So I was feeling a little creative this evening and I didn’t want anything with a high caffeine content, so I took some Davidstea Bai Hao Yin Zhen which I received as a sample with my last order and 2 pieces of freeze-dried banana which I roughly broke apart.

Put in my infuser mug and steeped for 5 minutes. I know it’s a bit sacrilegious to take an expensive tea and add fruit flavors, but it was so yummy. The buttery white tea and creamy banana. Perfection. Speaking of which, you can buy little packets of freeze dried banana in the grocery store for $1. I got two steepings out of it.

I recently discovered loose leaf tea and am already addicted (much to my husband’s dismay)! I prefer fruity teas iced and savory teas hot. Looking forward to drinking and chatting.

Some likes/dislikes I’ve been noticing:

Likes:
Pineapple
Jasmine
Fruity White Teas
lighters Blacks
Most Oolongs (especially greener varieties)
dessert teas
tisanes iced that don’t require added sweetener

Dislikes:
Spicy flavors unless in chai
astringent black teas
heavy ginger teas
teas with licorice (as primary ingredients – somehow I like some where the licorice is in the back drop)
heavily oxidized oolongs

For my own reference, I’m only placing “full size” teas in my cupboard.
