This is from Dexter3657’s awesome package of teas! thanks so much! I love nutty teas, so I couldn’t wait to try it. This is a local tea company of Dexter’s. I couldn’t find much info on the site for this one. It seems to be out of stock. I’m guessing it has black tea with walnuts… looking at the leaves it looks like their are rose petals and orange pieces. Odd combination! I steeped this at just boiled for a few minutes. The steep color of the cup is a pale brown. The flavor of the black tea isn’t strong, but that lets the walnut flavor be noticed. The walnut is nice if not strong… not playdoh like that David’s Snowbunny tea. :D But actually walnuts. The orange and rose petals don’t add much to the flavor. I think I’d rather just have the walnuts and the black tea anyway. Not bad but not strong enough for the morning for me!

I bought it in store. They have tons more teas than what is listed on their web site, so yes details are sometimes hard to come by. :))

That’s a TON of teas then! Their site is amazing. :D

I’m not allowed to go very often. It’s easy to get in trouble with all the tea choices, and it’s two doors down from my favorite chocolate shop.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
