Bio
My profile pic is of a pink dahlia at Golden Gate Park.
Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.
I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, chai, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!
Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)
Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.
I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta
95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around
94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase
89-80 Pretty good, above average
79-70 Acceptable
69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it
59-50 Ick
49 and below Nasty

I’d love to see a Mango-Chili tea.
U mean, like this? http://www.davidstea.com/our-teas/green-tea/flavoured-green/mango-diablo
Yeah, but I think I’m through with artificial flavoring in my tea after Davids Cranberry Pear. Like the name, though.
I think that’s why I tend not to drink too many flavored teas-artificial tasting. :-//
Regarding flavored teas, I find that some are better than others but I find myself drinking more plain tea lately.
ScottB- Have you tried the chili spiced dried mangoes at Trader Joes?
SimplyJen-Sadly not. No Trader Joe’s anywhere around here. They sound delicious, though.
