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 …

Lupicia
Paradise Green – Lupicia
I’m not reviewing much lately – more than anything, it’s because I currently produce so much text on a daily basis that writing more feels like a chore, plus Steepster has been a bit wonky lately. Not to mention the fact that I just haven’t been drinking that much tea at all. I’ve had exactly …
Amanatsu Oolong – Lupicia
I figured this would be one of Lupicia’s candy oolongs – see, I’ve found there are two main categories. The candy oolongs are all rolled oolongs, and all over the top in terms of bursting-with-flavour fruitiness – like the Melon Oolong, or this one. They all have added pieces of something reminding me of those …
Chestnut – Lupicia
How utterly weird – this is so much closer to what I expected the Milk Caramel I tried yesterday to be. And may I say wow. This is a very impressive tea. In the bag it smells like a gooey, chestnutty bread pudding. There is a toffee-like quality to it, too, which carries through right …
Kotobuki – Lupicia
I had no special hopes for this one – I know I’m beginning to sound like a broken record here, but this order was the first time I purchased from Lupicia without doing the full-on, in-store smelling thing, so I really just picked out things that could just as easily be a miss. In the …
Houji Fruits – Lupicia
Oh, oh, oh, so nice. You remember that little Apricot Houji burial that took place at Fiumicino a while back? This one has that same perfectly balanced smooth houijicha base with the addition of fruitiness. Comparing this to the apricot is somewhat unfair – in that tea, one fruit was allowed the full range of …
Milk Caramel – Lupicia
This is interesting – I bought this with very low expectations, as it sounds so generic – I mean, caramel this or caramel that seems to be in everything – it’s hardly a novelty. Then again, it’s Lupicia, so I absolutely had to try it. In the bag, this is a boozefest – a very …
Decaf Momo – Lupicia
French Lupicia have renamed a lot of the teas on their website – Momo, for example, isn’t Momo, but Pêche blanche, which is well and all, but it’s confusing even for second-language-French, third-language-English me, so I’m going to add the French names to the tea description – I hope this is okay with everyone. Thankfully, …
Cookie – Lupicia
This week’s Tuesday seminar tea was Cookie. Great seminar, lovely tea, and I’m really, really busy right now. I miss you, tea reviews! I miss you, tea! Kbye.
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 …
