Strange VariaTEA TTB: Tea 28
Thank you thereadersteacup for adding the fandom teas to the box. They’ve been a lot of fun to try and this made for a fun eggnog latte while I worked. That said though, this reminded me of DAVIDsTEA’s Pumpkin Chai except the cinnamon in it is like red hots candies. I thought that was distracting and took away from this a bit for me.
Last Wednesday I woke up excited for Starbucks holiday drinks…except they didn’t come out until Thursday. So in my disappointment I decided to make an iced latte that I thought would sorta resemble the caramel brûlée latte. I made this with salted caramel cold foam and while it wasn’t the same, this was very good.
This was a tasty treat today as a latte with brown sugar cinnamon syrup infused milk and topped with whipped cream and white chocolate drizzle. Looked cute too. Check out the pic here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CkWOU6Au2LO/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
I saw a recipe for creamy matcha lemonade, spent a lunch hour carefully peeling a lemon throughly, only for it to curdle and me to realize I don’t like coconut milk.
Strange VariaTEA TTB: Tea 27
thereadersteacup on here and on Steepster had the box before me and told me about Trader Nicks and their Disney flavoured teas. When I said I thought that was so fun, she was so sweet and added a bunch for me to try. Same with Brutaliteas. I was so excited when the box arrived but then I was sick and then I pulled out a tea from the box and it had mealmoths in it. I was so grossed out that the box got quarantined to the garage and moth traps got set up. So far it hasn’t seemed like the moths spread beyond that one tea but it’s taking me a while to feel comfortable with the box again.
However, I wanted to try this tea so I thoroughly inspected it, confirmed it was moth free and made it. At first it seemed like it was just heavily nutty flavour but I kept drinking and the flavour balanced out to a nice and sweet baked good flavour profile. I was happy.
Thank you thereadersteacup!
