Cavocorax sent this my way and it is definitely a tasty treat to sip on while I procrastinate and watch Supernatural.

When I first took a sip, I recalled there was caramel and vanilla and was sorta confused as there was a different taste in there that was neither caramel or vanilla and it did not taste like tea. It was not a bad taste, just confusing. Then I looked at the ingredients and realized I was picking up some of the citrus from the bergamot. That is the flavor that I am finding most noticeable but it manages to stay away from Earl Grey territory (not that I mind Earl Grey) because it blends with the vanilla and caramel notes to have a different flavor profile. It is lemon-y, and vanilla-y sweet with a nice touch of caramel flavoring. I do wish there could be a bit more vanilla and caramel for a sweeter/less citrus-y tea but I suppose that could be corrected by anyone willing to add sweetener to their cup. All in all, a very delicious cup of tea :) Thanks again Cavocorax!

Yay, Supernatural! I just started Season Two.

I am actually fully caught up but I am a little in love with Dean so I like to rewatch older episodes. Usually I just record whatever episode they play on TV and watch that but I just realized they added the show to Netflix so now I might be marathoning the show from episode one. haha.

I started watching right after I moved to Saskatoon (about three months ago) and am on Season 8 now… About a third of the way through. My roommate got me really into it.

Eeekkk, Sorry to butt in, I saw Supernatural mentioned on the Explore feed and I just had to stop by and fangirl a moment.
I started watching SPN in season 7 and have recently (thanks to Netflix) starting watching it from the very beginning, currently in season 2.

VariaTEA

I started watching last year around this time which was a pretty bad choice given I was nearing exams and when I like a show I tend to marathon it until I am fully caught up (which was 7 seasons to get through). I ended up taking about a month because I did need to make time for studying and exams and life. haha. I think that is part of the reason why I chose to watch Supernatural tonight and not start a completely new show like Doctor Who or Breaking Bad or another of the awesome series they have on Netflix now. At least this way it won’t be so hard to stop watching because I know all the episodes and what happens.

And don’t worry about butting in Hesper June. I definitely understand the urge to join conversations about Supernatural.

Hesper June

Ah, I knew you would understand…us Supernatural people just can’t help talking about the show:)

Wow. I have yet to watch any of it (ducks) however I have several friends that either have, or still work on the show behind the scenes. Just the stories I’ve heard from these folks make me want to see what the hubbub is about.

Profile

Bio

My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!

For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu’erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, toffee, cookie, cream, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well.

I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won’t drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can’t stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.

Tea Ratings Guide (as of December 10, 2017)
90-100 Teas I NEED on hand at all times
80-89 Teas I want to keep around for a cup every now and then
70-79 Teas I am glad I have around and can experiment with but probably don’t need more than what’s in my cupboard
60-69 Teas I would not turn down a cup of from a friend but that would probably be enough
50-59 Teas I can see why someone would enjoy but are not for me
Under 50 Teas I really did not like and most likely got dumped
