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 …

flavored green tea
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.
Montagne de Jade – Mariage Frères
I’m drinking this tea out of my new birthday mug, and it’s been poured from my new birthday teapot. I have named the latter Freddie, after the character Freddie Miles in The Talented Mr. Ripley, because it’s fat-yet-elegant, showy and has weird colouring. Birthdays aren’t very gifty to me, unlike Christmas – I’d rather get …
La Poire – Palais des Thés
There isn’t that much left of this. I will absolutely try to remember to try it iced before the rest of it disappears. I was so sure I’d feel like putting together a huge Lupicia order for my birthday, since I’ll be in US next week anyway, but I haven’t felt the urge. It’s true …
Momoko – Lupicia
It’s not as cold anymore (Okay, Canadians, I know 10 C doesn’t seem very cold to you considering your current weather situation, but it’s really been unusually chilly and wet here.) so I can drink copious amounts of iced tea again. I saved the last of this much beloved and somewhat aged Lupicia tea in …
Ume Vert – Lupicia
An amaretto discussion made me think of Ume Vert. This really is all bitter-almondy plum pits and tongue-tip plum tartness and I still love it. A lot of people seem to have enjoyed it iced. It’s not the first choice I’d think of, but I guess I have to try now. Cold, crisp, plum pit …
Sicilian Blood Orange Green – The Gage
I had dinner at The Gage in Chicago some time in October-November last year, and I was excited to see they actually had loose leaf tea on their dessert menu. I don’t remember what I had for dessert, but I do remember the tea, mainly because I brought some home with me. This was because …
Thé du Hammam – Palais des Thés
This poor tea – it’s been offered to guests on numerous occasions, and swapped, and I have snuck an un-Steepstered cup on occasion. There’s not that much left now, and this is only the second tasting note for it. The shame. I’m so on the fence about Palais des Thés. I know they’re not even …
