A concise version of my opinions on this tea is here:

The original draft of that review involved me saying that the tea smelled kind of rustic. Like a barn. Not a YUCKY, UNCLEAN barn. Just a kind of hay/wood smell. And then I went off on a tangent about my aunt and uncle’s sheep, which I will offer up now:

“My aunt and uncle had two sheep, a black one and a white one. They weren’t for eating. They were big pets.

They were two females — or so we thought.

After shearing the sheep one year, they noticed that one of them had a VERY strange-looking undercarriage. There was something, um, bumpy under the lady business. They were vets, so they knew what they were looking at, but called in another vet to verify.

One of the sheep was a hermaprodite. They had to castrate their ewe. That sheep (which had had an attitude problem) became very docile afterwards.

I was really into those sheep. I once climbed an electrified fence so I could get to them.

I was a stupid child. It’s a miracle I lived long enough to review this tea."

As you can see, that entire tangent had nothing to do with the tea. But now you have a better idea about the type of person I am.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Hay, Orange, Spices, Wood

I loved sheep as a child, for as-yet unexplained reasons. I had a collection of toy sheep, and a bunch of little sheep figurines. Its a mystery as to why, but I adored those wooly creatures.
So your story charmed! I’m glad to have read it.

Super Starling!

I think most kids have things they’re obsessed with. I had a thing about whales; my best friend, penguins. My husband knew every single dinosaur name. When people asked what I wanted to be, I used to say “oceanic biologist.” People would look at me and laugh. In my little 5-year-old face. I WAS VERY SERIOUS ABOUT MY CAREER GOALS, GUYS.

Bio

I’m a graphic designer, illustrator, crafter, geek, and recent tea convert. I love teas that are sweet, zippy (caffeinated), and hopeful. In concrete terms, that’s usually black or maté tea, with some chocolate/vanilla/berry/nut in there somewhere. If it gives me the dessert experience without the calories, my heart soars.

I’m not a big fan of mint, grass (“yogi farts”), sours, or bitterness.

I’m into the idea of trading to try new things. If you think our flavor profiles coordinate, let me know, and we can swap boxes!
