Another one from Tiffany :) – thanks so much! This one reminds me almost of Butiki’s Three Friends but without that distinct unique base that Butiki had and heavy on the orange – I guess it also reminds me of Angry Tea Room’s Creamsicle blend if chocolate and a bit of black tea was added. So this is channeling some of my favorite teas! It’s a bright orange with only a hint of chocolate, until the dregs of the cup. Very tasty but I would love a bit more black tea and slightly less rooibos. The perfect amount of sweetness, but I’d really love some of that “biscuit” flavor that is mentioned in the name. I’m glad I have some of this in the cupboard – it will make sipping down Three Friends a bit less terrible. Also drank this with a couple Dove dark chocolates.
Steep #1 // 2 teaspoons for a full mug // 20 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 3-4 minute steep

My icon photo is Richard Mayhew from the graphic novel ‘Neverwhere’ by Neil Gaiman, Mike Carey & Glenn Fabry.

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!
