It’s kind of a yucky, overcast day today. I don’t really mind since I get to work from home in my favorite flannel pants. They are hideous. I love them! At my company we have a joke that they are my lucky pants and whenever I wear them, we get new business. And today we did.

So here I am on a yucky day, snuggled up in my flannel pants and having a tea marathon! Life is good.

I got this one in a box last week and while I have opened the tin and looked at it a few times, hadn’t tried it until today. A person can only take so much awesome in one day.

I really like the way the blend looks, and I don’t really know why. It reminds me a little of chocolate granola? I have no idea, but it appeals to me. Brewed, it is all yummy chocolatey with a hint of orange. I’m not sure about the marshmallow, but it is probably creating a roundness I would miss if it wasn’t there. I thought the flavors came out the most at the bottom of the cup when it was cooled a bit. Really satisfying! I think if it arm wrestled the raspberry truffle, the truffle would win though. I like that one a tiny bit better.

Bio

Mom of two practically grown girls, extremely happily married to a man who is amused by my obsession with tea, and company owner who works from home. Life is good.

Likes/dislikes: I love black teas, especially strong/malty ones. I am ok with flavored teas if the base is strong. I like some whites. I really don’t like any tea that tastes “green” – if I wanted to drink something that tastes like green beans, I would cook some green beans. I am not big on green teas or genmaichas. I am learning to like puerhs.

If we are trading, I have a STRONG aversion to coconut, banana and licorice. I love citrus, vanilla and spice. Not a fan of florals.
