I really shouldn’t have looked at Tealyra’s website because I realized they had a ton of teas on sale/ discontinuing that are some of my favorites. sigh. I figured this would be like Della Terra’s Lemon Chiffon and I’m pretty sure it is (and I’m one teaspoon away from being out of that) so this tea alone inspired an order. But they have so many good blends. And the sale teas were only in 100 gram pouches so now there will definitely be some more teas up on my sale list a few weeks from now (including this one.)
In case anyone missed those magical days of Della Terra, this one is a rooibos base with PLENTY of lemon and cream flavor. I love it. It’s basically a cupboard essential. I think this blend might have lemongrass though and I don’t notice that in DT’s blend. The lemongrass doesn’t seem to change the flavor. Otherwise they both have cornflowers. I don’t know why Tealyra would get rid of this one! More Steepsterers should really give this shop a try. They almost always have a 20% off coupon code.

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!
