I don’t play favorites, but…

:)

I want to forget how long I spent on this tea :p
I actually made four batches of rock candy to test for water temperature… that was interesting, but I finally got it to not completely dissolve over three steeps!

Look at this ingredients list though:
Brazilian mate, green rooibos from South Africa, rock candy (sugar, corn syrup, food coloring, flavor), apple, marshmallow root, beet root, strawberry, carrot flakes, flower petals, flavoring

Not going to lie… I used lily so I could name the tea and jasmine dragonwell did not sound to me so I went with this :)

Part of me thinks I’m crazy for spending a few hours on roasting jackfruit seeds… but I just had to!
Jackseed is said to taste like walnut but I found them to be quite mellow so I put a tiny bit of vanilla on them before the final roasting session. I can’t wait until I have a dehydrator because I will for sure have jackfruit pieces in my teas and that will make me smile

As much as I would love to explain the journey this tea took me on, I’m going to be doing the best bout being objective when I write about my teas. I will say that is quite different than what I was expecting when I tasted it

This tea was made for my brother who likes citrus fruits and chai tea. Thankfully I recently started corresponding with someone who actually had lemon and limes available so this has lime in it as well. Thankfully he likes it because I gave him a few ounces as a gift :)

I was drinking this yesterday… but sadly I stopped at steep 5 because I was pu’d out.
This had a deep complex flavor to it that makes me wish that I gave it a few more hot baths, but I’m still learning my limits on teas and types per day (which seems to be about 20 cups per type day before I’m bored/tired of it).

:(
This tea makes me sad in an odd way: This has been one of the more pricey teas that I’ve owned, but it has been just chilling in my cabinet until tonight. Jasmine sounded like a nice nighttime drink so I got this one out as I was very curious about it for awhile (mainly because of it’s cost).
This is amazing. Just… amazing.
The smoothness, the flavor, the aroma… this is a delicate tea.
When I finish these off I will be buying some of David’s Tea’s version to see if it compares because this tea is just too pricey. If anyone has 4g of David’s version let me know and I’ll swap :)

o.O
This taste very similar to a Japanese sencha…

Surprisingly great

This thing is huge…
I ended up only steeping this six times because I didn’t want to keep drinking it. It’s good, a nice sheng with less bitterness than many that I have drank.
