Sipdown!! (182)

Thank you Fjellrev for sharing this amazing tea! When I was brewing up The Morning Star, I didn’t know what to expect so I wanted another tea that I knew I would enjoy and this popped into my mind. I am sad to see it go as this is one I would most definitely stock (if I lived somewhere I could buy Bayswater Teas that is). It has an almost coffee-like quality at first but as I continue to sip, I realize it is not coffee but rather a caramelized sugar flavor that is bordering on a little too well-down giving it a nice roastiness. I am definitely starting to see where the name Creme Brulee comes from now and I am really loving it. Too bad it is gone :(

OMGsrsly

Did you get any Divine Temptation?

Fjellrev

She sure did, and I did mention mixing them. :D

VariaTEA

Yes I got some of that as well because Fjellrev is awesome! However, I didn’t get a chance to mix them because I finished the Creme Brulee too quickly on its own :(.

Fjellrev

Aww, I can always send more of both next time I send you stuff.

VariaTEA

Haha. I might have gotten a bit excited about this one :P. Btw, have you tried Sweet Seduction by RiverTea? It is also a nougat tea (like Divine Temptation) but with a green base. It was really good.

Fjellrev

I haven’t tried that yet but was considering ordering that when I eventually make an order with them. The first thing that came to mind when I saw it was this tea.

OMGsrsly

Fjellrev, I have loads and I’m closer than you are. :) I could send some in the parcel I’m putting together!

OMGsrsly

Oh, and Bayswater does Divine Temptation with a green base as well. And I think also a bai mu dan white. Maybe even rooibos. It’s a best seller!

VariaTEA

Haha. OMGsrsly, we have Sweet Temptation, so I don’t think we should jump on any rooibos versions of Divine Temptation anytime soon:P.

OMGsrsly

Oh right. :D Sorry, I get excited about tea and stuff… :)

Plunkybug

I need more of this one, seriously. And DT.

My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!

For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu’erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, toffee, cookie, cream, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well.

I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won’t drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can’t stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.

Tea Ratings Guide (as of December 10, 2017)
90-100 Teas I NEED on hand at all times
80-89 Teas I want to keep around for a cup every now and then
70-79 Teas I am glad I have around and can experiment with but probably don’t need more than what’s in my cupboard
60-69 Teas I would not turn down a cup of from a friend but that would probably be enough
50-59 Teas I can see why someone would enjoy but are not for me
Under 50 Teas I really did not like and most likely got dumped
