I need some caffeination before heading out – I often forget about this tea, but thanks to a person on the tea forum who recently reviewed a swap box sample of it, I was reminded. It’s light and floral and delicate, but without the weakness of flavour I loathe so much in Dammann Frères’ teas. …

Tea review
Tsugaru Green – Lupicia
This is all quite sad, but that was the very last of it. I dropped the remains into a pitcher and cold-steeped over night. It’ll last me to the end of the day, but this is definitely a tea I will miss very much until I restock. This remains my favourite crisp, green apple tea …
Champagne grädd rooibos (Champagne & Cream Rooibos) – Tehörnan
I will always have a special fondness for the Swedish (= German) champagne blends, even though I know how chemical they come off to other brave tea drinkers I have exposed to them. This is one of the few rooibos teas I will want to restock when I’m back in Sweden, and as you can …
Ripe Mango Oolong – Lupicia
I’ve taken to making whole pots of tea for myself now that I have a good teapot – it saves time now that I’m mostly in work mode. Rome is beautiful right now, but tourist season is here with a vengeance and I’m glad I already got most of my on-site work out of the way. Anyway, …
Rouge Provence – Mariage Frères
I had Em and M (I did not do that on purpose) over for dinner and we had a pot of this because Em was all ‘no caffeine because sleep no caf no caf hyper’. And M, who stayed in my apartment while I was away was all, ‘okay so I found your tea stash and are …
Shaken Sweet Tea – Starbucks
So good. So sweet. So good, though. In other news, I think it might be illegal to eat this much, even in the south. Iced.
Mango Iced Tea – Still Perkin’
It was iced tea. Not particularly, sweet, which I usually consider a bonus. A little bland, though. Mango? It might just has well have been peach or apricot or some other stonefruity brew. Major extra points for the awesome little green anole on the terrace. Iced.
Grapefruit Green – Lupicia
So I steeped this for 1.5 minutes. (Inside joke.) Boiling, 1 min 30.
Apricot Houji – Lupicia
So I promised I’d give the last of this a fair sendoff. It’s the last bag. The last bag FOREVER, because it doesn’t seem like Lupicia make this anymore. Unfortunately, because this has really grown on me. Or rather, I’ve been the one doing the growing, and I can now appreciate the complexity of this tea. …
Tsugaru Green – Lupicia
I’m having a cup of this while eating a (very large) strawberry. I find myself quite pleased with the whole thing. Boiling, 1 min 30.
