I made this and topped it with toasted marshmallow whipped cream. I took one glorious sip of toasted marshmallow goodness and then my stepdad insisted I shower so the whipped cream melted. I tried drinking it but it was so thin. It had the toasted marshmallow flavor but it was like drinking water with whipped cream. So whipped cream on tea…not the best but this toasted marshmallow whipped cream is awesome.

Made as an iced tea lemonade with the rest of my Hibiscus Splash by DAVIDsTEA. Check out the full review here: https://steepster.com/rachel12610/posts/392683.

Basically it’s a hibiscus explosion with lemonade.

Now to decide how to use the toasted marshmallow whipped cream I bought…

Iced Tea/Lemonade Sipdown (209) mixed with For Tea’s Sake Over the Rainbow tea.

It felt like I had a lot more leaf left in the pack when I set out to make my iced tea/lemonade so when I realized I really only had 2 teaspoons, I improvised and added 2 pftsps of Over the Rainbow, another hibiscus heavy tea.

Honestly this whole thing basically tastes like a generic fruit/hibiscus blend. The lemonade is really the only thing keeping it drinkable because I dont think either tea is great.

Thank you for sharing CameronB but this was a big ole nope for me. It sounded super interesting but as soon as it hit my mouth I got a weird sweet vegetal waxiness that was just not okay.

I bought the holographic tumbler from DAVIDsTEA and after the delicious teapop from last night, I decided to try another. This tea and peach perrier just isnt as good. Both are distinct and just dont go together well. Oh well.

This. As a tea pop. With peach perrier. Awesome!

Also I finished my large pack and now only have my Christmas tea sampler left.

Another one from Roswell Strange. Thank you!

I cold brewed this in milk for 8 hours. The plan was to make a hot chocolate but that didn’t happen because I got lazy. So now it’s just flavored milk and honestly it is pretty good

Its creamy and has a whole lot of flavor. I want to say vanilla and cinnamon and something else that’s so familiar but not all that common but really works.

This is very oolong today with a touch of that waxy apple flavor that a lot of apple-based tisanes have. It’s alright. But I remember the last cup being better. Thank you Roswell Strange!

This is chocolate and zucchini surprisingly. I expected more of a Graham/pastry note because there were 2 large pieces of graham crackers in the filter. Its bready though so I guess that’s good. I just find I’m wanting more. The flavors are blended together and a bit one-note despite the multiple elements and my guess is age has something to do with it.

Another from Evol Ving Ness alas this has suffered from flavor deterioration over time. Per my last note, there was maple flavor but more black tea flavor. This cup smelled mapley but is really quite bland. Not much maple or black tea. Really nothing of anything. That’s on me though. Thank you for sharing, Evol!
