I already told you about the liquid, cherry-flavoured penicillin that was forced upon me when I was but a tiny Gluttonette, so I will spare you a rerun. Keywords like, ‘very vomity’, ‘traumatized’, and ‘still terrified of Dr. Pepper’ might help jog your memory. Artificial cherry flavouring, hence, is about as far from what I …

Tea review
Houji Fruits – Lupicia
Oh, oh, oh, so nice. You remember that little Apricot Houji burial that took place at Fiumicino a while back? This one has that same perfectly balanced smooth houijicha base with the addition of fruitiness. Comparing this to the apricot is somewhat unfair – in that tea, one fruit was allowed the full range of …
Milk Caramel – Lupicia
This is interesting – I bought this with very low expectations, as it sounds so generic – I mean, caramel this or caramel that seems to be in everything – it’s hardly a novelty. Then again, it’s Lupicia, so I absolutely had to try it. In the bag, this is a boozefest – a very …
Montagne de Jade – Mariage Frères
I’m so unteaful right now it’s silly. I had a pot of this the other day; it was really nice and made me want more tea, but then I… didn’t have more tea. I don’t know if it’s because I relate tea drinking so much to writing tasting notes now. At the moment all the …
Thé des Impressionnistes – Mariage Frères
Okay, so I had a pot of this today, and it’s a little too perfumey and handcreamy for a whole pot, at least that early in the morning. Boiling, 1 min 30.
Cookie – Lupicia
This week’s Tuesday seminar tea was Cookie. Great seminar, lovely tea, and I’m really, really busy right now. I miss you, tea reviews! I miss you, tea! Kbye.
Paradise Green – Lupicia
I started my day with a pot of this and more strawberries. And banan(n)a. Today was a two-fruit day. Also, Facebook tells me, the day The Breakfast Club met for detention 30 years ago! I don’t know if I’m more excited about that, the multi-fruit situation, or this tea. This one was actually tastier than …
Bravissimo! – Lupicia
Really? I am SERIOUSLY the only person to review this on the tea forum, still? This is such a gorgeous tea, and I wish more people would try it. It’s so well-balanced and delicately, sweetly floral, all the while carried by that nice, light base tea Lupicia do so well. I made myself a whole pot of this …
Havtorn-jordgubb (Sea-Buckthorn Strawberry) – Tehörnan
Okay, so it’s this one again. I’m getting ready for dinner while performing various menial tasks around the apartment and I needed something non-caf. My plan is to hit the rooibos stash pretty hard in the near future, both to achieve some downsippage, and to keep my caffeine intake low. I don’t quite see myself …
Jasmin Chung Hao – Forgeron & Blanc
M left today, many sads. She seemed to be in good spirits, though, but maybe it was just pre-panic, seeing as she is terrified of flying. I’m really not. But she’s cute when she freaks out. Anyway, we split a pot of this and it was nice. Then she tricked me into carrying her suitcase. Classic …
