Thanks again, Angry Tea Room! I knew I would be in love with this blend when I opened the pouch and the scent was lovely. Though I’m not sure you could drink this for movie NIGHT since it is full of caffeine (black tea, roasted yerba mate) but if you have a lazy movie day this is perfect. I used two teaspoons because this is FULL of ingredients other than black tea, roasted yerba mate and rooibos: huge caramel balls, popcorn and corn kernels, barley and sea salt. The taste is delicious. Plenty of sweetness from the caramel. An even balance of flavors between the black tea, the roasted yerba mate with hints of rooibos. I would have loved more of a buttery and salty flavor to represent popcorn, but it ain’t lying with the caramel. The second steep even LOOKS like caramel! The caramel pieces have completely melted in the brew, leaving it a foggy caramel color. The most caramel tea I’ve ever tasted! I think I steeped both steeps perfectly. I will definitely be stocking up on this one!

Awesome, I’ll have to check that out. Thanks for informing us about them!

Sure! I’m not sure why other Steepsterers don’t sip their teas more often. I’ve enjoyed the few I’ve tried so far.

Fjellrev

Whoops, did a mock order and apparently they don’t offer shipping to Canada. Oh well! Enjoy. :)

tea-sipper

Aw, I’m sorry about that Fjellrev. I guess they only ship within the US?

Fjellrev

Yeah, apparently. Maybe someday they’ll change their minds haha.

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

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!
