Last time I tried this I had a terrible head cold and couldn’t taste anything, (what a waste!) so I vowed to return when I was back to my normal self.

My normal self is still not capable of pulling much out of this though, gahhhh :(

Before I read everyone else’s reviews, I was sipping and trying to decide what I would say, and what I tasted. Basically I find this to be a very light tea. I didn’t think I underleafed it but maybe??

Kind of woodsy…earthy I guess. Somewhat sweet in a honey sort of way, but no way would I call it a dessert tea. A bit of a floral note in there somewhere.

Reading everyone else’s reviews which reference desserts and caramel and hazelnut etc etc makes me think there must be something wrong with my tongue.

And the official description says “caramel, cream, espresso”…

“Espresso”!!! Hah! How can anyone compare this very fine, thin, watery liquid to espresso?? Ya’ll better check yo selves.

Sigh. Sorry.

It’s just so light! Don’t get me wrong, it tastes fine, but it’s just tea to me :(
It tastes like something that grew in the ground.

I feel like I’ve taken 10 steps backwards with this one.

Hello!

I love tea. I love my mini-me daughter, my husband, my dog Wally, Netflix, shopping, and tea. Some other stuff too, but these are the most important!

Some favourites -

My new favourite tea company is A Quarter to Tea. I love the flavouring used and how it doesn’t seem fake, and the combinations are so delicious. Right up my alley.

My favourite teas are black, I love Laoshan Black and Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black tea from TTC. Also many of Teavivre’s black teas.

Butiki teas RIP, I loved how the flavours were subtle and not fake tasting and didn’t overwhelm the tea base. Trust that I am dramatically mourning the loss of this company!

Teavivre, Whispering Pines and Mariage Freres are some more tea companies I appreciate. Along with Davidstea as it was the ‘gateway drug’ to my tea addiction. Though I’m mostly over it now, I’ve definitely moved on from the artificially flavoured teas and am trying more quality straight teas!

My ultimate goal is to try as many French teas as possible – and to finally find a source in Canada for Mariage Freres so I can buy Wedding Imperial, and Black Orchid for sure.

I would like to try any Taiwanese Assams that exist in the world!

Also continuously on the hunt for Fauchon – La Naissance. If anyone has some of this I would pay for it!!! It’s my number one all time favourite tea.

When I rate, it goes like this:

85 -100 = WIN! awesome, I love this and keep it on hand
70 – 85 = pretty darn good but I don’t NEED to own it
55 – 70 = not necessarily terrible but not a tea for me!
30 – 55 = missed the mark as far as I am concerned. Wouldn’t drink it willingly.
0 – 30 = I likely won’t rate this low very often, so if you see it, consider the tea a great big FAIL and probably disgusting.
