I don’t really feel like drinking anything citrusy right now, but my all oolong all the time agenda must not be abandoned, so I decided to revisit this. I completely agree with everything I said in my last tasting note for this – that it’s delicately flavoured compared to other Lupicia oolongs of the same …
I decided to have this long-ignored oolong that I remember enjoying last time around. Smelling it makes it clear there has been a pretty considerable loss in terms of scent – what remains is a vague sweetness that is pleasant enough, but that doesn’t have anything to do with strawberry to my nose. The same …
I’m a little tired and I need to open a new box of contacts. How I know this? As I squinted at my profile just now, I read, ‘All pets are off’ and wondered what the hell whoever had written it meant by that. Those poor smelly pets. Anyway, this is today’s second batch of Thé …
Today’s tasting notes are going to be wildly unoriginal, as I’ve only had one tea, in two incarnations. This is the first. Hot in spite of the weather, as I had it for breakfast and hot tea really does make more sense for breakfast no matter the weather, in my opinion. I was going to …
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 …
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 …
Okay, so I had a pot of this today, and it’s a little too perfumey and handcreamy for a whole pot, at least that early in the morning. Boiling, 1 min 30.
So good. So sweet. So good, though. In other news, I think it might be illegal to eat this much, even in the south. Iced.
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 …
Okay, so you remember that Thé d’amandine (Comptoir des thés et des épices) review that prompted my Steepster friend Y, our resident fairy godmother of Theodor tea samples to offer some up in the first place? Well, I do. I’ve been so curious about this one – I mean, a comment such as, “Tribute by …
