drank Not So Vanilla by Tippy's Tea
768 tasting notes

Afternoon is a good time for smooth, rich vanilla-y goodness, right? I could not sleep last night. Of course right now I could drop off any minute. So a good black tea with some caffeine is a must. This one is excellent.

All your notes about Tippy’s is making me so tea-antsy! Must wait another few weeks before tea-buying-ban is over, though. Gah!

I’ve really enjoyed all the teas I’ve gotten from Tippy’s. Great customer service too. When you lift your ban, I heartily recommend their Minted Monkey. And this one, the Not So Vanilla. Or if you want a straight black tea the Imperial Golden Monkey is yummy.

The bonus of the teas made with their Golden Monkey tea is that they travel well in a Timolino or whatever stainless travel mug you might use. The flavor doesn’t go all flat like with most other teas.

Bio

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
