I went off of my diet today to attend an International Women’s day breakfast, and when I go off my diet, I make it worth it. I had a starbucks latte and some dark chocolate today which are my weaknesses. So I thought I would go ahead and try the three caffeinated H&S teas a purchased a few weeks ago (I’m only allowed one cup of caffeine per day on my diet and it has to be strait and I can’t drink black tea strait).

The smell of this was very fruity, mostly bergamot and some cherry notes. I took a sip of this before I added anything and it was quite astringent, though I only steeped it for 4 mins, which is super short for me. I added some honey and milk but it was still astringent so I added some sugar as well. There we go, perfect. Well as perfect as this tea can get for me I’m sure. I enjoyed this one the most out of the three I tried. I was getting mostly bergamot out of this, just the perfect amount of bergamot for me actually. Also a little bit of fruitiness as well. I’m getting a bit of honey in the aftertaste, but I’m not sure if that’s the tea or the honey I added to it. I will have to leave out the honey nest time to be sure. I would order this one if I was to make another H&S order, but the way things are going, I probably won’t be.

I didn’t drink a lot of tea growing up, just the red rose my nana would make me with about 3 teaspoons of sugar added to it. I started getting into loose leaf tea about a decade ago when I visited our local tea house and tried Rooibos for the first time, though I only drank it on occasion. I didn’t get serious about it until David’s tea came to town. I was on a diet and wanted something I could drink without sugar that had a lot of flavours to choose from.

I prefer black teas, but oolong and green come in a close second. White and guayusa are in the middle, while mate, rooibos and herbals are at the bottom of my list.

Likes: banana, jasmine, pumpkin, lychee, blueberry, chocolate
Dislikes: orange, ginger, rose, hibiscus, butterscotch, honeybush

My non-tea related interests are music, camping, poker, softball, snowboarding, biology and animals. I have 2 dogs and they are my whole life.
