100

So today being the fourth of july, I though about reviewing only fireworks teas.

Ya know, the ones that blow your mind.

The ones that create that explosion of happy in your mount.

The ones that you would bring with you on a deserted island.

The ones that you can’t live without…

Ailaoshan Black more than qualifies for the job.

Its salty caramel goodness makes me see bright colours every morning :-)

(Oh and look! Note 300th!!)

MzPriss

Happy 300! I love this one too

looseTman

Congrat’s on 300!

MzPriss

This sounded too good. I’m having some right now in my cute new green mug

MzPriss

OH! And I’m having cherries in my smoothie this morning :D

TheTeaFairy

Oh! Me too then…with almond milk and chia seeds. Mmmm, cherries. Me and my Steepster friend Dexter (not talking about my dog here!!!) are legendary cherry lovers. Happy to have found another cherry nut :-)

MzPriss

Mine has chia seeds as well because <3. I use half organic kefir and half locally made organic yogurt, cherries, chia and some whey protein. It’s cherry-y and tangy and mmmm-y

MzPriss

Whoa – half my comment disappeared. What I said was: mine has half kefir/half yogurt, cherries, chia and some whey protein.

TheTeaFairy

Thanks loosTman :-)

TheTeaFairy

Yours is a meal!! I don’t “eat” breakfast weekdays but have green smoothies with way too many ingredients to list here, lol. But I’m planning to have oatmeal and apples and berries later so I must keep the smoothie a smoothie!

Sil

WOOHOOO! grats on 300!

MzPriss

Mine IS a meal. It’s what I have for breakfast weekday mornings. Tomorrow morning I’m making cornmeal pancakes with peaches and cottage cheese. And probably a little bacon.

I love chia and almond milk smoothies! I use soy yogurt, rolled oats and fruit in mine. I also always add a handful of spinach to get some veggies. Can’t even taste it!!!

MzPriss

I do sometimes put a handful of baby spinach in – you’re right, you can’t taste it. I also do like some oats in on occasion.

SarsyPie

I use flax seeds sometimes, too. You guys are making me want cherries. I found some wild cherries when hiking last week, but the trees were too tall for any kind of real harvest. So sad!

TheTeaFairy

Thanks Sil :-)

Sarsonator, I add oat too most of the time, isn’t it great? I started making green smoothies about 3 years ago. I remember how everything tasted weird at the beginning. I now use a ratio of about 2/3 veggies 1/3 fruits. Kale, spinach, carrot, celery, beets, cucumber, anything goes, and I LOVE how it tastes. The boost of energy that follows is unbeatable.

MzPriss

I love the green juice with kale and spinach and celery and parsley – I can feel my cells just sucking it up and smiling

SarsyPie

I make green smoothies, too! I normally do fruits, almond milk, soygurt, oats, chia in the AM, and then veggies/fruits for lunch. I love carrots and apples with spinach and kale!

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 :-)
