I’ve been putting Lupicia teas in my tumbler to take to work over the last week…But I hate doing that since I don’t resteep the leaves at work or anything. Kinda a waste since those teas are expensive!
And it’s like, I want something light, that’s not gonna make me get sick, but at the same time will make me awake.
So I have been trying to find an alternative.
Yesterday I took Glitter & Gold, and that was okay, but not really something I wanted to drink in the morning.
And this morning I took this tea.
I figured that it was a lighter jasmine, and I wouldn’t feel bad to just use the bag for a one time use.
And you know what? I think I found my morning tea. Or at least one of them!
I forget how refreshing jasmine tea is. It makes me feel so awake and alive. Not in an antsy way, but in a more relaxed/refreshed way, if that makes sense.
And it wasn’t too strong, So I didn’t get sick! When I finished it I was craving more, right away. Maybe I should bring an extra tea bag to work with me.
I’m just kinda not on board with using microwaved water for my tea….:S
But may be worth it for this tea.
Anyway-this was a great morning tea! Happy to have this one!
This is You :-D
Profile
Bio
I’m not too sharp with intros, but I figured it is about time to give it a go.
I started out drinking oolong and green tea that my dad brought home from his China business trips.
Then I discovered Teavana, and fell in love with some of their teas. Eventually I stumbled across Steepster, and a whole ‘nother world opened up.
Have discovered so many different kinds of teas, and have been loving this journey! The tea world is insanely big and amazing! And I’ve met some of the kindest people here who have broadened my horizons in more ways I could have imagined! Happy to be here, and to be drinking so many amazing teas! :D
My rating system:
1-59: Really really not a fan. An awful cup of tea for me…Totally undrinkable.
60-69: Not horrible, but not something I’d ever drink again willingly.
70-79: Pretty good. Wouldn’t mind drinking ever so often. But not a keeper.
80-100: FREAKIN’ AMAZING. Always keeping on stock in my home!!
I like pretty much any kind of tea except green tea. Unless it’s genmaicha or strongly flavored, I don’t like it usually.
My Tea Goals:
To find the Best Caramel Tea
To find the Best Vanilla Tea
To find the Best floral Oolong

Notes I’m Picky with: Lemon, Chai, Roasted, Blueberries, Hibiscus, Smoke, Earthiness, Puerhs, White Teas, and Cinnamon

Yes, I am a picky tea drinker, but I’ll usually try any straight black or oolong tea that I receive. I like most oolongs, and I’m still discovering straight blacks. They always seem to surprise me no matter what!
And Swaps! I’m always down for swapping. Everything in my cupboard is swap-able. So just hit me up and send a message and we can totally do that!
On an unrelated to tea note, my other interests are limited due to health issues. But when I can, I enjoy reading and writing. Watching Netflix and YouTube have also been fantastic when I feel awful (which is most of the time).
I love Rifftrax, Rooster Teeth, Dexter, Hannibal, BBC’s Robin Hood, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Psych, and Parks and Rec.
Love watching all sorts of movies too, but that would be too much to list. :P
I’m definitely more of an internet person and love talking to people on every website I’m on. So if you ever wanna chat, shoot me a message! ^^
