I really shouldn’t write off teas just because they are bagged as this is amazing. This is an iced gingerbread cookie in a cup and it is amazing!!

That sounds really good! I’ve had my eyes open for these teas but haven’t seen them anywhere yet.

I picked up some boxes with my Mom and I think my Dad grabbed some for me as well so I will definitely have enough to share. I can send some your way when I am back home.

I’ve seen them at Superstore, Cavo. Don’t know what you have out your way, though.

I’ve been at a few Loblaw related chains, but not an actual Superstore. And Shoppers. And Walmart. Meh. Maybe next year. :P
(It’s not that big a deal…)

This is definitely a tasty tea. Luckily both of my parents bought me a box so I have 40 tea bags. I think I should be set for a while although I will keep in mind that they sell it on CS :)

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
