121 Tasting Notes
Dear cat, I love it when you wake me up at 4 am and refuse to let me fall back asleep because you snubbed the food in your bowl which you loved last week. So I’ve been up super early doing homework and studying because I feel like indulging in some of my hobbies this weekend- primarily sewing. It’s suppose to be raining so it sounds like the perfect indoor activity for me.
Since I’m still not feeling 100%, I didn’t want to drink a stronger tea than green and not risk upsetting my stomach. I love Lupicia’s green teas.
Preparation
This is an excellent dessert tea, but I wish I got more chocolate and peppermint. I was expecting a peppermint patty but it fell a little flat for my expectation. Otherwise this tea would have received a higher rating from me. I got hit by a craving for chocolate tonight and almost got into my car to get a brownie or a mini cake from Whole Foods or something. But I’m staying good and sipping this down instead. I did lose almost 20 pounds since the new year. I didn’t do any kind of crazy dieting either, I just started working out regularly and making sure I eat healthy.
Preparation
Oooh… strawberries! I really taste strawberries from this tea but not so much the cream. I actually like this more than Lupicia’s totchiome, which is the only other strawberry green tea I have had. So far I’m really loving this latest order from Della Terra :)
Preparation
I can definitely smell the white chocolate and the raspberry. Upon taste, a hint of raspberry and the chocolate. Maybe i’ll try steeping this for a little bit longer but I do like this tea! It’s very light and would be perfect after a large meal. I normally don’t like sweet teas, but the raspberry balances this out well. I wish I could taste more of the base, but maybe if I steep it for a bit longer it would improve.
Preparation
Thank god it’s raining, and thank god I’m still sick and missed school again. The mountain road I have to drive on to get to campus usually is full of accidents when it rains because the road is slippery and people aren’t cautious.
I wanted something orange-y but I loathe orange juice. It upsets my stomach so I’m drinking this instead. However, now that the mail man came I am chugging this down so I can try one of my new Della Terra Teas!
Preparation
I really need to pick up more of this because I believe it’s going to be my go to tea when I need to unwind. I just love the peppermint and lemongrass. I normally drink this piping hot, but this time I took a shower while my cup cooled down and while it’s not as good, still a delicious cup of tea.
Preparation
And done! I’m glad I tried this tea, but it really wasn’t for me. However, if I had a craving for sweetness this was my go to tea. Today was one of those days because I was stressed out from studying so much the past week. I brewed this in my timolino and went off to class. I must have needed this because I was practically chugging away while I was taking my test, or maybe tea puts me in a zen state so I can think more clearly? IDK but I’ll tell you what, audit tests are stoopid.
Preparation
Need a pick me up STAT. I’ll drink black tea in the morning when I’m super groggy still from waking up and need to get up and out ASAP. Right now I’m doing last minute studying for my exam tonight. Thankfully it’s tonight and not 8 am like my tax midterm.
