drank Ginger Snap by Whispering Pines Tea Company
1501 tasting notes

Even from the first sip, I get crisp ginger snaps in this blend, even with zero sweetener. A wonderful treat, and probably why this is my second order of it.

I’d send you some JustJames if it wasn’t a rooibos base. I do have lots of other Whispering Pines I can send you though!

I wonder if the prickly throat is an allergic reaction of some sort. Initially, i just didn’t like the taste of much rooibos blends, though a few were ok, but now the prickly pushes me further away.

It is an allergic reaction, and really common. JustJames, I did have something tonight in your honor with a black base, and it was good, although not fanblatasmic.

James, you need to list your allergies somewhere. I want to put a few things together if I’m coming over after Christmas. My BFF might come too, as we have friends there we might be able to crash with. :)

Hmm. I’ve noticed that scratchy throat feeling occasionally when I drink rooibos, but I never connected the two.

Profile

Bio

A few years ago, the obsession with tea started. The cupboard got bigger and bigger, more swaps occurred, group buys, secret rendezvous with local teapassionistas… and that’s how you end up with 500+ different kinds of tea in your home. At one time.

Almost all of the tea was given away, sold, or otherwise shared. A few relics still remain. I now travel full time with only two carryon bags to my name. One quarter of those bags are tea.

It’s still a challenge to avoid the chipmunk-like hoarding of The Teas, yet, the lightness of being from having so little compels me more.

If I have enough, I’m happy to share. If I’m in your area, I’d love to swap, meet for tea, and explore together.

As for the day-to-day stuff, I’m focused almost entirely on Love, (yes, with a capital L), Spirit/Self, transformation, travel and my writing and speaking work.

What kinds of teas do I normally like?

YES: flavored teas, fruity, dessert, chai, and spicy (REALLY spicy).

A FONDNESS FOR: all white teas, malty black teas, any herbal or medicinal teas, strange/weird teas you can only get in one place.

ALLERGIC TO: strawberries, lavender

DISLIKES: any added sugars, grains, lapsang souchong, and overly floral teas – I might enjoy a Jasmine Green every once in a while, but unless it’s a creamy floral tea (think roses in a chai, or the smoothness of a floral note in a French tea), I’ll likely pass. Earl Greys are a hit or miss with me; heavy on the cream or fruit notes and I might like it, heavy on the blergamot and I definitely won’t.
