drank Pumpkin Spice by Shuswap Infusions Tea
1040 tasting notes

GCTTB
I’m not getting much pumpkin out of this, but I really like it. It’s more gingerbread – maybe with a hint of cocoa. Warm, soothing, a little spicy – definitely black tea in the back but as a nice addition rather than intrusive. Yep this what I needed on an brutal cold evening.

LOL I’m not sure. I was born in Manitoba so I’m blaming my ancestors….

pst It makes a great latté too. ;)

We got a huge dump of snow here in BC – 20+ cm in less than a day. Just as well I don’t have anything to do that requires leaving the house. Also laughing at Vancouver’s panicked flailings at having actual snow to deal with.

Jillian we got about 15cm and then it turned brutal cold has been below -40 for the last couple of days and expected for the next couple of days….
I could see this being good as a latte – there was only about enough for a cup and half – is gone now.:))

Just rain in Vancouver! Lots and lots of rain. I keep hoping for a snow day, since I’m spoiled and snow days are paid days off work…

C.S. Lewis – “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”

I needed to update my profile. I joined Steepster 03Mar13. I am just amazed at how much my tastes have changed since then.
When I discovered loose leaf tea about a year and half ago, I didn’t know anything other than my local Davids and Teavana/Teaopia. Stumbling onto Steepster CHANGED EVERYTHING.
Hello, my name is Dex I’m a tea addict.
I’ve been through the “I need to try every single tea out there” phase. I really hope the worst of that has passed. I’ve learned enough to know that I only need to try HALF of all the teas out there. LOL
When I started this journey, I was all about the flavored rooibos and fruity tisanes. Don’t get me wrong there is still room for dessert (chocolate/caramel/nutty) Rooibos teas in my cupboard and I still do enjoy them, BUT I am quickly learning to appreciate the some of the straight teas of the world.
Big bold (but not icky)pu’erh is suddenly my favorite, followed by woody/roasted oolongs. I’m just starting to explore straight black teas, and have found some that I really like.
Generally speaking I’m not into greens at all, only like the occasional green oolong, and white teas are just too mild for my tastes (unless they are fruit flavored). I still enjoy really good fruit tisanes, but am now cold steeping them.
I don’t like floral/herbal blends, and mint anything is not on my preferred list.
I am still exploring new teas, adapting to my changing tastes, understanding more every day how little I really know about tea. Ultimately I would love to find approximately 50 teas that I just “can’t live without” and always have them in my cupboard. That might not be practical, but that what I’m searching for. It’s going to be a fun journey.

All in all, I love this site. I’ve met some wonderful people, and have gotten to try some amazing teas because of them. It really restores your faith in humanity when you get a note saying “oh by the way I sent you some tea”. Wonderful, generous, people here.
