Thank you Nina’s Paris for offering up a few samples on the discussion board.

I had marked this on my wishlist after reading VariaTEA’s review. I was very curious about this one.

This smells like popcorn to me. I don’t know what I expected it to smell like, but definitely I did not expect popcorn! And it reminds me of carmel corn. The taste at the front is a nice sweetness from the carmel, and then it starts to taste buttery, and the finish and aftertaste and the same as if I just ate popcorn.

It’s tasty and different from anything I own, but probably not something I would stock in my cupboard. Grateful that I got to try it though!

Bio

The first time I tried loose leaf tea at home, I was hooked. I’ve been drinking tea for years now, though I still feel like such a newbie in the world of teas. There are so many things I’ve never tried from so many new to me companies!

I used to be very much a black tea drinker, but have started, in the last year, to realize that I prefer the lightness of greens and whites much more.

That said, I will basically try any tea once (probably twice, just in case)!

My review categories:
100-94: I never want to run out of these!
93-80: Restock please!
79-60: Definitely like, but not a must have
59-50: Not lovin’ it, but I’d drink it again
49 & below: nope, Nope, NOPE.

Most Wanted Teas:
