SO GOOD.
It’s a green/pu erh/black tea blend so don’t drink at night or else you’ll be up at 3am wondering why you thought it would be a good idea.

Decided to prepare tea for me to relax from midterm stress.
It was around 9:30pm when I made it and I was on the phone with my parents and stress + caffeine (even though this tea has fairly low caffeine) = your parents thinking that you’re high ;)

But this tea is really good okay. THE AROMA. And it steeps really well. I’m on my 5th mug but I think it’s because I like my Jasmine tea a bit weak.

First time trying English Breakfast and… Monica made fun of me. I described it as tasting of old. Not like this tea is old, but it reminds me of old things. Imagine walking up into the attic and discovering all these old stuff from childhood. THAT is English Breakfast tea for me.

Okay this tea. I got it from my mother because she knew that I liked tea, but THIS ONE. It had an odd red colour and I didn’t know what to expect from it.
I actually liked it a bit! It smelled like medicine at first (not the best smell) but after steeping for a while, it gained a fruitier flavour and it was pretty good.

It says “refreshing yet warm taste” on the package and it’s true. Not the biggest fan on Chamomile, but the Elderflower does help. Slightly minty taste.

It’s like a little hug from The Hatter himself every time I drink this tea.
No need for milk or suger for me. It’s perfect as is :)

Oh Jasmine, I love you so much <33
Lupicia never fails. Lupicia will always and forever be my little tea shoppe and every time I go, I make sure to get a packet of this Jasmine tea.
One of my favourites, I’ll always need at least a sachet in my cupboard to survive.

I’ve actually never had Earl Grey before. I got this as a sample sachet in my order so why not give it a go? This was pretty good. Can’t say it’s the best earl grey I’ve ever had since it was the only Earl Grey I’ve ever had.

First time I drank this tea, I was testing Cara (the one who made this blend) AND SHE PASSED. Lestrade definitely would taste like this if he was turned into tea. Seriously. The second you open the pouch, it’s screaming Lestrade.
Slightly smoky and musky flavour, but oh it was good.

Tea rating guide:
100-95: Best thing to ever touch my mouth and I want more. Restocking is a must
94-80: Love this tea. Restock if I can
79-70: Decent tea. Neither love nor hate.
69-60: I won’t be upset when it runs out. I’ll drink it but won’t restock.
59-30: I’ve done whatever I can to like this tea and I’ll finish the cup.
29-10: I’ve done whatever I can to like this tea. It may or may not have gone down the sink…
9-below: Let’s not even hide it. This definitely went down the drain.

I love tea.
I drink it.
I log it.
I have a good time.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

I first discovered my love for tea with jasmine teas because that’s all my mother would buy, so for the longest time, I thought that all teas were jasmine! And then in 4th grade, I watched the tea episode of Good Eats and that’s when the education started! I’d like to blame Alton Brown for starting this obsession because now I only like loose leaf tea.
It wasn’t until my second year of college that I actually expanded my tea taste buds. Special shout out to Cara McGee, Tea Queen for her Adagio Fandom blends. Because of Cara, I actually started drinking blacks, herbals and whites and pretty much everything else in between. I still have a special love for my jasmine though :)
I (try to) drink tea daily. Usually just straight up, no sugar or milk. This little obsession started young and just… kept going, I guess.

also I apologize in advance for lazy tasting notes and horrible grammar in everything I write. I was an avid fandom blogger on tumblr and tumblr talk can get in the way of everything kthxbai
