drank Hibiscus Splash (Formerly ME to WE Kenya) by DAVIDsTEA
606 tasting notes

Tea #6 of my cupboard revisits
I have totally gotten behind because for some unknown reason, I decided that I needed to crochet two blankets (one for each of my kids) for Christmas. I gave myself 5 weeks. WHY?!?!?! I’m crazy. The only way that I’ve been able to do it, is basically only letting myself crochet all the time while they are at school, and once they go to bed. I’m literally doing it as a full time job when they aren’t home right now. Thankfully, I think I’m going to make it!

Anyways, I made this one a couple of days ago and I put some fresh lemon juice in it, because I really like when I put lemonade in it. Well, this one is super tart, and fresh lemon is super tart, so after putting the two together, it was tart city over here. I should have stuck with lemonade because at least it has some sweetness to it and balances it all out.
So, I drank it, but I didn’t love it. My kids drank most of it.

I’ll try and do more teas for my challenge because I really did enjoy working on it. It will probably run into January.

Time very well invested! It never hit me as a kid all the late nights and snatched naptimes it took for Mom to make my Christmas surprises…most memorably, the Year of the Button Down Oxford Shirts when I was a wannabe preppy.

Updated Sept. 2021
I’m a 30-something-year-old writer. I finished my first novel last year, which I’m editing this year amongst the world’s craziness and hoping to some day get it published. I’ve also written several short stories that I’m looking to get published someday

I work as a paginator (I do page layout for our local weekly newspaper) and absolutely love it! I’m also an amateur photographer.
I’m the proud mommy of two sweet little boys.
I’m married to an absolute amazing man who “puts up” with my tea obsession.

I became obsessed with tea a few years after high school.I started with Orange Pekoe double double (milk not cream), and peppermint. Since that time, I’ve really opened up to other kinds of tea and I’ve well… I’ve kind of just went nuts since then.

I’m a loose leaf fan, but if there are no other options, I will drink bagged.

I would have to say my favourite kinds of tea are (in no particular order): black, puerh cakes, herbal and matcha.

Green teas still aren’t a favourite for me, but I’m working on it.

I still can’t get myself to like mate teas, as much as I try, I just don’t like their flavour.

I drink tea every single day. I absolutely love it. I can’t image my life without it.

I don’t log every time I drink a tea as I don’t want to spam everyone with tons of duplicate loggings, but I will log when I have a new tea, which happens on a regular basis and when I do a SIPDOWN! :D
