drank Spiced Blackberry Citrus by 52teas
6444 tasting notes

So I didn’t know this had bergamot until I started drinking but even with it, this is pretty good. It’s been in a travel thermos for most of the day but there is still a juicy blackberry flavor followed by bright citrus, all on top of spices. Sorry for the genetic description but I drank this earlier and that’s what I remember.

I’m going to have to revisit this.

Do you still have some? If not I can add it to our swap

Good question, good question. Possibly. If only I had a spreadsheet. :)

No need to trouble yourself, but if you remember, cool. I’ve been a bit sidetracked myself with things here.

How are you feeling?

I added it to the swap. And then I added other teas to the swap. I got to 66 so I am ready whenever you are :P.

Also, I am feeling alright. Thank you for asking. I have a neurologist appointment Monday and hopefully that’ll be the last of the tests.

Hopefully, it is all a bit nothing and life will go on as usual.

I’m currently behind with things, but this week I will make an effort to ramp up to 66. I’ll keep you posted.

My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!

For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu’erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, toffee, cookie, cream, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well.

I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won’t drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can’t stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.

Tea Ratings Guide (as of December 10, 2017)
90-100 Teas I NEED on hand at all times
80-89 Teas I want to keep around for a cup every now and then
70-79 Teas I am glad I have around and can experiment with but probably don’t need more than what’s in my cupboard
60-69 Teas I would not turn down a cup of from a friend but that would probably be enough
50-59 Teas I can see why someone would enjoy but are not for me
Under 50 Teas I really did not like and most likely got dumped
