Additional notes: I was not expecting anything from this ancient tea. It is green. It has coconut. It tastes AMAZING. Almost like when it was new. Honestly I can’t tell a difference from the first time I tried this tea. HOW? With coconut? This stuff is so tasty. It was always one of my favorites from Della Terra but its even better when the flavor holds up so well. So I should have bought five pounds of this tea??!? I think it’s called “Walnut” here: http://www.eastindiescoffeeandtea.com/tea/scented-flavors/ but I swear Della Terra would sometimes add their own ingredients to some of their teas?

Gosh, haven’t heard the name Della Terra in eons. Are they still around?

I do vaguely remember them adding their own brand of awesome to teas, yes.

I also have teas that are 5+ years old now, and STILL taste amazing. Others… well… you know the drill. Then again, some tea right out of the gate tastes ickypoo.

Della Terra has been gone for a while now. But the link I mentioned is where someone found out they source their teas.

There are still a lot of companies wholesaling East Indies Coffee and Tea blends out there, Cross-searching Della Terra’s ingredients in probably the easiest way to find them since repackagers often rename the blends.

I just had to throw away another of my teas with coconut in it… your coconut luck astounds me! I seem to have none of it.

This is stored in a super thick pouch, so possibly that helped the coconut. ha

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!
