drank English Breakfast by Single Origin Teas
652 tasting notes

I shouldn’t be posting this out of order, because technically my first review would be in my little notebook and I haven’t transferred it online yet.

However, I drank some this morning, and really enjoy it as a breakfast tea.

Today’s circumstances were a little different, because I needed something comforting. If you google “#prayformoncton”, you will understand. We have made the news worldwide.

This is my city, my family and friends are in the lockdown zone, trapped in their houses.
This began last night at around 7:30pm….
The guy killed 3 RCMP officers and wounded 2 others.
I went to bed last night hoping to wake up to some good news but he’s still out there.
The only thing that makes me feel better is that he doesn’t seem to be targeting civilians.

I’ve never felt so violated and unsafe. Stuff like this is not supposed to happen in our safe little city.

RIP to the officers who lost their lives trying to protect us. May they catch this idiot without anymore losses.

If it can happen here, it can happen anywhere. :(

I heard about it on the news this morning – first thing when I woke up. This is totally awful, and I wish you and everyone around you continued safety.

Hello!

I love tea. I love my mini-me daughter, my husband, my dog Wally, Netflix, shopping, and tea. Some other stuff too, but these are the most important!

Some favourites -

My new favourite tea company is A Quarter to Tea. I love the flavouring used and how it doesn’t seem fake, and the combinations are so delicious. Right up my alley.

My favourite teas are black, I love Laoshan Black and Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black tea from TTC. Also many of Teavivre’s black teas.

Butiki teas RIP, I loved how the flavours were subtle and not fake tasting and didn’t overwhelm the tea base. Trust that I am dramatically mourning the loss of this company!

Teavivre, Whispering Pines and Mariage Freres are some more tea companies I appreciate. Along with Davidstea as it was the ‘gateway drug’ to my tea addiction. Though I’m mostly over it now, I’ve definitely moved on from the artificially flavoured teas and am trying more quality straight teas!

My ultimate goal is to try as many French teas as possible – and to finally find a source in Canada for Mariage Freres so I can buy Wedding Imperial, and Black Orchid for sure.

I would like to try any Taiwanese Assams that exist in the world!

Also continuously on the hunt for Fauchon – La Naissance. If anyone has some of this I would pay for it!!! It’s my number one all time favourite tea.

When I rate, it goes like this:

85 -100 = WIN! awesome, I love this and keep it on hand
70 – 85 = pretty darn good but I don’t NEED to own it
55 – 70 = not necessarily terrible but not a tea for me!
30 – 55 = missed the mark as far as I am concerned. Wouldn’t drink it willingly.
0 – 30 = I likely won’t rate this low very often, so if you see it, consider the tea a great big FAIL and probably disgusting.
