So, normally I would not be drinking black tea at this time of night because of caffeine concerns but I think the number of margaritas that happened tonight will counteract the amount of caffeine in this one cup of tea. Also, my self-imposed ban on my Lupicia order has been lifted and I could not resist! THIS IS MY FIRST LUPICIA TEA AHHHHHHH
Both dry and when steeping this tea smells like Kiwi, which is one of my absolute favorite fruits. The steeping aroma also includes some black tea smell…so far so good. Here’s the thing… I can certainly taste the black tea for a second before the kiwi wave crashes into my mouth and is SO GOOD. So, I’m trying to be a good steepster-ite and describe the black tea in it but as I’m concentrating on the nuances of the black tea taste, the kiwi hits and my tongue/associated brain areas are like “KIWI. ME LIKE KIWI. SIP MORE” I’ll just say it’s blended really well…yes, that’s it. If you like kiwi, drink this tea. You will be happy. As for me, this tea has skyrocketed to a place in my favorite teas :-)
Also I shortened my display name so when people refer to me, they don’t have to type the 1851. Just call me mj :-). My friends do!

I plan on going to a Lupica store nearby soon. I’ll have to see if they have that one in stock! Sounds so good!
Btw, I’m curious, why did you ever have 1851 to your username?
Whoops I read that as did you ever, not why did you ever. Anyway, it’s just a user name I use. When you have a super common name like me, usernames are impossible! 1851 is the year FSU was founded. That’s where I did my undergrad degree so I just started using that number in my username at one point.
Sorry that is possibly the most boring explanation ever… what can I say, username creativity is not a strong suit of mine!
