Apologies for all of these entries, I’m totally behind on Steepster-ing!
Sweet Orange was my travel tea on both days, and it was almost exactly what I needed. Something with a slight kick but mellow enough to not distract me from driving. Putting 1000km on a rental car over two days is very very tiring!
This tea is lovely hot, but the orange seems to come out more the more sweetener that is added. If you’re not a sweet fan, you may not get as much orange.
An avid tea addict in the GTA, Ontario, Canada. I’m always looking for new teas and new tea addicted friends!
My preference is loose leaf of all varieties, however the occasional bagged tea can come along and charm me. Flavoured or straight, there is a good chance that I will be falling in love.

My ratings system is based on the smiley faces above the ratings scale.
0-10 — This tea didn’t get past the initial sip process. I just couldn’t bring myself to drink more, I found it so horrible.
11-50 — It made it past first sips, but as I drank a bit more I realized I really wasn’t enjoying the tea, and would never drink it again.
51-60 — I probably made it through the cup, but won’t be trying another one.
61-69 — Either it’s a mystery tea and I can’t decide if I like it or not, or it is one that I felt was purely adequate.
70-85 — These are the teas that I appreciate and/or like. If they are falling in this area they are ones that I would definitely re-buy, however are not ones that I must always have on hand. The good, but not the amazing.
86-94 — These are the favourites. My cupboard feels empty if they aren’t inside.
95-100 — Tea perfection!

I need to pick some of this up next time we’re there, I can’t believe it slipped my mind.
In your mind’s defence, you had quite a list there to get through and we were crunched for time.
