Made as an iced latte because I realized I had a bunch of packages I bought last year when I was going through this like crazy. It is still noms!

Iced Latte with Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam (199)

I actually finished 2 packages of this for my oversized latte – one being my own and the other coming from Sil so thank you!

This tea is best steeped in milk. That said, this is still a nice enough iced latte. It’s more muddied than I usually would like because of the spices. I think maybe I was thinking pumpkin chai which has the caramel sweetness and so that feel like it’s missing but overall it’s nice. It highlights the vanilla well at least.

Iced latte Sipdown (202)

This was fine but heavier on mint than I wanted so I’m content saying goodbye.

Iced Latte Sipdown (203)

The burnout is so real. I really needed to do work this weekend and I just didn’t have it in me to do it. Then I woke up this morning panicked about work. At some point I wanted something happy and a giant iced latte sounded amazing. Except, I didn’t know what tea to use. I then spent forever deciding and when I finally narrowed it down to this blend, I realized I only had enough for a 12 oz latte (as opposed to the 24 oz one I planned). At least its a sipdown so I can feel like I accomplished something today.

This was an okay latte. More brownie than caramel. And not a particularly sweet brownie at that. Definitely fudgey though. A bit thin, which felt odd when paired with the fudgey flavour. Oh well.

Iced Latte Sipdown (205)

This actually is pretty cake-y. Sort of makes me think of the mass produced grocery store cupcakes. Sweet and sprinkle-y.

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
