Thanks SO MUCH again for that awesome package, TreeGal! There were a handful of wrapped TeaRevv samples that looked like individual wrapped satchets (it said satchets on the outside of the packaging) but instead this had two teaspoons. So I get to enjoy TWO steep sessions of these TeaRevv teas instead of the one steep session I thought. So an extra surprise bonus! I’m not sure if these were from the advent or something? Anyway, very thrilled I get to try this company that I otherwise might never have had a chance to. I was looking for a healthy fresh green tea today so I went with this one. Let me tell you, I’m not a fan of ginger, but it is much more pleasant here than I thought it would be. The ginger doesn’t overpower the blend at all, and I’m glad because the green tea is so lovely. Buttery, fresh, bright, sweet. On the second steep, I could swear lemon was somehow included here. But it just keeps being sweet and delicious. The butter with the hints of ginger with the sweetness is almost like this is a natural ‘gingerbread cookie’ tea. I like this much better than I thought I would!
Steep #1 // 1 teaspoon for the smaller mug // 30 minutes after boiling // 2 1/2 minute steep
Steep #2 // 30 minutes after boiling // 2 1/2 minute steep

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
