From the Great Canadian TTB.

So far tonight I have been 0 for 2 on trying teas from the TTB. Just not finding one that I like, but that is the point of the box, right? To sample other teas.

I was a bit skeptical of this one because I am not a huge rooibos or desert tea fan. This one does smell pretty good while brewing. It definitely smells like crème brulee. The taste is pretty decent. There is creamy caramel. Definitely a custard type taste, maybe kind of pastry like. I feel like I am getting a hint of pepper. Not too bad. I think I might turn out to like this one.

Right!!! Every tea is a learning experience. :))

This one is weird for me too, because when I first tried it about a year ago, I wasn’t a big fan of it, but then I recently tried it again and kinda liked it. It’s one of those ones that kinda grows on you a little bit.

Bio

I am a lifetime tea lover.

I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.

My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.

I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.

I love iced teas and cold brews.

My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.

I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
