Iced Latte Sipdown (204)

Didn’t love this one. I should have known because I don’t love Earl Grey unless they’re flavoured and I don’t love matchas unless they’re flavoured. So flavouring them as each other wasn’t really for me.

Strange VariaTEA TTB: Tea 20

Could not decide what tea I wanted at all so I blindly reached into my Sipdown box and pulled this out. I snagged this teabag from the SVTTB. Thanks Roswell Strange for the chance to revisit this!

This was rated 80 when I had it so long ago, again thanks to Roswell Strange. Drinking it today I wondered if it would hold up and honestly it has a great berry flavour, especially for a teabag. Super jammy without being overly sweet. It’s really lovely!

Iced Latte Sipdown (206)

This was good as an iced latte. The banana came through very clearly with some French toast sweetness. It was an 8 oz serving so I wasn’t bored by the French toast flavour and mostly could focus on the banana.

Roswell Strange did a random pick and it was this sample. Alas, I’m not a fan because it’s essentially Forever Nuts but sweeter. That’s a no from me.

Sipdown (208)

I drank this the other day and work got away from me so badly that I didn’t even get a chance to write a note. I gave away most of this despite really enjoying this blend. A friend visited and tried graveyard mist and loved it so much. He’s a green tea fan and a new 52 Teas convert. Consequently, I gave him all the 52 Teas green teas I had because I knew he’d appreciate them more than I would. That said, I couldn’t let this go without keeping one more serving for myself.

Matcha Smoothie Sipdown (209)

Been a while since I had a matcha smoothie and that’s my favourite way to have this matcha so it’s the perfect goodbye. Strawberry, banana and this matcha is the perfect amount of sweet and caffeine for the morning on a #matchamonday!

Iced Latte Sipdown (210)

Yesterday was Roswell Strange’s birthday so I had a cake tea! Happy birthday!!!

I also wanted my iced chai but my Spice Girl Eats order hasn’t arrived yet. So, instead I made this as an iced latte and it was…ok. Yeah, I thought this would be better but it was just a typical chai. I would probably drink Pumpkin Chai instead of this if I am being. Honest but if this is easier to access, it’s not a bad option.

My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!

For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu’erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, toffee, cookie, cream, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well.

I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won’t drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can’t stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.

Tea Ratings Guide (as of December 10, 2017)
90-100 Teas I NEED on hand at all times
80-89 Teas I want to keep around for a cup every now and then
70-79 Teas I am glad I have around and can experiment with but probably don’t need more than what’s in my cupboard
60-69 Teas I would not turn down a cup of from a friend but that would probably be enough
50-59 Teas I can see why someone would enjoy but are not for me
Under 50 Teas I really did not like and most likely got dumped
