Sipdown #3(11) = 380
I really want to like this tea, because it tastes delicious!
Sadly, I only took a few sips, because unexpectedly my tongue started it’s reaction, & I don’t know if it’s a chemical thing, or an allergy, but I could feel my tongue & lower lip puffing up a little, & the start of an unhappy sensation all the way down to my gut.
I really hate being overly sensitive sometimes.
But I’ve learned that no matter how tasty a tea is, I will regret drinking it if I don’t listen to these cues, so down the drain it went…sigh…
I’d still like to thank Lala for the sample. :)

Hmmm, that really sounds like a nasty allergic reaction. Gee, be careful…
Have you taken note of what other items you have had that reaction to and compared ingredients? On the plus side, people pay lots of money for lip puffing cosmetics and all you have to do is make a cup of the right tea! :/
TeaFairy, I’ve only ever had THAT reaction to flavored teas, which is the main reason I’m so picky about them. I do have a lot of allergies & sensitivities, to various foods & chemicals. So my assumption has been that this reaction is to flavorings in the teas. Artificial flavorings seem like the obvious culprit, however ‘natural flavorings’ can contain pretty much anything (including MSG, which I definitely react to). This is the 3rd tea I think from Nina’s that I’ve had this response from, although I’ve drank 2 of their teas without the reaction. I’ve also had it from flavored teas from a few other companies.
Hence, I mostly stick to unflavored teas, with the exception of a few blends that have real ingredients in them!
Still…a girl’s gotta go out a limb & try something new once in awhile, right?
Dustin, you’re killing me here, LOL.
:D
