I finished another tin of this today, and have transferred the one Dexter gave me into my cupboard.

YAY!

Favourite chai. So good. Yum yum yum.

Yum! Lots of cinnamon, nicely spicy from the chili. Really enjoying tea with a bit of honey today.

Now… Do I keep it? Give it to a friend? Send it to Sil?

Idk.

Thank you so so much, MissB!!

I got this from keychange during the meetup. Yay! So excited! Only also so sad. Because it’s lost a lot of flavour. I should have used both bags for this cup, but I didn’t. Whoops. No fault of keychange’s, just an older tea that hadn’t been drunk and was in the “share or compost” pile.

It’s still tea, it’s just very weak. :)

This is mostly cinnamon with some other spices and maybe some apple as well.

Anyways, Sil hasn’t tried this one so I get to offload some of it by sending her a sample. :D :D (Although it might have been in the bag I brought her. IDK. I’ve stopped trying to remember what I’ve sent people.)

I had this plain today in a travel mug, and sadly half of it ended up soaking my bag. Guess I didnt get the lid on quite right. :/

The half I did get to drink was really tasty though. Almost better than my morning coffee. ;)

Had this morning as well. It’s even better with half and half instead of milk. :D

So creamy and delicious. Somewhat nutty which is maybe odd, but still good.

I should pack some of this up for Sil before I drink it all.

A tea from MissB! Thank you!

So since I love the intensity of a balled CTc tea, it’s no surprise that I love this one. im drinking it right now hot, with brown sugar and coconut milk. I need to open a can of sweetened condensed milk I think… That would be divine.

The flavour is super malty and thick, lightly spiced. I don’t know that I taste chocolate notes, but this is what I think of (minus the star anise!) when I think of a Thai tea.

Yum! So glad I snagged the rest of it at the tea meet.

2 minutes at 195F. Definitely resteepable. I’ll be making iced tea at some point as well.

I tried this tea yesterday along with everyone else, and I really really liked it. The toasty houjicha, the soft lemon… yum.

I was sad it wasn’t in stock, but I’ll definitely consider ordering when it comes around again.

I tried this one yesterday along with everyone else. I don’t know how Sil brewed it, but she tends to go with hotter temperatures than I do, for about the same amount of time.

So the base was a little too present, but I think it’d be fantastic with some milk and/or some sugar to bring the banana flavour out. I ordered some, because although I thought I was against banana flavours, it turns out that I love them. :)

Oh dear.

OH DEAR.

I may have just placed a huge group order for the new 52Teas, after trying them at the tea meetup at Sil ’s house! (It was so great to meet you all! Christina at the zoo (hehe!), keychange, Kittenna, IndigoBloom! Of course I already knew Sil and Cavocorax, and it was great seeing you too!)

I took a sample of this one, and ordered it without trying because, duh, it’s maple and cheesecake and tieguanyin. Even if I didn’t love it, it smells so amazing I’d be happy to spend the $4 on a sample pack and sit there sniffing it.

But the tea delivers. It’s really quite delicious. Steeped at 175F for 3 minutes, just because. The leaves mostly unravelled and the tea is gentle and buttery with a huge kick of maple flavour. I think it’d be fantastic with a little maple syrup or sugar added, and even with milk.

So I’m sitting here at home, drinking a friends tea out of my new Niagara starbucks mug, wishing that I didn’t have to go back to work tomorrow. That I had more time to explore Toronto. That none of us got sick.

Thanks so much for having me over, Sil!
