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 …
Ofelia – Sing Tehus
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. …
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 …
