all teas: Green, oolong, black & pu’erh (prefer ripe over raw).
Chanoyu (for matcha prep) and Gongfu cha (for other types of tea) are the main ways I prepare my tea (Gaiwan, Yixing teapot, Kyusu). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. This past year, I’ve tried many flavored now because of all of you lol. As long as there aren’t artificial sweeteners, it’s all good.
Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, 52Teas, Whispering Pines, Bird & Blend, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia.
The flavors I dislike: Artificial sweetener, lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, papaya, honeydew, rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, any mints, leather.
Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread/pastry, nuts, toasted, roasted.
I generally don’t add anything to my teas unless they are flavored, then I may add a splash of milk.
As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.

This one is also a NO from me. I just can’t stand it for some reason, and I love similar teas.
nods Definitely a NO.
I also got this as a free sample, but I had to give it away because it was so weird.
It’s certainly not the blend to give away for free if they’re trying to convince people to drink their teas…
@AJRimmer: It was pretty weird… I should’ve done the same thing.
@tea-sipper: No kidding lol
