Backlog. I made this exactly as instructed, and it smelled like “my typical morning black tea” but I remember being surprised about how sweet and smooth it was! Not bitter at all. Great tea!

I realize how often I reach for Kusmi. Pretty darn often. Made a huge pot of this for my boyfriend and I. We are both sick now!

drank Snow Sprout by Golden Moon Tea
1629 tasting notes

I was preparing some games for my best friend’s bridal shower when I realized I needed a basket…. I looked around and saw Golden Moon Tea’s pretty container. The top cover is perfect! I decided to take a break to read some steepster reviews and was totally inspired by laurenpressley’s Golden Moon Tea post with photos. I haven’t touched my digital SLR in over a year and had been content with point and shoot.

I went back into my pantry, picked Snow Sprout and was finally exposed to Golden Moon Tea. I set things up and started shooting again :) and tea tasting of course! The dry leaf… I didn’t realize that the tea was barely enough for one sample with multiple steeps. The leaves were curled long and light green. The scent was faintly floral. Pretty! I’ll post the photos up on my flickr at another time!

After steeping, the liquid was a light pink brown tinge. It is so light and I almost thought that this was a white instead of green tea. There is a hint of florals and greens and sweetness to it. Very nice and delicate.

drank Peppermint by Adagio Teas

Mixed this with A&D DFT Dragonwell for my boyfriend who’s sick with sore throat! Not bad combination, but I mistakenly added honey into mine as well. I should have left it plain, but its alright :) Good night all!

drank Sweet Potato Pie by Adagio Teas

Bumped up my rating just a tad. I finished my tin of sweet potato pie today. I had this with milk and sugar. I’m having such a rough Saturday morning. I just need to drink more tea :)

Smooth and delicious almond green tea. There is something refreshing about this tea. Almost like a mint in the background but I know my taste buds are deceiving me. Yum!

I can’t remember if I got the green sampler from them or not but now I’m hoping I did since this is in it. I suppose opening my order when it shows up will really be a surprise! :)

Meghann sent me a sample and I finally got around to trying it today. :)

Hello warmth! It is so cold outside! The flavor was very unexpected! I had expected more mint but I got more vanilla and a nice hint and aftertaste of mint. It is so creamy and warm. Just a lovely blend. I added a little agave and milk. It made the vanilla stand out even more. Yum! SO warm. Just right for this cold day.
