sooo i’m lazy and can’t seem to find a tea sent to me by VariaTEA (indirectly from Roswell Strange) soooo here it goes.
Joie de Vivre from Camelia S. I dind’t think i would like this one much given that it is a green and appeared to be floral in nature. Most people who have ever swapped with me know though, that i’ll try nearly anything…as evidenced by the alarming number of teas with bergamot in them that i’ve tried. BLECH. :) This one, was as i expected…a little too floral in nature for me in addition to the green base. I can handle small amounts of floral with black bases, but otherwise they generally make me cringe. However, as always…love trying new teas so thank you VariaTEA (and Roswell Strange)

BLERGAMOT. :D
hahaha
Every time I see “Earl Grey”, I think “BLERGAMOT! tee hee!” It’s getting to be an issue, Sil.
no more of an issue than ppl using it in teas and ruining perfectly delicious teas grin
My boyfriend loves tea, but says Earl Grey tastes like old dishwater. I’m introducing him to the term “blergamot”. So thank you for that.
haha glad i could help :)
Joie de Vivre is from my roommate, not Roswell Strange haha. And I didn’t think about it but on steepster it is called Rose & Cherry (http://steepster.com/teas/camellia-sinensis/21318-rose-and-cherry). Being in Montreal, I get the French names written on my bags. I am sorry you didn’t like it. I tried to send teas I knew you had not tried before and this one stood out. However, of the Camellia Sinensis teas I have tried, this is one of my least favorites. I should have just sent more Ombrelle de Papier :P.
oopsy.. guess i had RS on the brain. thank your roomate for me! I like new teas haha I did think it might be the rose and cherry but played it safe :)
