Second steep!
It’s already proving it’s monetary worth to me with the quality of steep #2. The liquor is just as rich and deeply coloured. The taste is even more smooth and inviting.

I LOVE the aftertaste, it’s amazing! Tastes like I just finished eating a real peach.
In fact, it tastes like I just aped out inside a giant peach a la James and the Giant Peach.

And so, I rename my little oolong bag to: Daisy and the Giant Peach

ohhh em gee, my first Oolong what do I do?! It’s steeping!! What do I do! It smells so good :D
It even looks buttery, oh my gosh I love peach! IMSOEXCITED

Why yes, I am dramatic. and yes, I do have a bachelor of fine arts degree. I studied 4 years to be this dramatic so deal with it! :D That’s what I tell my poor boyfriend anyways.

Speaking of anyways – THIS TEA

First steep: A little over 4 min.
The colour of this tea is so vibrant! The smell is more muted than the dry smell of course, but it’s gorgeous and I want to bathe in it. My first Oolong o: It’s very tasty, and I really didn’t know what to expect! It has a very full body, I feel like I could use this tea as a lunch replacement when I’m still full from breakfast haha.
I like it, it is earthy, as it the way of the oolong I suppose. I can’t wait to compare this to the milk oolong I also purchased.
It’s sweet and hits the spot! I’m very impressed.

Subsequent steeps to come. I’m savouring it in the meantime.

Yummeh!
I went in to David’s today to buy 4 teas, and this was my to-go iced tea. It tastes kind of like a fruity bubblegum. It’s super yummy. I love it. The end.

Until we meet again, G&F.

Hokay you guys. Okay. Okay. I can’t even putinto words what i did with this tea last night. Okay?! Deep breaths.

So I wanted to try making tea cookies, with tea infused butter. I chose this tea because a black tea seemed smart for the first try. Oh my god. DO IT. Okay I digress, I chose a simple Whipped Shortbread recipe because it would totally allow the flavour to come through if I did it right. (I used 1 cup margarine, 3/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 3/4 cup flour).

To make the butter (margarine because I’m cheap) it’s just one tablespoon of loose tea to every tablespoon of butter. In my case, I eye balled it and used way more than I should have because it was my first time, but the flavour was over the top so you don’t need to use that much!

Anyways, the smell of the butter was just.. honey and raspberry and I wanted to eat the leaves right then and there. But I made the cookies. And they were amazing, I can’t even describe in this super long rating. SO – got a cheap black tea that is bitter or meh? Make cookies.

I’ll be sending this out at a sample to a few people, so if it’s meh to you too, give a recipe a try!

Edit: If I knew an cheap and safe way to send these to each and every one of you, I would in a heatbeat. I have plans now for blazing strawberry cookies with a little bit of pepper and strawberries in the mix

Still delish. Iced again.
Except I swear the people at DavidsTea don’t like me for some reason :\
It better not be because I come in too much, I want their tea and they better want my business haha.
Anywho! I can really taste the peppercorns today. I think it’s because I had a lot of Blazing Strawberry lately, so I can more easily pick that taste out now.

My mom in law gave me one to try ._.
Ah hibiscus run!!
I steeped for maybe 2 minutes haha, and it’s pretty darn sour.
It has a yummy aftertaste though – like those Rocket candies, or those suckers made of powder.

My morning cup!

Paired with Dad’s Goodie Rings for Breakfast.

My healthy choice :)

I was going to adjust the rating, but no I think it is spot on!
I recently had my first David’s Tea Sipdown (thanks TEB :D ) of a mix of this tea and the rest of my Swampwater. It was yummy, but I don’t think I’ll restock next summer if it shows up again.
But who knows, it’s a year from now. Maybe I will. haha!

I have to adjust my rating on Luscious Watermelon I think, because this tea just stole my heart.
I can’t believe I hadn’t tried this tea yet. It is AMAZING. (Iced in store)

Incredibly fruity and juicy, I’m getting lots of ripe mangoes and a fuzzy peach sort of after taste, which I am loving. The only bad thing is that I haven’t tried it until now, when summer is reaching it’s bitter end. le Sigh.

Iced time!

So I did the hot brew over ice at home, praying my glasses wouldn’t shatter. Haha not my way of choice for sure, mostly because my ice cubs taste slightly like my freezer – not noticable in pop or juice, but def noticable in tea. So yuck. But other than that, yum!

So I have a big pot in the fridge for tonight, hot-cold brewing. haha I used my usual method for iced teas that aren’t green or black (aka bitter) – just fill the pot with hot water and leave it in the fridge with the tea bag still in it over night. Yum.

I stole a bit of it last night as it was still warm, poured it over ice with a splash of white zinfandel. IM IN LOVE!!! Do this. You deserve it. It’s so so so so so good.
