Geeky Teas

Working late tonight. Brewing this strong. Or at least, long. I really like this one, but I still don’t taste any spices. After steeping for two minutes longer, there is a slight astringency that I didn’t notice in my first cup of the day.

Thank you to Nichole for sending this along with some other fun Geeky Teas samples in a surprise Halloween package last week. So sweet and thoughtful!

This tea is strong and very good. I’m not necessarily able to taste pumpkin, but there is definitely something fall-flavored about it. Even though I’m not tasting the spices, I’m really enjoying the black tea base. The dry mix is mostly tea leaves with a few yellow flower petals and some small pieces of bark tossed in. I’m guessing cinnamon. It smells fruity sweet.

Second Steep
8 ounces water + 212 degrees + 4 minutes

This cup is still dark after a 3-4 minutes steep. The taste is lighter but still has flavor.

Thanks, Nichole, for sharing!

Yep. Squidward Fandom Tea. Gotta say, I’m glad Squidward is getting his time in the spotlight finally. This tea my kiddos would even drink. Simple apple flavors that remind me of a crisp green apple. So far my favorite of the Geeky Teas.

TeaNTees I thought of you the whole time I drank this one!

This is a nice black flavored peach tea. The tea did surprise me of how it reminded me of fresh peaches and not artificial flavoring. I thought for sure that was what I would end up with. Not sure if I would want more but I couldn’t help but give it a go.

And this wasn’t a sipdown- this was an add on order :/

Happy Friday all!
