This tea I thought I would like the least out of this year’s 2015 52 Teas Holiday tea line, but I was wrong. This one is quite nice – a strong orange tea with a light hum of spices. The rooibos is a good background, and wow lots of whole cranberries!
This one shines brewed strong iced – sounds weird but since I’m in a warm climate it works quite well!

I was raised on floral oolongs and green teas, mostly “beauty” teas. Early on as a kid, I can guzzle an entire pot of tea (or two) at a Chinese or Japanese restaurant.
These days I like adventurous and interesting tea blends. I’m fearless in trying new teas! I’m into oolong, pu’erh, white, green, black, guayusa, mate and herbals. I’m not into red rooibos but I keep buying it anyway.
The tea brand that got me started into loose leaf teas was DAVIDsTea. I used to live in Vancouver Canada and had access to their shop, however that is now limited since I moved to southern California.
However, the perks of living in the US is ultra cheap, fast shipping! Since then, my tea stash insanely expanded.
Other stuff I’m into that sneaks into my tea notes: Brazilian jiu-jitsu, metal music, drawing, painting, cooking, photography and nail polish.
BTW, my Steepster cupboard is not even close to accurate and I track my teas on a spreadsheet. Last update 573 Teas – August 2015.
