Funny how I was able to send a sample of this to shmiracles and I haven’t even tried it yet haha
This is a tea from my roommates collection and I figured I should try it! Since we’re pretty much sharing all our teas (I have about 80, she has like.. 10. Which is still a good number!)
Dry, the gunpowder and ceylon really comes out. Musky and slightly sweet from the rose hips.
Steeping, I smell a lot more of the ceylon, with slight smokiness from the gunpowder. No hints of the Lemon balm or rose hips at all.
Drinking it, you get the nice bright ceylon, yet the smokiness of the gunpowder! And I do get mild hints of lemon and rose :)

And can I just point out that I FINALLY made myself my dinner that I’ve been wanting to make for so long! I have my Chicken Roulade (stuffed with provolone, thyme and rosemary), my rosemary and garlic roasted potatoes, and just some grilled veggies off to the side. Ahh DINNER IS GREAT and I’ve got a nice cuppa Not Dead to go along with it :)

Tea rating guide:
100-95: Best thing to ever touch my mouth and I want more. Restocking is a must
94-80: Love this tea. Restock if I can
79-70: Decent tea. Neither love nor hate.
69-60: I won’t be upset when it runs out. I’ll drink it but won’t restock.
59-30: I’ve done whatever I can to like this tea and I’ll finish the cup.
29-10: I’ve done whatever I can to like this tea. It may or may not have gone down the sink…
9-below: Let’s not even hide it. This definitely went down the drain.

I love tea.
I drink it.
I log it.
I have a good time.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

I first discovered my love for tea with jasmine teas because that’s all my mother would buy, so for the longest time, I thought that all teas were jasmine! And then in 4th grade, I watched the tea episode of Good Eats and that’s when the education started! I’d like to blame Alton Brown for starting this obsession because now I only like loose leaf tea.
It wasn’t until my second year of college that I actually expanded my tea taste buds. Special shout out to Cara McGee, Tea Queen for her Adagio Fandom blends. Because of Cara, I actually started drinking blacks, herbals and whites and pretty much everything else in between. I still have a special love for my jasmine though :)
I (try to) drink tea daily. Usually just straight up, no sugar or milk. This little obsession started young and just… kept going, I guess.

also I apologize in advance for lazy tasting notes and horrible grammar in everything I write. I was an avid fandom blogger on tumblr and tumblr talk can get in the way of everything kthxbai
