Another sample from TassieTeaGirl; I am smashing through these. It’s like Christmas!

This earl grey is beautifully sweet. I oversteeped a little so it was a touch bitter, but that’s just because I have the unfortunate habit of walking away from a steeping tea and forgetting about it (and I don’t yet have the machine that goes PING when steep time is up, but it sounds like a solid investment for me).

ANYWAY. Delicious and sweet tea. I added a bit of sugar to correct the bitterness and it worked a treat. Milk isn’t necessary, but also doesn’t take away from the deliciousness.

“For almond lovers”? Pfft. This tea tastes like apple crumble or a delicious wholesome cookie, and for that reason I am INTO IT. What an awesome dessert tea! Needs nothing else added (in fact, adding kind of ruins it – I tried with some honey). I think my sample missed out on any decent-sized beetroot flakes, because I didn’t get the crazy pink cup that everyone remarks on! Mine was instead a lovely apricot shade.

(Yet another TassieTeaGirl sample.)

My favourite bedtime tea, which is funny because T2 specifically tried not to give this relaxing herbal blend led by chamomile and lavender a “sleepy” name. But it’s hard to resist letting this lull you off to sleep! I love love love the spearmint notes in this. It’s just a lovely soothing tea. Two people who’ve tried it at my place in the last couple of months have gone out and bought it for themselves.

Sweet, light and delicate. I didn’t let this steep for too long because I wanted a second go at my sample. Don’t add anything to this beautiful tea, you heathens. (Thank you for the sample, TassieTeaGirl!)

Another sample from TassieTeaGirl. Best without anything added — with even a bit of sugar added, the sweetness became quite chemical, but without sugar it was just enough to scrape through as a dessert tea. The maple leaves are an adorable touch.

My current favourite from T2. Amazing berry smell that translates to the cup in a deliciously light and fruity way. I can’t get enough of this tea. I really want to try it iced but I haven’t had the patience yet, I keep gobbling it up!

First to log of the haul I got from TassieTeaGirl at our tea tasting yesterday! I poured my sample of this into my favourite Kinto unitea pot and took it upstairs to bed. Ooh la la. It’s got a sweet peachy colour to it (I believe this is the hibiscus’ fault), just enough sweetness to enjoy without anything added, and mostly chamomile and citrus lingering.
