Lupicia, seriously; how do you even do this? Who flavors these teas? Are they wizards? In the bag, this has that very Lupicia-esque filthy ripe-fruit oolong smell to it that I love so much in, among other teas, Ripe Mango Oolong. It’s an earthy, muddy scent with a hint of fruit rot, intermingling with a very potent …

Cookie – Lupicia
When I received the kind gift of Gluttonette time for tea shopping before leaving the US plus a ride to my favorite mall in Santa Clara, I obviously went straight to Lupicia. The very nice person working the store was helpful and patient with my many demands and inquiries and I found almost everything I wanted. One …
Apricot Houji – Lupicia
When I first reviewed this here: http://gluttonette.com/?p=396, I know I found it on Lupicia’s website, but as I executed my attack on the WVF Lupicia earlier this week, the very nice and patient man helping me told me it had been discontinued. Definitely a sad day, because this tea really gives me massive travel nostalgia, and it manages …
Momoko – Lupicia
I had so much Momoko on my flight. And every single member of the crew made fun of me, as per usual. I cup-steeped after lunch and they were all like hue hue hue, you brought your own little strainer, how adorable. And then I was hanging out in the pantry filling up my thermos and everyone …
Apricot Houji – Lupicia
Oh, I Mosaici lounge at Fiumicino, how I loathe you. But hey, you have hot water. And tiny tiny tiny tea cups, so the bag of Apricot Houji would have been enough for ten of them. But I only had time for two. 90 C, 1 min
Bravissimo! – Lupicia
This is so beautifully floral – if I weren’t already a fan of floral teas, this would make me a believer, I’m sure of it. And it’s so pretty! I’d wear this tea as jewelry; I really would. I know I’m drinking a lot of tea today, but there was a massive thunderstorm (even by …
Tokio – Lupicia
I attempted a pitcher of this iced, much like I did with Paradise Green (also from Lupicia) the other day. This was also very good – but not as good as Paradise Green, which I also have rated slightly higher. So, as opposed to A.C. Perch’s White Temple, which went from good to divine after …
Hua Ki – Lupicia
This is another of the few bagged teas I own. Not only that, it’s also black and from Lupicia, an anomaly in itself – I generally only buy greens and oolongs from them. Not because I’ve had a bad experience, but their blacks always come off as so very lightly scented, and I tend to …
Apricot Houji – Lupicia
Okay. So FINALLY I’m getting around to writing tasting notes for those last tricky teas in my cupboard. This is one of very few bagged teas I own. I got it on sale when I did my big Lupicia run in Hawaii; I’m generally a little cautious with flavoured roasty teas, mostly because they’re confusing to my …
Paradise Green – Lupicia
Right, so someone on Steepster recently talked about wanting to try this one iced, so I figured I’d be a helpful little tea reviewer and give it a shot. And I did. And forgot about it completely. So I think this cold-steeped for a little over 24 hours. I assumed there would be at least …
