drank Lemon Tart by CaesarsTea
6444 tasting notes

I realized that I had not finished watching Lost when I finished Firefly. I had about 1/2 of the final season left. I am trying to pick up where I left off but all the flashbacks/flashforwards/flashsideways have me a tad bit lost. I am sure it will all come back soon enough.

Anyways, while I watched, I decided to get in a few sipdowns. This one is not as vegetal when brewed at the right temperature although it still is rather grassy. Also the smell of lemon in this is so much greater than the taste. I definitely won’t miss this one now that it is gone.

Flavors: Grass, Lemon Zest

Preparation
185 °F / 85 °C 2 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

J watched this completely, and every so often I watched an episode. I came to the realization that perhaps the name Lost was quite intentional haha.

YOU NEED TO FINISH LOST!!! It was my favourite TV show for the longest time. I watched it as it was airing, and it was fantastic. I own all the seasons now! :)

I did a Lost marathon over the summer. You do need to finish it. The last half season is where it all starts to make sense. ;-) LOL

I watched all the seasons over the course of a week and loved it. As in I was obsessed but then it got weird and I stopped but now I am back to watching it and just a touch confused as I try to remember all the faces.

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
