A whole pitcher of this, cold-steeped… …also gone. Poof. Just like that. Cold-steeped.

Paradise Green – Lupicia
An Agatha Christea mystery in two sentences: First there was a cold-steeped pitcher of this… …and then there wasn’t. Cold-steeped.
Melon White Tea – Lupicia
I don’t technically have time for this tasting note. Shhhh. I had to tell you, though, that this is not what I expected. One of my most beloved iced whites is A.C. Perchs’ White Temple, which has some melon notes. As for Lupicia, I’d only cold steeped their greens before, but they generally come out absolutely perfect. …
Paradise Green – Lupicia
F and I used up all our pilfered wine in the spinach risotto, so we drank the pitcher of this I’d been cold-steeping. I can’t even tell you how much I love Lupicia’s greens iced in summer. They’re just so good. Elegant, delicate, highly drinkable. Now I just have to figure out what to put in …
Chestnut – Lupicia
This is very good, but not quite as good as last time. It has a burnt quality to it that I just don’t feel like today – I think today might just not be the right day for this tea. It’s not illicit library tea. It’s not voting day tea. It’s not bad tea. It’s …
Kotobuki – Lupicia
This is illicit library tea. Before anyone gets on my case, please know that the tea is on the windowsill, FAR away from any books and/or my desk. And I create far less of a disturbance this way than by running between the library and my apartment every time I need to have some tea. Okay? Okay. …
Studio 54 – Bönor och Blad
I wish I had been more elaborate about picking my voting day tea – this is not like me at all. But it was hard – I mean, what does civic duty taste like? So I just picked the black tea that smelled most appealing this morning, and, apparently, civic duty tastes like Studio 54, which …
Thé du Hammam Rooibos – Palais des Thés
I’ve been working most of the weekend, so I figured I’d take some time off before bed and watch a movie and drink a cup of tea. In terms of the tea, I’m trying to be a good decaffeinated Anna and drink my rooibos. I chose this, because it’s so luxurious and smooth and always …
Melon White Tea – Lupicia
After all this talk of Lupicia’s Melon White I obviously had to have a cup. Hilariously, in my latest review of this tea, I commented that I could probably dump 300 degree water on it, and it would still taste perfect. I’ve tried steeping Lupicia’s greens and whites in various temp/steep time constellations just for …
Bravissimo! – Lupicia
Every time I pick this up again, I’m all like, ‘I know I rated this a solid 95, but seriously, how good can it be?’ and then I smell it and I’m all, ‘Oh, right, it’s this one.’ and then I steep it and drink it and it’s just so insanely good. The florals are complex and beautifully …
