You know, it’s times like this when I am so SO glad that Steepster exists and that I found it. Without Steepster, and all of you tea lovers posting your awesome reviews encouraging me to try and buy more more more (and also, thanks in general to the internet, for feeding this habit by bringing everything that much closer to me)… I never would have discovered this tea.
Or TTC.
Because honestly.
Last night I decided to make a mug of this, I had purchased 5 samples from TTC and recently got them. I am practically on a tea hiatus at this point, i mean i certainly SHOULD be. But I’d had a TTC sample once upon a time and knew that down the road more would be mine, all mine.
So when I cut open my adorably patterned sample bag, I stuck my nose in and inhaled like breathing was going to go out of style and OMG. The scent. INTOXICATING. I don’t even know. So good. I can’t describe.
And then I brewed it up, took my first sip, and it was like happiness exploded all over my tongue. It’s fruity and malty and bready and fresh and bright and SO FLAVOURFUL.
I don’t ever want to live without this tea.
I really need to start drinking down everything I have to reach a point where I only stock my absolute loves. This would be one of them.
I wanted to shout it from the rooftops last night, but there was no one around who would care. There never is, I’m alone in my world of tea love. Except for you guys.
Everyone who hasn’t tried this tea must wishlist it immediately :)
You’re welcome. Trust me.
(PS – I spent like 2 hours just slowly and enjoyably organizing my tea stash yesterday. Of course my online cupboard isn’t really up to date yet, but physically arranging and mentally taking stock of all of my teas (ALL OF THE TEAS) was incredibly calming and satisfying.)

It’s magical right? I have yet to drink a tea that is even close to how awesome this tea is.
I’m thrilled I ordered this one. After your note on the Golden Dragon Tippy, I was inspired to order a bunch of black tea samples from TTC. Yes!
i haven’t had this lot of the yuchi…but it’s a good tea!
Happy I was able to influence someone’s tea buying! hehe
Yeah it’s super magically delicious
Do you pick out any of the rose or licorice notes the website describes? It looked good to me up til that point.
No, none of those tastes are present in that tea. It tastes like a big delicious cinnamon roll to me.
I didn’t notice any rose or licorice at all.
No cinnamon rolls either, but my tastebuds are not that well-honed at this point.
I haven’t had a TTC tea that I was disappointed with. At this point, I’m pretty sure I could just place an order for any 5 samples and they’d all be golden.
aren’t you glad i spread the word :)
YES Sil, I believe you’re the one who sent me a Yuchi Mountain sample at some point, bless your little heart!!
i actually just really love that they give you free shipping if you just get 25$ woth of sample sizes….as i often just want the sample sizes lol
yes!! such a great deal.
I wonder if they’d question just purchasing nothing but sample sizes of this tea… haha
They probably understand it. These teas are not cheap, not cheap at all. We are looking at wholesale prices for some of these teas and at the end of the day we are dealing with very, very high quality teas, processed with great care by very skilled tradespeople. Even wholesale the prices are a little high, but in our opinion, worth it as a treat!
Anyone else a fan of the verdant tea of the. Month sampler? Darling little tea company that gets it fresh from China, the teas come from—CHINA!!
