Twelve Days of Tea 2021 – Day Three

I’ve always wanted to try this blend since Frank’s version but we always seemed to be “star-crossed”. Not this year however! gmathis is right; honeybush is meant for ice cream flavours.

It’s pretty tasty. I enjoyed it most yesterday afternoon, when I got excellent strawberry yogurt (or milkshake) flavours. Tonight it’s good strawberry, liquid sweet, with “almost cream”. I’m still having nausea problems in the evenings though, and I haven’t really enjoyed a single tea I’ve had at night in the last two days. So, I figure it’s not worth trying to catch or keep up with these advents. Going to take it slow and enjoy daylight tea~

Flavors: Creamy, Strawberry, Sweet, Vanilla, Yogurt

Oooh, looking forward to revisiting this one. I think I had some of the original blend, but can’t really remember what I thought of it.

My box is on its way now!!! (Anne very graciously combined shipping with my subs/other orders, with the tradeoff that I get the teas a bit late.) I don’t even know which to try first; I am so thrilled about this year’s selections.

Bio

I started my Steepster loose leaf adventure back in 2012. I can’t say I’m completely new anymore, but I still view oolong as a magical, extraterrestrial creature that unfurls in water.

My favourites are teas like Milk Oolong, Silver Needle,and Japanese Sencha/Gyokuro, or fruity and floral flavoured ones. However, I generally enjoy ALL the teas, including a good old cup of Earl Grey or Breakfast blend.

Subjective Rating System:
I don’t give a lot of low ratings out, since a) I tend to grab tea I know will appeal to me, and b) I don’t have a lot of strong dislikes.

90-100: Favourites. The Desert Island Teas.
80-89: Loved teas. Possibly staple-worthy.
70-79: Good teas, but I’m less likely to repurchase. Minor quibbles.
60-69: Ok teas. Likely a few preference and/or quality issues.
50-59: Cup of meh. Will do in a pinch.
11-49: Varying levels of undrinkable tea.
1-10: Nightmare tea from the chaos realms. This tea is the embodiment of the primordial swamp, an unholy abomination. It’s very gross and I’m almost positive it doesn’t exist.
