drank Kotobuki by Lupicia
1040 tasting notes

I placed my first Lupicia order about a month ago – I got 6 and split 10, then earlier tonight I placed another order and got 13 more.
It never even occurred to me to get this one. Didn’t even register on the maybe list….
TheTeaFairy ordered this as one of her’s during our last split order and generously sent me a sample.
OMG!!! I was wrong, she was right!!! This is one of the best flavored teas I’ve ever had. Fricken Fantastic!!!! I LOVE IT Amazing, love it. Plum oolong rocks!!!
(I’m not rating teas anymore but this deserves 95+)

I think I liked your teas better than mine…. Loved the green rooibos one too, sauvage jardin? something like that..

Jardin Sauvage, yes, isn’t that a fresh fruity blend? I didn’t reorder cause I wanted to try their other green rooibos Adagio and Honeydew.

I think Adagio will be too floral for me – but excited to try the Honey Dew…

Plum oolong? Interesting. That is not a combination I would have thought of. This and the honey dew has me intrigued.

Bio

C.S. Lewis – “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”

I needed to update my profile. I joined Steepster 03Mar13. I am just amazed at how much my tastes have changed since then.
When I discovered loose leaf tea about a year and half ago, I didn’t know anything other than my local Davids and Teavana/Teaopia. Stumbling onto Steepster CHANGED EVERYTHING.
Hello, my name is Dex I’m a tea addict.
I’ve been through the “I need to try every single tea out there” phase. I really hope the worst of that has passed. I’ve learned enough to know that I only need to try HALF of all the teas out there. LOL
When I started this journey, I was all about the flavored rooibos and fruity tisanes. Don’t get me wrong there is still room for dessert (chocolate/caramel/nutty) Rooibos teas in my cupboard and I still do enjoy them, BUT I am quickly learning to appreciate the some of the straight teas of the world.
Big bold (but not icky)pu’erh is suddenly my favorite, followed by woody/roasted oolongs. I’m just starting to explore straight black teas, and have found some that I really like.
Generally speaking I’m not into greens at all, only like the occasional green oolong, and white teas are just too mild for my tastes (unless they are fruit flavored). I still enjoy really good fruit tisanes, but am now cold steeping them.
I don’t like floral/herbal blends, and mint anything is not on my preferred list.
I am still exploring new teas, adapting to my changing tastes, understanding more every day how little I really know about tea. Ultimately I would love to find approximately 50 teas that I just “can’t live without” and always have them in my cupboard. That might not be practical, but that what I’m searching for. It’s going to be a fun journey.

All in all, I love this site. I’ve met some wonderful people, and have gotten to try some amazing teas because of them. It really restores your faith in humanity when you get a note saying “oh by the way I sent you some tea”. Wonderful, generous, people here.
