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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
