I had another cup of this earlier today to see how i feel about it, and as it turns out, the tiger is just not working for me these days. So, given how much i know cavocorax loves this tea, I’ll be giving her the last of this so that it can be enjoyed by someone who still loves it :)

Another oldie but a goodie. Gotta love damn fine teas. One of these days i should figure out which one is my favourite, see if my tastes have changed. :)

this one is rather brassy today. I’m not sure how in love with this flavour i am today. I will have to have this again in the nera future to see if my taste buds have changed or if i’m just having an “off” day.

i pulled this one out of the cupboard today for our “family christmas in june” I wanted something familiar and comforting since it feels like my cupboard is almost entirely new things and i’ve been missing my favourites. So happy to still have this one around.

tea from today – i wanted bolder and familiar this morning as it’s COLD! stupid weather being warm then freezing in the same week span. blech. Still loving this one, which makes me happy given i’m on my second tin of it heh

if you’re going to drink one damn fine tea…you might as well drink a second! :) I am taking a few moments out of my day to try and plan a vacation in November. My other half can’t get away in October as he’s looking after our friend’s child M-F but November should be doable, and much needed after all the travelling i’ve had to do for work sept/oct.

I think there’s a little of the ginger from the last cup of tea that seeped in to this cup, so it’s not the best cup of tiger tea that i’ve had, but that’s on ME not the tea :)

Operation 150 is in full effect! Goal today – 5 sipdowns, since i’m not sure if i’ll get time to get some in on Saturday.

VariaTEA sent me a small cup of this that Cavo had sent her because this is not the tea for her…and that’s OK. I, however? SOOO happy to have this back in my cupboard for a day. It was a nice start to my morning today since yesterday had been a little insane with work. :) Thanks for thinking of me VariaTEA! great start to today!

Cavocorax

Oooh, I miss this one too! Let’s hope the Assam RiverTea is just as good because I am low on Assam’s now.

Also is Steepster broken for you? I only found your review bc I clicked on your name.

VariaTEA

I sent this to you because I knew you would appreciate it and I really didn’t want to waste the leaf by drinking it just because it as there. So I am glad you enjoyed the cup.

Also steepster is broken for me as well, Cavocorax. I found this through explore.

Sil

Cavo – oh..i’m not low on assam. come to my place. are you going to the tea festival? Kittenna, raritea, I are attending on the sat, while IB is working.

Sil

VariaTEA – Yep. and i totally appreciate it!

Cavocorax

Ooooh – that sounds like a lot of fun, but I don’t know if that’ll work. Not this year? Hrrrmpph.

Can you buy last minute tickets at the door if I change my mind? And what time are you guys all meeting?

Sil

you might be able to get them at the door. last year it was nearly fully sold out. No decisions yet on timing, but i’ll be going earlier in the morning to avoid the lines and mad rush of ppl.

Cavocorax

Yeah, that’s something to consider. Usually we do our roleplaying game on Saturday’s but if I just go from 10-12 I’ll be back in plenty of time…

I’m just not sure I want to deal with crowds… :P It’s just so easy to order online. Also, it’s not like I really need tea.

Sil

I had a good time last year. Tried a few things, learned few things, saw some interesting displays…

Cavocorax

Hmmm. I’m debating it…

Sipdown! (181) Since i’ll be away from my cupboard for a few days and don’t feel like going through the hassle of packing up a tea basket and such since i’m only bringing a small suitcase, i’m enjoying a few teas today as well as getting in a couple sipdowns. I fulle expect tea to show up while i’m away so i need to make sure not coming home to 200+ teas. At least i still have 3 weeks to get to 150. :)

I added a slice of orange to this one today since lala’s done that on a few occasions and i thought it would be fun to experiment with my last cup. It’s adding just a bit of sweetness, along with the orange to this cup and turning it into something entirely different and yet just as deliciously good! Maybe i’ll try a few others like that today heh…maybe.

Terri HarpLady

That’s one of the experiments I’ve been wanting to try for awhile :)

Sil

yeah same here. We have an orange that needs to be eaten so i’m steeping it, drinking the tea then eating the slice haha warm orange slice heh

Terri HarpLady

I bought an orange a few weeks back, specifically for this experiment, & somebody ate it, heh

TheTeaFairy

Unfortunately, I’ll have to take a rain check on the orange experimentation, but at least I can now add this comment: yeah, this tea is awesome!! Haha!

This will be gone tomorrow. It will be a sad, sad day. However that means the next sale will be one i can..pounce on haha sorry. again, still enjoying this tea!

TheTeaFairy

Tomorrow morning, Sil, I will know the mystic power of this tea…

TheTeaFairy

And sorry you ran out because of me :-(

__Morgana__

Gotta love that Damn Fine Tea!

Sil

teafairy – hardly your fault! i am choosing to enjoy it and drink it rather than hording it! :) I love sharing with folks

Terri HarpLady

Sharing is such fun!

First tea of the day. Admittedly i haven’t done much tea drinking today as work got busy and now that i’m home i just want to go to bed. heh Still loving this and looking forward to being able to place another order in the near-ish future to replenish my stock heh

Anna

I wish people would stop drinking this tea. It always dashes at the worst possible time, making me hungry. (The picture looks like SUSHI.)

Sil

hahahahahaha it so does haha

Anna

I starve and you laugh!

TheTeaFairy

Nana-nana-na, I’m-gonna-taste-it, cause-sil-sent-some-my-way!
(What’s wrong with me today? I sound like such a brat!)

Lala

MMmmmmm, tiger sushi.

Terri HarpLady

mmmmm, sushi!!

Kamyria

Omg.. it looks like sushi! I love sushi!

Starfevre

I have thought the sushi thing as well, for quite some time. Takes me a second every time I look at the picture.

this was my tea this morning to deal with the slushy, frozen mess out there. I only have maybe 5 more days worth of this tea left so i’m trying to savour them while also being excited for an excuse to place another order during the next sale haha. Added a bit of maple to this one just for fun and had a great morning tea :)

Cavocorax

Hey! We’re tiger buddies today!

lteg

I’ve been putting off placing an order for this tea. I’ve never found myself particularly drawn to an Assam, but I also don’t know that I’ve ever done due diligence to try a good one.

Sil

iteg – not up for a swap right away but i’d be happy to send some your way before you commit to a whole tin
Cavo- yay!

tea of the morning because somehow, even though my day was crawling…all of a sudden it’s 9:30 and i’ve done nothing? since getting home. Haven’t had any tea or anything tonight but i’ve looked at trips, registered for a wedding open house, bought tea and now i’m sorting through my amazing package from the tea fairy and loving all the messages she’s sent along with them. I need to step up my swapping game!

This tea is almost done, but it just gives me an excuse to pick up another tin during the next sale AND maybe consider a tin of their newest blend heh

Nicole

I love looking at trips! :)

Sil

Haha I almost booked us on an 8 day tour of china. It was 800 per person including airfare. No chance of exploring outside the tour dates but shit it was cheap!

Oolong Owl

what?! that’s cheap! My inlaws did a river cruise in China and it was probably around $3k not including airfare.

Nicole

I’d be suspicious of ever coming back for that cheap! They might make you work in a tea factory or something! :)

Sil

yeah it was on one of those groupon like deals. just happened to be going when my other half was still in school or we’d have done it just for the hell of it

OMGsrsly

That’s really too bad! I need to save up some money and start looking for sweet deals like that. :)

Nicole

Groupon Travel has some pretty good deals. My aunt & I are going to Vegas in 2 weeks on one of their deals. Not as good a deal as that China one, but good enough. :)

Sil

living social has a bunch of good travel deals…goupon… even expedia has some occasionally as well heh

I’m nearly down to the bottom of this tin finally which makes me sad but also gives me an excuse to pay attention for the next damn fine tea sale so that i can restock this one and pick up the new one, provided i like the new one. thankfully this tea hasn’t gone the way of 49 and i still love it :)

Lala

They just announced on twitter the next 4 orders gets a free field mug. But that was on hour ago, so not sure how many orders would have been made already.

Sil

doh.

Sil

i actually want to ask them about making a custom 3 pack a la tiger assam, red tailed hawk and caravan.

boychik

Please let me know if they are willing to do so

boychik

Abe’s market has 20% off and free shipping on those teas but they don’t have the new one Scree. Code happynewyear

yum. cold tea. not. I made this morning after getting woken up early for issues…that are still not resolved, which has caused me to get no work done today outside of this issue. It also means i don’t have a whole lot of time for tea. I brewed this one up right away and got to drink most of it warm..but now it’s cold and sad. I also have no water in my house until they do whatever they’re doing with the water mains today so i’m trying to stretch out the water that i put in the kettle and the brita and a couple uh pots so that i could have tea today lol.

Still like this one, so it appears my tastebuds are only on strike when it comes to 49. :(

TheTeaFairy

Oh, I hope you problems will be resolved very soon…not cool on x-mas eve!

Terri HarpLady

Bummer about the water! Hang in there!

Sil

oh i was prepared…. i have containers with water..just no time to boil water for tea with stupid issues

Cavocorax

Oh no. :( Hope things settle down, and your water returns.

RAWR! tiger tiger burning bright! so good….soooo, sooooo good.

Bonnie

U R Funny!

Cavocorax

Hahahah. I ALWAYS think of that with this tea.

Terri HarpLady

I need to place an order for more of this, along with double knit & caravan. I almost just did, but the only money I have right now is in my paypal account, & they don’t take paypal. In a few days…

Sil

Let me know before you do….there might be a new tea on the horizon from them….maybe.

This was one of my teas from this morning. I have to say i wasn’t feeling it today though. It just seemed flatter today than i wanted it to be. I hope our love affair hasn’t come to an end and that i’m just having an off day :)

HELLLLLOOOOO WORLD! Nothing says no you are not getting any sleep like TIGER ASSAM! RAWR! yes..i’m in a mood. 30 mins until i have to leave my house to head to the airport and i still haven’t been able to pre-check in because air canada sucks at the moment…and i’ve been up since early o’clock and oh yes.. i gave up…i am succumbing to the sheer delight of a bold black tea…and waffle cookies.

At least it’s cooler outside…i’m mostly just sitting..anxious. want to be at the airport and yet not but i have to finish working and oh my god i wish they’d figure out what’s broken!

oh yeah..this tea? go get it if you like bold yummy strong teas that say HEEEEEELLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

TheTeaFairy

Hope you ended up getting some sleep on the airplane!

(Backlog)Pretty sure my body has shut down in preparation for vacation next week. Either than or i’m pregnant…which is a less than likely possibility. I had an incredibly long day yesterday and went to bed at 9:30….so i barely drank tea and did not log anything. But this was one of two teas i did drink yesterday and enjoyed thoroughly…and no…no sipdown lol

Nicole

Yeah, I hear ya. My brain is useless this week. Deadline at work was over with last week and now I’m killing time till vacation on Friday! Lots of heavy duty Assams have been called for thus far. :)
