It’s a little strange that I actually like this blend. I mean, I hate red Rooibos, I’m not a fan of Lapsang, don’t even like my Keemun when they are too smokey…Basically, I only like smoke in my food or in my fireplace.

But this tea is like eating something deliciously smokey. It feels like a real treat. It’s not something I would drink at any hour of the day though.

Why did I choose to drink it tonight? Cause I ate some delectable smoked salmon for dinner and I thought this tea would end the meal perfectly.

And it did!

The blend is pure alchemy, I think that’s why it works so well, it contains a little bit of magic..

The Rooibos? I can’t see it, I can’t taste it, that’s the way I like my Rooibos!

The smoke? It’s just right, not bitter, not too pungent, just very campfire woody. The cinnamon and the smoke work so well together, it’s the most pleasurable thing.

I’m outside in the gazebo, it’s nightfall and I’m just chilling, listening to a little frog’s symphony, little pleasures are so rewarding!

I love smoked salmon! :3

…and this tea sounds amazing. Definitely adding it to my Whispering Pines list.

Tea + Magic is how I roll! :) Oh, and salmon, too…I LOVE SALMON!!!

TheTeaFairy

Cameron B, I’ve noticed from previous posts that you like cinnamon a lot, right? I think this will really work for you :-)

And yes…SALMON is food of the GODS!!! (And so is the kale dish I prepared for it!!!)

almon is food of the gods!!

It depends on the tea, but I would definitely enjoy it in this. :D

Ohhh we should share recipes :)

TheTeaFairy

Hmmm…maybe you wouldn’t like my recipes so much. I’m a “semi” vegetarian, I eat meat only once or twice a month, and I am a green smoothie fanatic lol!!
Veggies, seeds, nuts, fish, fruits, health freak!! But I love bacon, if that counts for anything :-)

I need someone to teach me how to eat like that, The TeaFairy! You must be super healthy!

Christina / BooksandTea

Man, EVERY tea that WP makes sounds so good. One of these days…

TheTeaFairy

mj1851, it’s just a lifestyle…I have no merit, I really love the way I eat and I never liked meat all that much. But because I eat it so rarely, if I crave it I just have it! The good thing about eating well 99% of the time is that you can indulge once in a while without feeling guilty! And I eat my dark chocolate almost everyday :-)

TheTeaFairy

Haha! Christina, I guess it depends of everyone’s personal tastes, but so far, WP teas just fit so well with me :-)

Tea fairy – I eat the Mediterranean diet. Only eat chicken sometimes and fish if I catch it. Everything I eat is homemade, locally grown, and/or organic if possible.

I make my own yogurt, pasta sauce, rice milk, kombucha, etc…

And I’m nuts about nuts, berries, and fruits. I try to eat at least an apple a day and always have at least one meal of rice and steamed veggies a day.

In conclusion, I think I’d like your recipes ;)

TheTeaFairy

Haha! OMG, you are a few steps ahead of me Brenden! Your own kombucha?
That’s awesome! So happy to know you’re not a hunter.
And of course, I too loooove the Mediterranean diet!!! I’m not crazy about rice milk, but I make my own almond milk and peanut butter, so good!
Lol, this tea review really digress ;-)

:) Yep, I’ve had my kombucha going for about a year now…I’ve actually just installed a heating element and thermostat to control the fermentation, too!

You might be interested in learning how incredibly simple it is to make your own kombucha…hehe… www.whisperingpinestea.com/kombucha ;)

I’m glad to hear about the dark chocolate or I might suspect that you are not human, TheTeaFairy

TheTeaFairy

Aww, thanks! My goodness, good job, you really make it sound full proof. I will have to meditate on that a little before deciding to try. What’s scares me is not knowing what the heck I’m doing, but your step by step guide is pretty clear. Will let you know ;-)

TheTeaFairy

Lol, mj1851, I also eat pasta and cheese every week and drink red wine if that makes you feel better ;-)
(As long as if I do a HIIT workout on that day!!!)

Bio

I am French Canadian, so please forgive me if my English is not always perfect :-/

My relationship with tea in a nutshell:

I’m married to straight Black. I have torrid love affairs with Oolong and Puerh. I party with Green and White occasionally. Flavored are not my BFF, I usually stay away from them.

Love Steepster, a place for tea lovers, where you learn and share with others.

About me:

I am a free spirit, I let people be who they are and expect the same in return.

Books! I love classic literature, but also modern and pretty much anything that captures my attention.

Music is also something I can’t live without… From Bach to Nirvana, my ears know no boundaries…

Animal and nature lover, amateur photographer.

I’ve been drinking tea for as long as I can remember.

Drinking tea is a sensorial experience. The name in itself “Camellia Sinensis” lingers the promess of an adventure for the senses…

Not a big «swapper», but will occasionally. Not because I don’t want to share but because I’m trying not to hoard so much.

Also, I have narrowed down the teas I really like over the years, and I don’t feel the need to try and buy everything the way I used to. (Maybe I have become a tea snob? Sigh…)

My ratings: because I pretty much drink only teas that I judge exceptional, my ratings are usually high. Don’t be shocked to see lots of 90’s and a few 100’s. That’s because I’ve had my share of crapy teas and I’m done with that ;-)

You can find me on Instagram here, I post about my tea sessions mostly, but also about the beautiful nature that surrounds me, and my fury companions :-)
