Cocoa Amore

I always prefer resteeping multiple small pots worth instead of making one big pot of something :) You can get at least 3 good steeps out of this one, too!

Oh, that’s good to know! I am not the best at resteeping normally (don’t tell the avid resteepers), but I will try it next time. :)

Hehe, MzPriss and TheTeaFairy never resteeped until they tried some of my teas that resteep AMAZINGLY (Golden Orchid, Cocoa Amore, Port, pretty much the entire Vanilla Dreams Collection). I even find that I like the second infusion more quite often!

:D

lollerskates

Lol, epic. Crazy Eyes is terrifying.

Yes! Succinct but so very true.

This is an outstanding tea.

Yes, so f** good!!!

Dang, I gotta try it soon!!!

Stephanie, it’s going in the mail hopefully in the morning.

:)

It’s soooooooo good

Squeeeee!

Yay!!! Now you understand :-) and great review!!

Awesome review :-) It makes me want to try this even more!

Sounds dreamy

Yes Tea Fairy you have made me a true convert just through your reviews!

It truly is dreamy. I’m drinking another cup right now and it’s even better than I remembered it.

:D hehehe

Haha! Frolic, I love converting people to WP, it’s an easy thing to do :-) so happing you like it as much as I do…I even bought a poster of it, that how much I love it! Now you must try port, it’s back in stock in case you haven’t notice ;-)

I saw that but sadly I’m banned from buying any more tea for quite some time so no Port for me :(

I will enjoy the many nommy teas I already own though and there will be a time for Port.

Yes, very wise, keep it for a special time frolic, it is worth all your attention :-)

That’s what I’m learning with WP teas. They are to be sipped and savored.

When I read that it was best to let GO age a bit and notice how it’s flavor profile evolves the first thought in my head was “how will I ever be able to make this oz last more than a week!”

Now I know that these are amazingly satisfying teas. It may take some will power to not just gulp down the nommy richness, but it will be it’s own reward.

Can we get this tea in Canada?

Hi Helene! WP Teas are available exclusively through www.whisperingpinestea.com. Shipping to Canada is $10 up to $75 and then free :-)

Thank you, I have never heard of your company before. I will look at your website. I can live with $10 shipping tea if the tea is worth buying :)

Oh, Helene…it IS worth it, beleive me!!!

Helene, here’s a 15% off coupon for first-time customers :-) “sip-inspiration”

Hubby worked in LA for 5 yrs and now is in Asia. It’s too back I did not know about Whispering Pines Tea Co before, I would have shipped him so tea. I will take the 15% off coupon, that will help. Thanks so much!

Would you tell me how many cups of tea will I get from this Cocoa Amore please?

I meant if I order 1 ounce of this tea.

If you do the recommended 3 infusions, Cocoa Amore will give you at approximately 36 cups worth per ounce.

Thanks for the answer. Can we order this tea in smaller bags?

Unfortunately I can’t offer samples of Cocoa Amore, but I can give you a money-back guarantee that it’s delicious! :)

That’s great, I’m sure I would love it anyway :)

Feel better soon!

I’m actually feeling a ton better today than I have been feeling, but I’m still definitely sick. I have a feeling that the weekend spent doing nothing but drinking tea and chilling on my couch will help a ton.

Believe in the powers of CA, and feel better.

It’s POURING rain. Terrible weekend…And the colors are already past peak :-(

Downstate we’re just starting to turn. Upper Lower is probably perfect right now.

But yes, it’s raining here, too. Lousy. I’m glad I’m stuck inside.

I do enjoy the sound of the rain while having tea, though :-)

It is a good combination.

All of the vanilla teas with real vanilla beans get better with a little age They get smoother and even more lovely. I am enjoying a cup right along with you right now.

Yep, that’s what I was thinking, schmoopie. I know that my GO improves with a little time, so I hoped this would be the same. Not that it’s bad AT ALL. I just think it’s the sort to mellow nicely and get smooooooth, like buttah.

(It’s subbliminal cherries!!!) Yay, glad you like this one….I like it so much, I ordered the poster to have it framed in my kitchen, lol. (And I would love to get me a few beans of that tahitian vanilla!)

I have some sort of vanilla beans… I wonder what kind. I will have to look!

I gotta try this with some fresh cherries. Or dried cherries. Or cherry pie. Or some of that coconut cream.

Yes! Some sort.

Oh I did cherry compote with the Terricreme

I know, I’m still gushing over that picture!

Pics, pls. And speaking of, I posted my pu haul for you on the Today’s Mail post, but here it is again.

https://www.flickr.com/x/t/0090009/photos/124304184@N02/14672325832/

Also, picture, in your mind, my new shelf on the wall above this table. It’s white. And it will have my cute little yixing gaiwans when they arrive from far away lands. Can’t wait!

(Sars that photo makes ME happy and it’s not even MY tea….)

Lord…I’m in awe. Best “starter kit” ever!!!! Actually, this will not only start you, it will last you for the next five years!!!

There’s a saying: Go Big or Go Home. LOL I went big!!!!

I really do need to stop now. For realz. I have a few things I want if the Butiki sale happens, and then I want some sleeping bear and jabber. But that’s it. Two orders. Then NO MORE TEA.

I know I am (sort of) a grown up, and I should show some self-restraint, that’s not really my thing. Moral support will be appreciated!!! Whatever it takes! Dex: please drive to PA and hip check me if I even LOOK at a new tea! :p

Got it – Butiki sale and TWO teas from WP… and then no looking – but for how long? What’s the goal?
I think there are a bunch of us who should be stopping, and we should be supporting each other – not that I would complain about a trip to PA for a little enforcing… ;))

Good questions… At least 2 months. Hopefully more. The goal, beyond not buying more than I can drink, is to be happy with what I have. That’s more of a personal Sarsy goal.

Also, I am going to stop enabling all of you! Instead, I think we should find new ways to enjoy our existing teas, either by mixing, icing or mixing and then icing.

Maybe we need to do a google+ Teahab Support Meeting once a month or something.

Oh, and I am cancelling my subscription services.

I know it’s going to be hard for all of you but you HAVE to stop reading about tea and looking at websites and seeing what everyone else is drinking. I didn’t have a problem as big as yours might be, but it was a problem. I was spending money I didn’t have on tea. I mean if I had the cash maybe I wouldn’t have worried. But I was borrowing money (credit card) to buy tea. So I kinda stopped looking around at all the tea I didn’t have. I read steepster notes but without focusing on the specifics. So “oh my god, that sounds so good, what tea is THAT?” turned into “that’s nice, she’s having a good time”.
I made a purpose of not looking up websites of tea companies. Cause once you’re there the pictures are pretty and they show juicy cherries or something equally colourful.

there’s always gonna be tea and no matter how much you try, you can’t drink all the tea because the tea makers just blend new stuff all the time. So just forget that. But hey, keeping up with the jones’ is an old, old habit. And if you do have the money, I don’t really see a problem with pleasuring oneself :)

I know, it’s unsolicited, but your chatter was inviting.

Good thoughts, Nxtdoor. I’m not going into tea-debt or anything, but I do (just as part of my personality) tend to go overboard on things in life, not just tea.

I have a good selection of teas now and I think it’s time to focus on enjoying them, which is what I plan to do. :)

Unless you get high on buying, not so much on drinking. Like someone I know, not naming names!

I get high both on buying and drinking :-o
Seriously, I totally understand what you are saying nxtdoor and thanks for bringing that out of genuine concern..,
I joke a lot about it all but things are not as out of control as they seem…oh, they are in the sense I could totally put that money somewhere else, but I don’t have kids and have pretty much only myself to take care of… But it is definitely an addiction, not gonna lie…

Totally agree, TTF. We have quite a few parallels.

I am guilty of retail therapy and I like shopping, but I genuinely love tea. I also joke around about my tea addiction, but I haven’t taken out a 2nd mortgage or anything. :)

Also, no kids, so no one is impacted by my little sprees!

I go back and forth with these attitudes:
-Life is short! Spend it all! Have fun!!!! Wheeeee!
And
- I am an adult. I will behave with decorum. Look at how grown up I can be.

What LTF said. I could do other things with the $ nand really I have too much tea – but it’s GREAT tea and I really am figuring out what I love and getting rid of the things I just HAD to try and now I have some and don’t LOVE it. And I got more mail just now. I got some HOT COWBOY and a pot. But SHOULD I slow down? Absolutely.

OMG! Which was the hot cowboy? The HOTOT right?

Yes ma’am

These days, and I mean by that in the last 2 months, I hardly bought any tea I dislike. That’s why I keep writing raving reviews, cause I pretty much only drink the teas I love. I’m also getting rid of all the stuff I don’t like and buying those allowed me to figure out what I definitely DON’T like.

And HOT COWBOY…and that pot…lol, thats all it took to get me going again.

(P

You know that’s me too – I’m just drinking stuff I don’t LOVE. I’m rooting around for last little bit of SB

I think I’ll make that in the AM, HoneyBelle. Last time I had it, I felt happy and serene. Seems like a great way to start my day!

I only have enough for one little cup because I only had a sample and I didn’t know how awesome it was and by the time I did, this month’s was already sold out.

I got a sample today. But I did talk to Brenden about it. He gave me the timeline, so I’ll be sure to get some of the August harvest. That’s one of my pre-approved purchases. :p

Good sleepytime tea

If you change your mind and still want me to send you some just say so:-)
I’ve been having it almost every night, that’s why I need a monthly subscription…

I’m going to try my sample tomorrow night. I love a good evening tea to wind down the day with.

I love this review!!! I love all these Vanilla Dreams teas as well. I really love this one a lot. And I will be waiting impatiently until I can have more.

Hehehe, yes, love it! How about Pappa Port, Momma GO…Elderwood is the son and Cocoa Amore is the daughter…and of course El Dorado is the dog :D

LOL I’m trying that El Dorado puppy today

Don’t worry, the spices don’t bite ;)

I’ve been looking forward to wee snaily chai

Hahah! Yes, one big happy family! Can’t wait to try the doggy as well….now will there be a kitty in that collection?

There might just be ;)

I am not at all surprised by that

This sounds amazing. I love your reviews.

(I loove kitties)

Cheri, thank you. This tea is amazing…I have just enough for another cup and I think it won’t be long before I have it!

Sounds wonderful!

I sooooo can’t wait to try this one, payday just don’t come soon enough tho, i may have to let Lance buy me some before i get paid hehehe :)

I’ve always thought of my teas as masculine or feminine i dunno why it just always made sense to me

I hope you can get your hands on that one soon enough Tommy!

Tea always has a gender to me, and sometimes, it is androgynous!

Sounds so good!

Terri, can’t find the post anymore, but I got my tea, I can totally do the Manistee moonrise tasting with you guys tonight!!

Tommy, do you own that tea? We’re paying the full moon a tribute tonight by having this tea all at the same time :-)

I was just going to ask about that – what time Terri?

Oh….whenever the moon is rising in each of our respective cities? LOL
OR….we can select an actual time…hmmm
Whatever you guys want to do

What time is it for you now Terri?

Terri are you Central Time?

I’ve got the Manistee moonrise too, Full Moon tribute sounds cool to me :)

Excellent

Anyone else reading this thread is welcome to join us tonight :-)

I’m in! :)

Hellz Yeah!! Who all is doing this tonight??

Cocoa Amore is now available for anyone interested! :)

Seriously?

:)

So I’m in Central time zone, with a moonrise of 8:30pm…
Tonight is also suppose to be a super moon, or something like that
http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-supermoon-2014-high-tides-20140711-story.html
Of course, it’s a little over cast in st. louis, so I may not even be able to see the moon rise…sigh…

cocoa amore…well, I sold a few more CDs this week on iTunes/CDbaby…

Haha! Terri’s got some Playpal moonies!!!!

:) has Terri become a WPTealiever?

maybe… :)

I am gushing over this review, everything about it rocks, even the song!!!! You are spot on, it is the BOMB!!!!!

So much fun to do this with you and The Magic Tea Whiz

:) Hehe, this review is awesome!

Omg sounds dreamy
My favorites : chocolate and cherries and vanilla
Mmmmmmmmmmm

boychik so. very. dreamy.

Brenden never gets to see our reviews before we post them so he doesn’t know what they’re going to say. It’s great tea man.

Sounds Great!

I’m a non believer in re-steeps, but this baby takes it like a champ!!

LTF – did you see the PM I just sent you? Are you in my brain??

Haha! I guess I was!!!

You make me smile with LTF

You ARE the LTF!

This is now available! :)

I miss out when I don’t get on Steepster over the weekend. This is awesome. It makes me want to buy this right now! Great review TTF and MzPriss!

Tea important is clean water to make tea. Currently in Vietnam we, heavily contaminated water sources so often used to make tea Máy lọc nước. Máy lọc nước produce pure water so very delicious tea. If interested you can visit the following link:https://mb9000.com/san-pham/may-loc-nuoc-korihome.html
