VariaTEA drank Organic Green Tea with Mint by Harney & Sons

Today was exam 4/5 and for the first time that I can recall, I blanked. I knew the cases that applied and I knew the issues but for some reason I couldn’t formulate a thought and then I panicked because I couldn’t which made my brain all the more cloudy and then I became aware of timing and it was a mess. When I finally started thinking clearly it was too late. Hopefully I scrape enough points together to do ok but that was torture.

One more exam to go. I haven’t gotten a chance to study for it so I need to try to get through whatever I can before 1 pm Friday when it starts. Then 2 hours to answer 50 m/c questions and then I. AM. DONE. I cannot wait. If I had the option to opt out right now and take a C, I think I would. Nothing sucks more than scrambling knowing there isn’t enough time to do what you need to do but still just scrambling.

Anyways, because the exams wasn’t great my mom told me she’d pay for me to order food. I got Mexican food and it was good but I am so full. So very, very full. Hence the mint tea. This is an alright mint tea. Nothing special. But the satchet is convenient every so often.

I’m sorry your exams haven’t been going as well as you’d like. Hopefully the last one is better!

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
