While in Toronto, I am surrounded by Bubble Tea places and none are more prevalent than Chatime. Luckily I enjoy their teas…well most of them. And now they are on UberEats so I can enjoy my bubble tea without ever leaving the comfort of my own home. So that is awesome.

During my first order, I decided to try a non-milk bubble tea, the Honey Green Tea. That is when I discovered I didn’t actually like all the teas Chatime had to offer. It was bitter and just not good. Check out my full review here: http://sororiteasisters.com/2017/05/10/honey-green-tea-from-chatime/

On the other hand, there are some teas that I truly love when I go for my bubble tea fix. My personal favorite is the QQ Honeydew Milk Tea but when I am feeling a little nostalgic, the banana-medicine flavor of the Banana Milk Tea hits the spot. Check out my full review of that tea here: http://sororiteasisters.com/2017/03/25/banana-milk-tea-from-chatime/

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
