Made this with some mango juice and pineapple bubly water. It’s fine but not my favourite.

Put about 3 tsps of this into milk and had it sit for hours and then I added boba to it. On the plus side, this is Amy as sweet as the last one. On the negative side, I don’t taste much banana or really any of the tea…so I need to keep experimenting.

Love this tea! I’ve tried to steep tea in milk a couple of times and it never seems to work for me… :(

Sometimes I do it on the stove and that seems to work better than cold brewing with milk

Iced with Strawberry Vanilla Cold Foam Sipdown (214)

This cold foam plays off the flavours in the iced tea a lot better, highlighting the strawberry and vanilla while allowing the bergamot to tie things together. I never loved this tea since I’m not a huge bergamot fan but this was an awesome cup to finish it off with.

drank Mint Chip Cookie by Dessert by Deb

Bought instant boba at Costco that is brown sugar boba pearls so I tried to think what could hold up in milk and pair with brown sugar. This stood out because I thought the brown sugar may add to the “cookie” while mint chip is best in milk. Unfortunately the boba is super sweet so while this is good, it’s not quite what I thought it would be. Will need to tweak.

Had this iced yesterday with toasted marshmallow cold foam and it wasn’t the best pairing. Still good but I’ve definitely had better.

Iced with salted caramel cold foam Sipdown (214)

The cold foam drowns out the rooibos and highlights the caramel making this so much better.

Added pineapple sparkling water to this and somehow that highlighted the habanero hot sauce. It’s honestly so odd.

drank Himalayan Breakfast by Vahdam Teas

For a couple of days I had been thinking about making a mojito type drink with tea. Since I figured other flavours might stand out more, I decided to go with a plain black tea I was pretty meh about trying. This was that tea and I made it over ice with mint leaves and lime juice. I then topped that all with some pineapple sparkling water. After a taste, I realized I was a bit heavy handed with the lime juice so I opted to add a splash of vanilla syrup to offset the tart citrus. That actually rounded out the flavour perfectly making this bright, sweet and super refreshing. The tea provided a solid foundation for the other flavours to thrive. I’d have it like this again but also I should probably try it plain once.

Ordered from my local kombucha place again for the first time in probably a year or so because of this seasonal flavour – a combo of pineapple and habanero hot sauce. It actually has a bit of a kick which made this pretty tasty. The company recommended adding sparkling water to it so I’ll try that with my next glass.

My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!

For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu’erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, toffee, cookie, cream, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well.

I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won’t drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can’t stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.

Tea Ratings Guide (as of December 10, 2017)
90-100 Teas I NEED on hand at all times
80-89 Teas I want to keep around for a cup every now and then
70-79 Teas I am glad I have around and can experiment with but probably don’t need more than what’s in my cupboard
60-69 Teas I would not turn down a cup of from a friend but that would probably be enough
50-59 Teas I can see why someone would enjoy but are not for me
Under 50 Teas I really did not like and most likely got dumped
