So I’ve been debating… both this tea and Santa’s Secret (a favorite) of mine are on sale with DT’s right now and I’m not sure if I should get them now or not. For the latter I’ve got about 75g left, but it’s always the question of will they bring it back, will it still be as good, will I have enough to last me through to next winter if they do bring it back? And for this one, I’ve only got about 3 cups or so left, but do I like it enough to get a bunch more of it? So I thought I’d try a cup to see if that helped my decision making process… It didn’t.

I like it; it’s a balanced, mildly spicy tea good for when you want something warm but without a ton of spice notes and sweet enough to have just on its own with no additives. But I just don’t know that I like it enough to get 250g of it… Honestly though I love the fact that DT does a “last chance” type sale I really dislike the amounts that are involved, I’m entirely less likely to buy something from it as compared to when they let you select smaller sizes. Even if it was fixed amount of 100g/pkg I’d be happier. sigh Oh what to do…

I think you should buy it. It’s worth it, especially if you had bought another 100G, you’re paying the same price :) That’s kind of the way I look at it. Sure, 250g is a lot of tea, but all the more to share with people etc. I’ve taken to buying the filters and giving them away as little gifts from time to time. For example to my massage therapist to try. Also gave it to someone who was stuck in the hospital with unfortunate tea options :)

Ever since I discovered the wide world that is loose-leaf teas, I haven’t been able to go back. It doesn’t seem to matter what type it is or if it’s “straight” or “flavored” tea is my thing. It’s actually quite funny as I’m surrounded by coffee lovers who just can’t quite grasp why, to me, tea is better than coffee. :D (which considering it’s less-than a 5 minute walk to each of 2 separate Tim Horton’s, a Starbucks AND a Second Cup… that’s saying something!)

On the whole I tend to prefer my tea strong and “au natural” with no sweeteners, milk or other additions, but like most everyone there’s always exceptions to the rule… just not many of them.

Aside from tea I love reading (especially if there is a fireplace or campfire involved), camping/hiking, horseback riding and Healing Touch (similar to Reiki). Oh and computers and board games (euro style, is there anything else? ;)) and… and… chuckles OK so I have a large variety of interests.
