…..berry berry good??

XD! I’m sorry. I love this tea, though! Most of my ZenTea order was caffeine free stuff, I had to get some interest going in that direction because I have the worst sleep hygiene and need all the help I can get. :P

So, I don’t generally like ginger, in food or in tea, and I love peaches (love love love) but am usually disappointed by them in teas… yet I still really needed to try this tea! It’s good, too. I’m not going to rate it just yet, but it’s definitely not boring! Not SUPER peachy, but not super.. gingery.. either. It really would make an amazing iced tea. I think K especially would loooove it.

ALSO, Zen Tea spoiled me with samples?! I am super excited to see their Earl Grey Cream in there because I can’t find my last bit from cavocorax and I NEED to try that again to see if the curry(?!)esque taste was just me being sick or WHAT. XD! Anyway, I have a satisfyingly large pouch of jasmine dragon pearl green tea (necessary for survival!) and I don’t have to scare the postman peeping out the door constantly anymore.

2 steeps of this yesterday, for some reason the 2nd didn’t turn out as good as it usually does. I love this tea, but I hate messing around with temperatures.

Just made a Zen Tea order :D this tea, OF COURSE (because I only had a small pack last time) and a few caffeine free things (because I only have 2 that I LOVE right now, & something must be done about that!) >:D

Nice! I just bought a few rooibos/honeybush things from Della Terra Teas because of the same thing! Those Dragon Pearls sound interesting. I think I’ll order from Zen Tea sometime too. I need more coconut oolong!

Ozli

I’m putting some of both into the mail for you on Monday! :D :D

Ozli

You should prob see your package on Wed/Thurs! :D

TeaLady441

“some” is used pretty loosely! Those packs were pretty big!

Ozli

oh yeah, because i knew i was getting more jasmine pearls ANY DAY and because i can take or leave the oolong, but you love it. :D

TeaLady441

:) Well thanks again. You made my day.

K & I finished off the last bit of this. So good! Not something I’d want often, but I’ll probably get it again sometime.

It was unusual enough for me to accept its magical namesake. :p

drank Raspberry Truffle by Butiki Teas
299 tasting notes

Hit with a nostalgia blast because dry, this smells just like the little touristy knick-knack shop my mom had when I was little. Potpurri O__O but I don’t really taste raspberry OR chocolate, even though I know they’re in there, I saw them. My brain insists I am tasting flowery things to go with that potpurri smell, I guess. Nummy, though!

Preparation
Boiling 4 min, 15 sec

drank Fantasy Island by DAVIDsTEA

Needed something tasty this morning, child has been a CHALLENGE lately. This hit the spot perfectly… and NOW I’m ready for something badass.

Oh, also: have never really tasted raspberry in this? More like a coconut-fruity candy flavour that is nevertheless YUMMERS.

Boiling 4 min, 30 sec

drank Kenyan Tinderet by DAVIDsTEA

Probably should have done this one in the finer of my two infusers AND also turned the volume up on my phone so I’d hear the steep alarm? YOWZA, that’s a strong tea! Nothing coffeeish about it, imo, but it could PROBABLY strip paint. :D?

Preparation
Boiling

BTW, cavocorax THANKS FOR THE HEAPS OF TEA I TOTALLY FORGOT TO EXPECT :D :D :D

TeaLady441

Hahaha. SURPRISE TEA! :O

Bio

I drink a lot of tea (and coffee!) and do other things sometimes, like hug cats (3 black cats!) and homeschool a child (the Snick, Snickety Snickface the Sharkboy) and make art and draw things and watch too much television and pretend I’m not home when people knock on the door!

I LOVE A LOT OF THINGS.

My ratings probably skew high because of this, but I can’t help being optimistic, it is the natural way of things.
