Thanks so much to those of you who either thought of me or replied to my gross tasting note yesterday LOL. I ended up giving myself an early night, and about a million hours of sleep later, I’m feeling a lot better. Any takers for the remainder of my eight candles, though? If not, I’ll probably just post in the take it away thread. There’s so much left!

I’m very close to a sip down with this tea; I think I have enough left for one more serving. I actually think I might reorder it, although I’ll have to wait until I try other tea from the tea merchant (like the French earl grey and the Silk dragon sample I was so generously given). I typically enjoy this tea very much, although I find I can’t always reproduce the same perfect cup, so it might be a tad fussy in that regard. still though, I might be getting more.

I’m glad you’re feeling better :) If you really want to get rid of the rest of the Eight Candles blend, I’d be up for trying it… But if it’s just the association to well, the rather unfortunate incident, maybe just give it a while to distance the two? The association could fade?

It’s all yours! I’ll send it out in the new year, if that’s alright. And feel free to look through my cupboard and let me know if there’s anything else you want me to toss in. I smelled it again and nearly threw up again. LOL I think I just can’t do marshmallows in tea or something.

Of course that’s alright :) Hmmm… Maybe just a cup or two worth of Boston Blend and Fruits d’Alsace? That’s a shame about the marshmallows, though. I kinda had the same experience with Peach HoppiTea, though the smell was so bad I couldn’t even bring myself to make a cup worth. I gave it away to VariaTEA instead.

Glad I’m not the only one who has such an immediate and violent reaction to random teas! And sure, I’ll put together a package come January and send it along (I think you might like Boston!).

Well, it’s been slightly over six months since I’ve joined steepster, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this community. Like many of you, I began my foray into the world of loose-leaf tea by discovering David’s Tea, and although I’ve ventured out and have discovered many other companies that I’m extremely fond of, there are still many of David’s teas that I hold close to my heart and I will always appreciate it as a starting point for my journey.

As for my preferences, I tend to prefer bold black tea, flavoured and unflavoured alike, and I almost always take my blacks with cream and sugar. This isn’t to say that I don’t enjoy a good, flavoured white though, and I’m slowly making my way through the incredibly confusing world of oolongs and greens. I am also not a fan of rooibos, although I am starting to suspect green rooibos may be ok, but you know how it is: when you’ve decided you detest a certain ingredient, you’ll notice it everywhere—perhaps even where it doesn’t exist!

Things other than tea: I’m engaged to be married to my best friend, and feel like the richest woman on the planet because of it. I am also a veracious reader, and I also happen to have an obsession with fragrances, and have amassed quite a collection, although it pales in comparison to some collections out there! As a result of this obsession, I also follow several fragrance blogs, and am always up for a chat about scent. I’m also almost completely blind, and this does indeed mean that I come complete with a guide dog, who unlike me, hales from the sunny California campus of Guide dogs for the Blind. I think I’ve rambled on long enough, but if there’s anything you’d like to know or if you just feel like chatting to someone, please don’t hesitate to send me a message.
