It's been long time since I've said hello... I swear I never meant to stop documenting my cup of tea here forever (trust that I definitely never stopped drinking tea 😉)--I was just going through some things over the past couple years. I'm still going through some things, but I want to continue this blog… Continue reading Tea Tasting #6: Still Drinking Tea (Yorkshire Biscuit Brew Tea)

Tea Tasting #5: Ah, Yes, Nostalgia! (Chai Tea Latte from Starbucks)
So, I thought it would be fun to go back to the beginnings of my tea interest: the chai tea latte from Starbucks. Technically this isn't the first chai tea latte I'd ever tasted (that goes to the chai tea latte from Emack and Bolios which is another tea tasting for another day...) nor is… Continue reading Tea Tasting #5: Ah, Yes, Nostalgia!

I only know about hojicha because some weeks ago, maybe… Continue reading Tea Tasting #3: Hojicha, Hojicha, Hojicha (Hojicha)
Tea Tasting #2: Wow, I Burned the Tea (King of Silver Needles)
I'm usually a lot better about watching how long I steep my tea, but, this time, I utterly failed so my tasting notes may be slightly inaccurate for me. I ordered a pot of tea at The Whistling Kettle and I totally burned it because I overestimated how long a bag of white tea can… Continue reading Tea Tasting #2: Wow, I Burned the Tea (King of Silver Needles)
Tea Tasting #1: The Tea I Bought in Place of Another (Lapsang Souchong)
What I wanted was Russian caravan, but what I bought was lapsang souchong. Why? I was in a tea shop telling my friend the very little I knew about the two teas (only that I had heard that they were a little similar in taste due to Russian caravan being a tea blend that usually… Continue reading Tea Tasting #1: The Tea I Bought in Place of Another (Lapsang Souchong)
