Shinobicha sent me a couple bags of this tea to try out. Thank you!

I love the cute pyramidal shape of the bags. Before steeping, it smells like creamy vanilla or sweet powdered milk.

After steeping, it smelled like a light creamy vanilla. My oh my is this tasty! Great blend. Creamy and tastes great with a little bit of brown sugar. I pretty much guzzled the whole tea down.

Must… finish… this… tea! I made chai today using this. yum! I like to use a little bit of tea.

Cardboard. Or maybe I’m tasting the boxes I’m using to pack up. Either way I expected a floral tone even if it is a light floral. Nothing. White teas (on my tongue) are usually so good. Why did this fail? I wish it hadn’t.

Off to try another tea!

I have a hard time writing about this tea. The leaves are a nice mix of black and golden brown. I can’t describe the scent. The liquor was a light brown. I didn’t use any sugar, and upon tasting it, theres something in the back of my throat. Perhaps some astringency. I’ll try this again with sugar. Its on the “lighter” side of black teas.

I was thirsty but I couldn’t decide on a tea. I had my boyfriend choose for me. :) Almond green tea was a good choice. Yum!

I was sad to see my tin empty today. I had finished it off! I love the fruitiness and sweetness to this. Must get more Phoenix oolongs or I might purchase a large bag of this from adagio. Yum!
