I was excited when this came back into my cupboard courtesy of Evol Ving Ness (thank you!!) since this is certainly a favorite. I was saving it for a special occasion though I wasn’t sure what that occasion would be. Well, today I discovered I was accepted to a law school!! I wasn’t expecting to be accepted anywhere, let alone get early acceptance. Now, even if I get rejected everywhere else…I AM IN!!! I am happy and very, very nauseous but I have a special occasion and so this tea get brewed up…as a chocolate milk latte.

This is chocolatey but with a big punch of walnut flavor. It’s like a fudgy walnut brownie and it’s awesome! Thank you again Evol Ving Ness for the chance to revisit an old favorite.

That’s incredible! I gave up on trying to go to Law school a few months ago. Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you and you shouldn’t give up if it’s what you really want. Trust me, I was almost 100% sure it wasn’t going to happen for me. This is the second time I applied and even though I didn’t expect anything but rejections, I figured I would apply anyways because you never know unless you try. Just goes to show it can happen.

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
