It’s another lapsang souchang kind of day. It’s gloomy and cold. The wind just goes right through you.

This is such a lovely smokey tea! It’s extremely smooth and mellow. Perfect for a sit back and read time.

I don’t really remember having any chestnuts before so it it ’s hard to compare that aspect. I may have had them but….? Anyway, this is a very tasty tea. It has a lovely aroma that fills the senses with relaxing goodness. Thanks KatBender for the very generous sample.

drank Bollywood Chai by DAVIDsTEA

I was hoping for a little more of an Indian chai taste. It really didn’t satisfy what I was looking for. It is attractive dry but the cardamom is so dried out and crushed that I felt bad about the quality of it. Not a bad chai but I have had much better. Thanks KatBender for sharing!

Having not had much experience much experience with pure teas, I can’t give much info on the puer. I love the strawberry and chocolate but I did need a touch of sweetener.

I don’t know how many resteeps I should get from this but I’m on 4Xs and going strong.

This definitely one for the wish list. I have two more sachets which I will cherish!

Thanks KatBender!!

Flavors: Chocolate, Strawberry

I can see why this is so popular among Steepsterites! It’s a lovely cup of caramel, vanilla, raisins and toffee flavors melded together. There’s other things in here but I can’t identify them without looking at the main tasting note. Even though it’s a little late in the evening, I’m enjoying this cup. Aren’t I daring to have caffeine in the evening? :-D

I wish I had more. Another thing I’ll miss when Stacy closes down Butiki!! :-(

Another in my huge backlog to tasting notes.
Thanks Inkling! What an enjoyable tea. I love the dessert teas and this really fits that description. Love the dark chocolate and strawberry with a nice black base. I’ve had a lot of dessert teas with rooibos lately and I’m getting a bit tired of them. This is another good substitute for sweets and guess what…. I’ve finally made my weight loss goal!!

I’ve lost 40 lbs, and am now in the Weight Watchers Lifetime program which will help in keeping off the weight. I’m walking 4.5 miles a day and doing strength training 30 min. 4X’ a week. Whoopie! I FEEL GREAT!!!

Flavors: Cake, Dark Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla

drank Peach Oolong by Prestogeorge
467 tasting notes

I’m so far behind in my logging. Yikes!

I got this from Lariel a while back (when?).

A nice China oolong with a strong scent of peach. Luckily it isn’t as overly peachy as it smells. Oolongs aren’t my favorite teas but I’m always ready to try them in case I find one I’m in love with.

Flavors: Peach

Thank you Inkling for this generous sample in our swap!

Love almond cookies and tea! How much better is an almond cookie tea! I added just a bit of vanilla stevia and then immersed myself in a lovely book with my lovely tea.

This isn’t the best almond cookie tea I’ve ever had but it is quite enjoyable. My favorite almond cookie tea the one from Georgia Tea Company.

Flavors: Almond, Cookie

Inkling

Ooo, going to have to try the one from Georgia Tea Company if it’s even better! :)

Retired first grade teacher. I tend to like dessert type/herbal teas as a substitute for sweet treats; flavored black teas and mates to get that energy that I am often lacking ;-p
My husband of 43 years thinks I’m nuts regarding the whole tea thing… but he bought me a Breville for Christmas, so what can I say. :-D
My other interests are reading (books go well with tea :D) and beading. I volunteer at my “old” school teaching reading and I volunteer for the blind. I am trying hard to lose weight ( I have now lost 40 lbs and I’m looking good in my skinny jeans, IMHO) I am now walking about 4.5 miles a day and I am trying to do some core work for about 30 min. 3x a week.

I have been watching Doctor Who for 33years. In case you can’t tell my avatar is two daleks drinking tea! I am always open to swapping Doctor Who books for tea. I have about 120 Doctor Who books that I am eager to send some to a fan. :D Let me know if you would like any books! I love that so many people have begun watching DW!

Also I love swaps, pm me if you’d like to do a swap.

Since I find others’ rating legends helpful, I added my own.

95-100 A once in a lifetime experience; the best there is; will keep this stocked until the cows come home

90-94 First rate; top notch; really terrific; will definitely buy more

80-89 Excellent; likely to become a favorite, will likely buy more

70-79 Very good; would enjoy again, might buy again if in the mood for this particular one or a better, similar version not available or it’s on a really good sale :-)

50-69 Good; wouldn’t pass up if offered, but probably wouldn’t buy again unless craving this particular flavor

Below 50 Meh! Wouldn’t bother drinking it again.
