drank The Malt Shop by Della Terra Teas

This one definitely smells and tastes malty. Kinda reminds me of Whoppers to be honest. xD Tastes like whoppers in liquid form. Which is good for me. Tea doesn’t give me terrible heartburn like chocolate does! This tea is definitely a win!

Flavors: Chocolate, Malt

mj

Liquid whoppers? I may need this. Also, you can’t eat chocolate?? I’m very sad for you. On the other hand, I would be much thinner without chocolate

Ost

I can send some to you if you want! (:

Ost

I was actually thinking about you when I drank it. Was thinking, “you know who might like this? mj might like this!”

mj

Yes, I would like to try some! Oh darn, we’ll have to do another swap :-)

Ost

You don’t have to swap anything if you don’t want. I can just send some to you (:

mj

Swapping is way more fun!

Ost

Aha true :P just message me about it then? (: I am totally down for it!

drank Champagne & Rose Cream by Butiki Teas
736 tasting notes

Oh my word!! This is my first Butiki tea! SO excited!! :D :D :D
I only own one rose scented tea currently, and to me that’s enough. Rose teas all seem to be the same to me. But this one took me by surprise.
The smell was really strong which made me think it was just like any other rose tea.
But when I finally tasted it, the flavor was light and almost kinda creamy.
It’s a much more subtle tasting tea than Teavana’s rose tea.
This one is pretty good-I’m mainly just glad I got to try something from Butiki finally! (:
Thanks for the sample, Carol Who! ^^

And I almost forgot to say! It’s such a pretty tea to look at! Even when it’s seeping it’s pretty (: Wish I could post a pic to prove it, but you’re just gonna have to take my word for it!

Flavors: Creamy, Rose

YAY FIRST BUTIKI!

Ost

drank Vanilla Oolong by Adagio Teas
736 tasting notes

Eh…let’s just say…Adagio has yet to impress me. Haven’t ever been "wow"ed by any of their teas. Probably just not for me. :/

sherapop

Ost: I believe that a big part of their appeal for many people is the Fandom program and the ability to create one’s own blends. I don’t hear that many people raving about their standard teas… I bought a couple of the Zodiac series sets and have found that the tea is generally good but not great. The concept is more important, it seems, than the ingredients.

Ost

Yeah, I think you’re right! I mean, that’s how I found them. I bough a few of their fandom blends and hated them. xD I bought their Peach tea a few years ago, but it kinda tasted burnt to me…I even like Teavana better. I know…I’m crazy :P

Arshness

Weirdo. I love my Adagio teas. Ever tried Foxtrot? How about Earl Grey Bravo? The Chocolate Chip, Birthday Tea, Blueberry Decaf and sadly discontinued Apple tea, masala chai, and they have excellent Egyptian Chamomile. :)

Ost

Eh, there teas weren’t anything that really interested me alone now that I’ve looked at so many other tea companies. I can get better teas cheaper. :P All in my opinion of course.

Arshness

To each their own. Adagio is my first love so to speak <3
What companies do you like?

Ost

Have kinda fallen in love with DTT, H&S, David’s Teas, and Tealux. :O What about you? Other than Adagio of course haha

drank Chocolate Macaroon by DAVIDsTEA
736 tasting notes

My mum is a big coconut fan. She used to always make these coconut chocolate macaroons. I didn’t like them at first because growing up I didn’t like coconut. But they grew on me. Which is good, because this tea tastes exactly like it!
It’s smooth and rich.
For once the coconut wasn’t too overpowering. The chocolate had a strong part in this tea. Definitely worth a try if you like chocolate and coconut! (:

Flavors: Chocolate, Coconut

drank Witches Cauldron by Della Terra Teas
736 tasting notes

Initially all I tasted of this tea was the woodsy rooibos taste. Which doesn’t bother me too much like it does with some people. But I’d be disappointed if that was all I could taste for the entire cup.
My uncertainty was calmed as I took another sip. There it is! That creamy, vanilla flavor I was looking for! (:
It’s not too strong, but just enough to make it a good cup of tea. I’ll have to buy this when It’s available next! Also, from the picture on Steepster, it looks like a cute tea with the little bugs and bats in it too! _

Flavors: Cream, Vanilla

Ost

Oops forgot to add, Thanks to Lariel for that sample! (:

mj

The little bugs are cute!

Lariel of Lórien

It’s good for blending.

drank Caramel Oolong by Della Terra Teas

Definitely caramel-y. But nothing really remarkable. Wouldn’t buy this tea. But thanks for the sample, Lariel! (: Now I’ll save my money!

drank Eight Candles by Della Terra Teas

Marshmallows? Caramel? Vanilla? This tea is freakin’ glorious!
I hope it will be available again sometime. I’d love to buy it. Seriously though, DTT is one of the best places for dessert teas. They know how to do it right.
Thanks, JennyFur for this wonderful sample!

Flavors: Caramel, Marshmallow, Vanilla

I hope it becomes available again too. I am very interested in trying it. :D

Ost

Yeah…I gotta stock up on it xD

Jasmine is always a good way to start the day. ^^ I didn’t expect this to be anything amazing, but I was a bit surprised of how light the jasmine was in this tea. It tasted kinda perfume-y, maybe kinda flowery even. But barely smelled.
It was just a nice, delicate tea to start my Saturday. (:
Thanks, darby, for the samples!

Flavors: Flowers, Jasmine, Perfume

sherapop

Cool that “perfume” is now an available tasting note! ;-)

Profile

Bio

I’m not too sharp with intros, but I figured it is about time to give it a go.
I started out drinking oolong and green tea that my dad brought home from his China business trips.
Then I discovered Teavana, and fell in love with some of their teas. Eventually I stumbled across Steepster, and a whole ‘nother world opened up.
Have discovered so many different kinds of teas, and have been loving this journey! The tea world is insanely big and amazing! And I’ve met some of the kindest people here who have broadened my horizons in more ways I could have imagined! Happy to be here, and to be drinking so many amazing teas! :D

My rating system:
1-59: Really really not a fan. An awful cup of tea for me…Totally undrinkable.

60-69: Not horrible, but not something I’d ever drink again willingly.

70-79: Pretty good. Wouldn’t mind drinking ever so often. But not a keeper.

80-100: FREAKIN’ AMAZING. Always keeping on stock in my home!!

I like pretty much any kind of tea except green tea. Unless it’s genmaicha or strongly flavored, I don’t like it usually.

My Tea Goals:
To find the Best Caramel Tea
To find the Best Vanilla Tea
To find the Best floral Oolong
To find the Best Malty Assam Tea
To find the Best Maple/Syrup Tea

Notes I like: Fruit(primarily peach, melon/honeydew, Banana, Kiwi, but I’m open to other kinds), Malt, Desserts (Toffee, Cake, Cookie,etc), Vanilla, Caramel, Floral, Sweet potato, Pastry/Bread,Jasmine, Honey, Cocoa, Chocolate, Maple, Nutty, Coconut, Almond.

Notes I’m Picky with: Lemon, Chai, Roasted, Blueberries, Hibiscus, Smoke, Earthiness, Puerhs, White Teas, and Cinnamon

Notes I hate: Citrus/Orange (Everything that I hate in this life that I have to take for my health is orange flavored, and it just makes me gag…so please…just no), Watermelon, Raspberry, Wood, Apple, Bacon, Lavender, Most mints, Pepper, Spicy, Tart/sour.

Yes, I am a picky tea drinker, but I’ll usually try any straight black or oolong tea that I receive. I like most oolongs, and I’m still discovering straight blacks. They always seem to surprise me no matter what!

And Swaps! I’m always down for swapping. Everything in my cupboard is swap-able. So just hit me up and send a message and we can totally do that!

On an unrelated to tea note, my other interests are limited due to health issues. But when I can, I enjoy reading and writing. Watching Netflix and YouTube have also been fantastic when I feel awful (which is most of the time).
I love Rifftrax, Rooster Teeth, Dexter, Hannibal, BBC’s Robin Hood, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Psych, and Parks and Rec.
Love watching all sorts of movies too, but that would be too much to list. :P
I’m definitely more of an internet person and love talking to people on every website I’m on. So if you ever wanna chat, shoot me a message! ^^
