Daylon R Thomas drank Oracle by Artemis Tea & Botanical

1725 tasting notes

There’s way more ingredients than I can add. It’s also got poppy, mugwort, blackberry leaf, gotu kola, decaf green tea, and blue butterfly pea flower. I’ve always wanted to try Egyptian Blue Lotus because of its history and connections to both Greek and Egyptian mythology, though flavor is hard to describe. I’m glad this one is blended.

The tea brewed is insanely blue. The taste is floral and herbal, getting more from the blackberry leaf more than anything else. I kinda taste jasmine, but it’s muddled. Definitely get some green peas. Helped me sleep plainly, yet no knock outs or hallucination thankfully. I know the effects are mild anyway. I wonder how it would be if I put it in some beer…Anyway, not decided on it. I might add sugar and or cream and have some fun with it.

Flavors: Blackberry, Floral, Herbs, Peas, Violet

Me:

I am an MSU graduate, and current alternative ed. high school social studies and history teacher. I formerly minored in anthropology, and I love Egyptian and classical history. I love to read, write, draw, paint, sculpt, fence(with a sword), practice calisthenics on rings, lift weights, workout, relax, and drink a cuppa tea…or twenty.

I’ve been drinking green and black teas ever since I was little living in Hawaii. Eastern Asian influence was prominent with my friends and where I grew up, so I’ve been exposed to some tea culture at a young age. I’ve come a long way since I began on steepster and now drink most teas gong fu, especially oolong. Any tea that is naturally creamy, fruity, or sweet without a lot of added flavoring ranks as a must have for me. I also love black teas and dark oolongs with the elusive “cocoa” note. My favorites are lighter Earl Greys, some white teas like What-Cha’s Kenyan offerings, most Hong-Cha’s, darker Darjeelings, almost anything from Nepal, Green Shan Lin Xi’s, and Greener Dong Dings. I’m in the process of trying Alishan’s. I also tend to really enjoy Yunnan Black or Red teas and white teas. I’m pickier with other teas like chamomile, green teas, and Masalas among several.

I used to give ratings, but now I only rate teas that have a strong impression on me. If I really like it, I’ll write it down.

I’ll enjoy a tea almost no matter what, even if the purpose is more medicinal, for it is my truest vice and addiction.
