Bio
I am always interested in swapping so if you see anything in my cupboard that you want to try just send me a message. Please keep in mind that I order most of my teas in sample sizes and may not have a lot to swap. I’m also trying to keep my swaps limited to one a month so I don’t break the bank.
My favorite tea companies to order from are American Tea Room, Rishi, TeaVivre, and Single Origin Teas, however I am constantly lured away from my favorites by a good sale.
Ingredients I love in tea
rose, peach, oolong, osmanthus, vanilla, marshmallow root and peppermint
Ingredients I dislike in tea:
spearmint, chocolate, orange, hibiscus, sage and for the most part lemon.
I am a firm believer that sage only belongs in my thanksgiving stuffing/dressing and absolutely not in my tea.
Allergies
Cinnamon, Chocolate, Burdock Root, and Goji Berries

Rating Guidelines:
100 – 90: Pantry essential and some of my all time favorites that I can’t live without.
89 – 80: You’ll have a pretty good chance of finding this is my pantry on a regular basis, but it isn’t the end of the world if I run out.
79 – 70: I might consider restocking this at some point if the price was right.
69 – 40: Not undrinkable, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy it again.
39 – 20: What in the world were they thinking? Probably still finished this just because I hate to waste anything.
19 – 0: Wow, that’s so terrible chances are pretty good I dumped it out and gave away the rest.
My current top five favorite teas:
China Black – Rishi Tea
Earl Grey Cream – Zen Tea
Lemoncello – American Tea Room
Nonpareil Anxi Qing Xiang TieGuanYin Oolong – TeaVivre
White Tea Rose Mélange – Rishi Tea

Oh, you love florals! This makes me so happy. Have you tried rose violet calendula? (have I asked you this before? sorry!)
I ordered some last time I placed an order, but I’m not allowed to open it yet. I want to finish off some of my older teas first. I can’t wait to try it.
It is the epitome of heaven in a cup. And that’s a promise. Good for you for being so disciplined!
My discipline has varying degrees of success, but I’ve managed to drink nearly everything in my cupboard that is older than three months. I’m getting to the point where I can start opening up my new teas and that one is going to be one of the first I open.
