‘Samurai’ Traveling Teabox – Tea #1
Thanks so much for the teabox starter, SkySamurai! I’m trying the teas now on it’s first stop. Signups still open in the forums! Such rarities here, and some tea shops I’ve never even heard of. That’s always good. On to the first tea…I usually like Adagio blends, and this one sounds like a divine combination, but overall the flavor is mostly flat to me. Hardly any chocolate or caramel or hazelnut or vanilla… I mean, those flavors in theory sound amazing, but maybe they all cancelled each other out and I’m really only tasting roasted yerba mate. What a shame. It’s certainly BROWN in color anyway. Chewbacca brown. I think it’s Chewbacca on the tin? I don’t know (shh.. I only saw the first three Star Wars movies.)
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoon for a full mug // 7 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 5 minute steep
‘Samurai’ Traveling Teabox – Tea #2
I’ll write #2 here because technically a hot chocolate shouldn’t be listed on Steepster. It’s Sipology’s Candy Orange Hot Chocolate. It sounded odd until I realized it is supposed to be one of those chocolate oranges. I’m a fan of those chocolate oranges. Yum. The hot chocolate itself is smooth and rich without being too sugary. Just how I like it. I was tasting hints of what should be orange. Hints but what was there was accurate to chocolate orange. It’s good! I definitely didn’t use how much they suggested on the package (to keep the sugar in check). About a spoon and a half of mix for a mug of milk. Never heard of this shop before. rating would be 93

Seeing as how it’s called “Bowcaster Brown” and the Bowcaster is the traditional weapon of Kashyyyk (the Wookiee homeworld), I’m going to say it is probably Chewbacca on the tin.
Sorry, I lived in a Star Wars party house for 2 years. I had this stuff drilled into my head.
Yeah, I do not know these things. :D
