Bio
I’ve been drinking loose tea since 2010 and my tastes have changed a lot over those years. For the last few, I’ve been a fan of unflavoured Chinese blacks and shu puerh. I still drink other things, but that’s where I am.
I live in a rural area with my husband, cat, and soon to be firstborn. I love tea, reading, doctor who, knitting, crosswords, board games, the marvel universe, and lots of other things.
I’m not often rating teas numerically any more but I want to leave this to explain my past ratings:
I try to only log teas once or twice because I drink a lot of the same ones repeatedly. My rating is based on my perception of the tea at first tasting and is adjusted if anything notable occurs in subsequent cups. I may also factor in the price and customer service but try to note that when I can.
81 – 100: These are great teas, I love them, regularly stock them or savour them as unique treats.
71 – 80: These are solid. I drink them, I like them, I may or may not keep them on hand regularly. This is still good stuff.
61 – 70: Just okay. I can drink it, but it doesn’t stand out to me. Might be lower quality, not to my taste, or outside my comfort zone.
41 – 60: Not likely to keep drinking…hoping hubby will enjoy!
0 – 40: No thank you, please. Take it away and don’t make me finish the cup.

Have you had the Teavana chai? I know, I know – it’s Teavana. But their blend is the best. I have plenty if you want some. PM me. :)
I’ve never had Teavana…Though I’ve got the impression that they’re the Walmart of teas, LOL. Teavana doesn’t exist in my province…and maybe not in Canada at all? (Obviously online exists though.. :D)
Uniquity – if you want some, let me know, I can send you some. Not sure if it’s in Canada or not. Teavana is really expensive that’s why I always groan when I reference it. But I’ve been all over trying chais (I’ve gotten around – heehee) and they have the best. Anyhoo, just PM me if you want it. :)
