Oh, okay, wow. So I’m having quite the The O Dor sample party today, courtesy of some Steepster friends and the EU swap box. Before yesterday, I was a Theodor virgin, but things are getting pretty depraved pretty fast over here. All these preconceived notions of what I’m going to like are so often completely turned on …

Celebration – Theodor
This has been a bit of a revelation, to be honest – I have come to a realization. I’m just going to come right out and say it. I don’t need chocolate teas in my life. Honestly, that’s pretty huge on a tea preferences scale, seeing as I love everything else chocolate. Seriously – chocolate is …
Jamaïque – Mariage Frères
Right, so how do I even explain the origin of this sample? Well, we’re doing the second round of the EU swap box, and a Steepster friend forgot to put one of the samples she wanted to send out in the box… so she sent an envelope, too, a few days later. Of course, seeing …
Inachevée de Constantinople – Theodor
So a while back I received some samples from a Steepster friend, but I have neither been in possession of the time nor the faculties for note writing until now, so the samples have had to wait patiently. In very pretty air-tight containers, though, so they haven’t exactly been languishing. My benefactress had recommended 75C …
Vanilla Orchid – David’s Tea
So I was going to wish my friend I haven’t talked to in a while a happy birthday but it turned out she was dead. I didn’t die when I was 28. Neither did you. (I guess we got lucky.) So happy belated birthday, and happy Valentine’s Day. The tea? Oh, it tastes the same …
Ripe Mango Oolong – Lupicia
Usually, when my luggage gets lost, I enjoy myself, because hey, free clothes. But this time around, I don’t really need anything. And Italy is the worst possible place for me to shop for basics. They don’t have my toothpaste. They don’t have toothbrushes I like. (Seriously. I have to TRAVEL to find reasonably soft toothbrushes here.) They don’t …
Piccolo Principe – Il Coloniale Rimini
It’s a sopping wet mess over here right now. Just rain, rain and rain. I was out for lunch with a friend and we gave up even trying to be outside when the worst downpour started. We found ourselves right beside this place that I’ve walked past for years and years but never tried (https://bit.ly/2BmFA0V) …
Grön & Skön – Kobbs
I don’t really know how to rate this – it’s the best green available at my home airport lounge, so I drink it whenever I’m traveling – more out of habit than strong preference. It gets bitter very easily, and I rarely finish my cup. I’m making this sound so much worse than it is …
Melon Oolong – Lupicia
I’ve been on holiday, and it’s been awesome. I can’t even remember the last time I was this tanned. My eyebrow person had to go several shades darker than normal, so I declare this tanning effort a success. I shared a pot of this while cooking up a storm for friends and chosen family. As always, it’s …
Hong Kong Milk Tea – Cafe Central Nguyen Hue
Just a random tasting note from HCMC. Tasty milk tea, added a bit of sweetener as this was technically my dessert. Weather all balmy, nice to be back. Considering sneaking a midnight swim in the closed pool, but I’ve hit four countries today and worry there might be some kind of time-space vortex at the bottom …
