drank "Honey" Almond Delight Herbal Tea by Plum Deluxe

Sipdown (198)

My first bar exam is on Tuesday and I don’t think I had any tea this week. I barely even had the amount of water I should each day. I’ve just been busy with studying. Also I found myself on Booktok and got back into reading and ordered almost 35 books…and a book cart, and book marks, and a batarang page holder. Also a ukulele to learn post bar exams. That said, the month is nearing an end and I noticed I had 11 sipdowns and that drove me a bit nuts so I snuck in this Sipdown.

I was expecting Forever Nuts and while it’s similar, I like this better. It’s more honey and less nutty in flavour, which is my preference. It also is giving me Rose vibes as well. Don’t know why but it’s like a honey and Rose water version of Forever Nuts. Nice but not something I need more of.

I saw your post on Instagram and I’ll be curious to hear what you think of the series by Sarah J. Maas. I’ve really liked both of her book series.

I finished A Court of Thorns and Roses this morning. I liked it. I’m now reading the Hating Game as a break and will then start the second in the ACOTAR series.

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
