I thought I’d either love this or hate it. Such an odd blend. Cereal?! I made sure to get at least one frosted flake looking piece of the cereal in there. But there is a ton of huge pieces of coconut. I MUST make sure to get one of these huge pillowy marshmallows in each mug… but they hardly melted at all in the first steep. This actually tastes like the sugariest of cereal milks at the bottom of the bowl. And WHOA this is very sugary. I guess I don’t really have too many issues with stevia, if it’s FRESH stevia but I think it tends to age very quickly and ruin any blend it’s in. This is one of those blends I will have to sip down faster between the coconut, cereal, stevia. It will certainly help sugar cravings, but I do wish there had more elements here than just sugar milk, maybe a toastier cereal flavor.
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons for full mug // 10 minutes after boiling // 2 1/2 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 20 min steep
This is You :-D

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!
I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.
My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors
My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again
I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)
Happy sipping!

Do you mean stevia? (Also yes – totally a sweet blend meant to taste like Cereal Milk!! It’s really uncanny if you try it as a latte, imo.)
Oops, stevia. They’re the same to me but I’ll switch it in the tasting note. haha
