Resteeped as well, yummers. Preferred the one that Cavocorax sent me from Tea Desire, though.

Crazy! I was considering checking out DT’s version. Guess I’ll stick with the one I have!

I didn’t realise they didn’t have stores out your way, and that the shipping was $15. I could probably pick some stuff up from Tea Desire and send it to you cheaper, if you ever need it!

Ozli

I’ll send you some & you can see what you think! I’m gonna do the other one next and see if it was all in my head.

COOL, thanks. I’ve not looked at their stuff YET.

TeaLady441

Thanks! I can do a tea-off! :D

Fair enough. I don’t know enough about them to know what’s great or not either.

This smells amaaazing and it’s pretty good! I love coconut and it’s super tasty with raspberry. It’s a bit snappish, gonna steep it a bit less next time.

Mmm. This sounds good.Apparently I love coconut teas.

Ozli

Coconut is IRRESISTIBLE.

drank Blueberry Jam Organic by DAVIDsTEA

This tea is everything I hoped for! :D! It’s baaarely a black tea, though. A bit of tea in here, but mostly BLUEBERRIES. Got my David’s Tea boxing day stuff today – a little teapot (matches your mug, cavocorax!) and a beartail mug and little glasses and TEAS. \o/ Resteeping this due to laziness; we’ll see how it goes.

Sweet! I was tempted to get the teapot but didn’t because my mom just got me a glass one. Which glasses? The bubble cups?

Hehe – beartail mug!

Sounds like a good tea.I’m digging the berry teas now! I feel like I need more Shanti Raspberry tea, or more Adagio Tardis tea!

Ozli

I also got fantasy island which has raspberry apparently? But yeah, I reorg’d the tea shelf today and eeeep, I am drinking some down for a bit!! :P

Yes, the tiny glass-inside-a-glass ones! SO CUTE, so impractical. I needed the teapot because my infuser doesn’t fit my old teapot and it was impossible to get enough leaves under the waterline. You need more blooming teas for that pot!

TeaLady441

Haha. I’m trying to do the same. I think I’ll be at 100 once all my orders come in. /0\

So cute! You can empty your teapot without the tea getting cold. I think mine are the same size.

Ozli

I actually got rid of a bunch of OLD tea that I didn’t really enjoy anyway. Honestly: I was never going to drink it.

That’s what I’m doing right now XD! It’s good for having with art or computer or games, the things that make me forget I have a tea until it’s cold.

Reeeally nicely appley (yyy) and cinnamony and it makes me want apple cinnamon oatmeal. Not picking up any yogurt, though. Was a nice evening caffeine free option! Thx cavocorax! :D

Ozli

added brown sugar and milk in the resteep and it was yummy, if light. (bedtime snack!!)

TeaLady441

Mmmm. Brown sugar does wonders!

I could really get into green tea. This is nice and light and a bit flowery. 2nd steep seemed MORE flowery and less tea-y. But yeah. I should have bought more. :P

drank Summer Meadow by Tea Desire
299 tasting notes

This tastes really simple and plainish for the amount of things that are apparently jammed into this blend (black tea, pineapple bits, mango bits, apple treaters, hazelnut leaves, sour cherry halves, flavour, sunflower blossoms, rose hip peels, rose blossom leaves, mallow blossoms, marigold blossoms, peppermint leaves). To me, it was dark/strong black tea with a bit of citrus/flowery on top. Nothing identifiable. Maybe that’s the goal with a blend like that, idk. Very breakfast-tea for me!

Boiling 3 min, 30 sec

No lemons eh? I guess I was just confused by the number of add-ins.

Ozli

Well it says the taste is lemon in the description – it must be the “flavour”!

drank Goji Pop by DAVIDsTEA

So, Goji pop. Maybe I underleafed? Because ehhh, really light. The dry mix smells amazing, though, so maybe my expectations were too high. :P

That was last night.

TeaLady441

Yeah Idk about this one. The samples in-store never were that great, but I have some in my mini-tin so maybe it’ll be better when I make it.

Ozli

With double servings in a small cup maybe it’d be good? IDK, dude. It’d probably be ridic pricey to drink it that way, so better to not know, maybe? haha. (Though I’m going to do that with my last cup anyway – at some point.)

Profile

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.
