Travelling tea box!

I think this was a little contaminated by a smokey tea as there’s abitof a smokey taste to this however it’s a lovely tea anddoes capture black currant nicely.

Forgive the short note. Dozing abit…. Trying to get better today.

it’s chocolate…it’s mint. Probably one of the few chocolate teas from della terra that I don’t mind but it’s nothing special. Happy to have tried it but it won’t warrant another purchase as there are numerous chocolate mint teas out there.

this looks like a hit or miss tea. How different than Read My Lips is it?

Sil

I think I like this one better than read my lips.mmthe last time I had read my lips there was that oily film on the top of the tea that happens with a bunch of David’s teas. So it kinda turned me off.

Meh. This is starting to confirm that it’s the chocolate teas from Della Terra that i don’t enjoy. Something about the way the chocolate tastes…it’s like low grade cocoa. or something. I didn’t get much raspberry from this either. :(

drank Lemon Chiffon by Della Terra Teas

I think Azzrian gave me whatever bug it was she had heh Either that or I managed to dance and sing way too much on friday and now i’m paying for it. So much for going to the gym today. Instead it’s going to be tea, tea and more tea….followed by some sleep

As for this tea, it’s a pretty decent lemon tea. Not lemon like the fruit, but more like the lemon squares, so there’s a touch of artificial to this, but it’s in the kind of baked goodies sense of that. So it’s still pretty delicious. Also, it’s not sour…but it’s not exactly sweet either. just lemon square. lol

Azzrian

Nooooo I sure hope you didn’t get my bug from me! Bummer I am sorry if you did – sorry you feel cruddy either way.

Sil

heh thanks Azz! :)

This is mighty tasty folks! When i opened the bag it was like I had cracked open a bag full of those soft oatmeal cookies you can get at the store. How does it taste? Pretty damn good! I could use just a touch less cinnamon, though i suspect adding a bit of milk to this would work as well. I may have to try that next time. overall a pretty tasty dessert tea.

Mmmm this is a really tasty tea! Nt too overpowering on the vanilla and a nice balance with the black. I haven’t had too many other vanilla blacks but this is pretty tasty!

another delicious afternoon tea that came with me on our trip out to hit the mall (super quick ‘cause i need to find a kettle to replace my current one) and then to costco to pick up a few things that we’ve run out of. Not feeling 100% today so it was nice to have a little pick me up while out and about. caramel? check. cheesecakey goodness? check.

Had this in the morning with a wonderful breakfast made by my other half. this is the first saturday he’s had off since we got back from vacation so it was lovely to sleep in and have breakfast made by him :)

I really like this blend. It’s not as strong or as intense as some of the blacks i prefer when i’m waking up for work, but for a lazy saturday this is delightful :)

drank Té de Frutas by Lupicia

I really enjoyed this pre-lunch. Just a refreshing tasty cup of tea to whet my appetite. I’m really digging the lychee taste, though that’s not a fruit i’d ever really just simply eat. :)

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling as well!

Most of that is on hold these days though, including tea drinking like I used to as I have a new little one who eats up all my spare time.
