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 …

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 …
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, …
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.
Melon White Tea – Lupicia
This white should be lo-caf enough for the evening. Lupicia are just too good – whenever I open this bag, I have an instant, irrational, want-to-turn-around-and-check, ‘But where is the melon hiding?’ type reaction. It’s just that melony. I honestly can’t think of anything that could make this better or more melon-esque. And to continue my general …
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 …
Momo Oolong Super Grade – Lupicia
I cold-steeped some in the fridge over two days – I’ve found if I do less leaf/more time, it’s more flavourful and definitely sweeter. That sounded scientific, right? Obviously, I just forgot I even had the pitcher in there last time around. But hey, that’s how we got champagne! (I know, I know, it’s just …
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 …
