AQTT #3!

Drinking this now, here at work.

I chose 2oz of this as part of my 6oz contest winnings… not sure what made me go for the 2 full ounces, I think it’s because most of the other teas I was interested in were the limited edition ones which were “off limits” :)

Also I do enjoy lemon desserts and things that smell like lemon desserts such as candles or Scentsy bars, and things that taste like lemon desserts even when they’re not actually desserts.

I did add some milk/blend cream to this as per the suggestion on the bag, which i thought might bring out the dessert aspect, because by sniffing the bag it smelled very lemony but not as much cakey… the cream really helped :) Also as it cools, the lemon is settling down a bit. I may try a bit of sugar next time to see what that does, though i try to avoid adding sugar to my tea and coffee these days. I’d rather eat my sugar in the form of actual desserts :D

I keep sipping as it’s cooling and it’s getting mellower and mellower. I suspect this is a pretty fresh blend also, so I bet as it ages a bit the lemon will fade somewhat.

All in all I am enjoying this, will probably keep it at work! I don’t regret my 2 oz decision!

PS I’m changing my name, I’m over it and I don’t feel really represents ME anymore. To gradually ease all of my 3 readers into this transition, I will continue to have my original username in parenthesis for the time being

LOL! Are there really only three of us left out of all your followers?! Seems like a lot of older members have faded out. :/ I come and go depending on my mood and life.

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.
