Another tea from Miss B’s stash clear out!

Been wanting to try this for awhile based on all the positive reviews. Decided to make it as a hot latte to go along with my breakfast this morning.

I enjoyed it quite a lot, though there was a flavour in it that reminds me of something I can’t quite put my finger on….this sample was robust and I think I’d actually prefer a level down, so much flavoring made it taste a bit chemical.

I think the thing it reminded me of was an old lip balm I used to have. Not one of the lovely homemade ones I buy now, but like a holiday version of a lipsmacker or something.

However, that aside, still yummy! I’d order it :)

Makes me even more curious about the Belgium Chocolate one because I liked the chocolate flavor in this one.

Merci Miss B, for sending this along!

Where do you get your homemade lipbalms?

I’ve purchased some on etsy but my faves were a local woman who moved out west :(

ohfancythat

Courtney

I always think “oh AB, so close”. But I’m used to living in a wee little province haha.

Lipbalm is way easy to make yourself

ohfancythat

Courtney yeah, that would take some adjusting!

MzPriss I know, but it’s easier to buy it…I love the ones that lady makes and I like supporting a crafts person!

Hello!

I love tea. I love my mini-me daughter, my husband, my dog Wally, Netflix, shopping, and tea. Some other stuff too, but these are the most important!

Some favourites -

My new favourite tea company is A Quarter to Tea. I love the flavouring used and how it doesn’t seem fake, and the combinations are so delicious. Right up my alley.

My favourite teas are black, I love Laoshan Black and Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black tea from TTC. Also many of Teavivre’s black teas.

Butiki teas RIP, I loved how the flavours were subtle and not fake tasting and didn’t overwhelm the tea base. Trust that I am dramatically mourning the loss of this company!

Teavivre, Whispering Pines and Mariage Freres are some more tea companies I appreciate. Along with Davidstea as it was the ‘gateway drug’ to my tea addiction. Though I’m mostly over it now, I’ve definitely moved on from the artificially flavoured teas and am trying more quality straight teas!

My ultimate goal is to try as many French teas as possible – and to finally find a source in Canada for Mariage Freres so I can buy Wedding Imperial, and Black Orchid for sure.

I would like to try any Taiwanese Assams that exist in the world!

Also continuously on the hunt for Fauchon – La Naissance. If anyone has some of this I would pay for it!!! It’s my number one all time favourite tea.

When I rate, it goes like this:

85 -100 = WIN! awesome, I love this and keep it on hand
70 – 85 = pretty darn good but I don’t NEED to own it
55 – 70 = not necessarily terrible but not a tea for me!
30 – 55 = missed the mark as far as I am concerned. Wouldn’t drink it willingly.
0 – 30 = I likely won’t rate this low very often, so if you see it, consider the tea a great big FAIL and probably disgusting.
