I had this yesterday so this is from memory, but I definitely liked it. Roasty toasty oolong base, nutty hazelnut and creamy vanilla flavour. Hard to go wrong with that combination, really. :) I’ve been craving roasted oolongs since the weather got cold, and the flavouring transforms this one into a lovely desserty tea. I can see why this is popular.

This one is in the mail and on its way to me. I can’t wait.

I really liked this one. But I haven’t thought of ordering from Zen since they pulled a switch and I went to check out but everything was in USD. :/

OMGsrsly, everything I see on their site and all my items on my bill are in CAD. Am I misunderstanding something?

Yeah I remember that episode, but I think they changed it after everyone complained. Now there’s a “Pick a currency” dropdown menu at the top of the page, and it seems to remember your choice. I didn’t have any trouble ordering and paying in CAD.

I also remember that episode. I believe they did a great thing and listened to their customer base and quickly realized the errors in their ways and switched back.

Yes. I was rather upset and sent them an email about it. And I haven’t been to their website since.

Well it has been over a year and everyone I know thinks my tea obsession is a bit out of hand, so… I guess I’m not a total newbie anymore. :)

I’m drinking a lot more pure tea these days, though I still love a good flavoured blend too. Current favourites: Chinese and Taiwanese blacks, fresh Chinese greens, oolongs both green and roasted, sheng puer.

I really love companies that buy directly from tea farmers, and have an emphasis on quality and sustainability. Favourites: Verdant, Whispering Pines, Eco Cha, White 2 Tea. I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, so I buy almost all my tea online.

For hot tea, I’m usually brewing in either a 100ml gaiwan, or a 10oz mug with a steeping basket. For cold tea, I cold brew overnight in 500ml mason jars.

My cupboard on Steepster doesn’t include small samples, just the ones I have at least 15g of. So if you see something you’re interested in, I probably have enough to share. :)
