Yay for more tea from Dustin!

Dustin sent so many teas from my wishlist for me to try, including this one. It’s so unashamedly floral – I love it! Still have lots of this one left so will write a proper review at some point later on. I drank it so quickly that all I remember is its strong floral aroma which reminds me of my favorite floral tea (Valley of the Heart’s Delight by Satori).

Flavors: Floral

Preparation
Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

When you change the steep time on this, it becomes green apple tea with a hint of rose. What a chameleon it is!

Shae

Oh that sounds nice! A shorter steep time?

It has been years…if you check some old notes it should specify what the magic numbers were! I don’t remember!

Shae

Oh yeah, I’ll check – thank you!

Lifetime student. Lover of books and paper and ink. Kitchen dweller. Aspiring herbalist, excessively proud cat lady, and tea fanatic. Thirty-something elder millennial. She/her.

I love flavored black teas most of all, always with cream and honey. I enjoy floral and fruity teas, as well as flavored or scented ones. I’m not overly fond of green or white teas, but I’ve found a few that I enjoy.

I’m open to tea swaps and/or just sharing what’s in my tea cabinet! Please reach out if you see something I have that you’d like to try. I do my best to update my cupboard regularly.

Rating Scale

1-20: By far, one of the worst teas I’ve tasted. I most certainly will not finish my cup and will likely “gift” the rest to my sweet husband, James, who almost always enjoys the teas I dislike (and vice versa).

21-49: This tea is not good, but if I mix it with another tea or find another steeping method I might be able to finish it.

50-69: This one is just okay. I might drink it again if someone were to give it to me, but I probably won’t be buying more for myself.

70-79: This is a consistently good tea. It’s reliable but not necessarily special.

80-90: This one is a notch above the rest and I would gladly enjoy a cup of it any day of the week. I’ll likely be keeping this in my cupboard, but it isn’t one of my all-time favorites.

91-95: One small change and this tea would be perfect. I’ll definitely have a stash of this in my kitchen if you come over for tea.

96-100: No words can describe this tea. It’s an experience, an aha moment. Closed eyes, wide smile, encompassing warmth. Absolutely incredible. Perfect.
