52teas 12 Teas of Christmas 2023 – Day 1

Kiki’s back!

“Ok yeah, this is good. Idk if this is good yet, but this is good. It smells originally like raspberry jello. I initially said strawberry but it’s raspberry, maybe the currant, who knows.

heavy tea huffing I’m gonna pass out.

Maybe a little vanilla or somethin’. And then it’s got some kind of, I’m thinking black tea, or some kind of dark green tea because first of all, it’s very dark.

It’s like candy, tastes like candy, and it doesn’t even have any sugar in it, so. And it smells good, it smelled up the whole room. I could smell it from 3 feet away!

I like it I would drink it again. I could drink it more than 1 time again. I could drink it as iced tea or hot tea. I could drink it anyway. Kinda like Dr. Seuss – I could drink it in the chair, I could drink it anywhere.

I had to have somebody move their car in front of the house. Tell them my husband (me, lol! she calls me her husband) has to park there.

Maybe it’s a white tea. Oooh I’m getting dizzy. lots of quiet sipping

Kinda tastes Christmassy. I can’t see. It steamed up my glasses. So I’m done, almost done. Kinda like a juniper berry or something undertone. So what is it?

Cranberry Creme Black Tea

burps Oh my god, haha

Ahhh, cream – that’s the vanilla flavor in it I think. See, holiday-like. burp Oooh I drank it so fast. I like it, I give a big 9."

Profile

Bio

This place, like the rest of the internet, is dead and overrun with bots. Yet I persist.

Eventual tea farmer. If you are a tea grower, want to grow your own plants or are simply curious, please follow me so we can chat.

I most enjoy loose-leaf, unflavored teas and tisanes. Teabags have their place. Some of my favorite teas have a profound effect on mind and body rather than having a specific flavor profile.

Favorite teas generally come from China (all provinces), Taiwan, India (Nilgiri and Manipur). Frequently enjoyed though less sipped are teas from Georgia, Japan, and Nepal. While I’m not actively on the hunt, a goal of mine is to try tea from every country that makes it available to the North American market. This is to gain a vague understanding of how Camellia sinensis performs in different climates. I realize that borders are arbitrary and some countries are huge with many climates and tea-growing regions.

I’m convinced European countries make the best herbal teas.

Personal Rating Scale:

100-90: A tea I can lose myself into. Something about it makes me slow down and appreciate not only the tea but all of life or a moment in time. If it’s a bagged or herbal tea, it’s of standout quality in comparison to similar items.

89-80: Fits my profile well enough to buy again.

79-70: Not a preferred tea. I might buy more or try a different harvest. Would gladly have a cup if offered.

69-60: Not necessarily a bad tea but one that I won’t buy again. Would have a cup if offered.

59-1: Lacking several elements, strangely clunky, possesses off flavor/aroma/texture or something about it makes me not want to finish.

Unrated: Haven’t made up my mind or some other reason. If it’s puerh, I likely think it needs more age.
