since I bought the bags of chai pumpkin spice, I hafta make room in the tea bag organizer.so I\’m gonna binge mint medley.this is one of the teas the bf was trying when he was still looking for a go-to tea.it\’s not bad at all, a bit more minty than I prefer, but whatevs. steep…

I\’m a sucker for pumpkin and I love chai so here we are ^_~ steep time: 3 minssteep temp: unknownadded: 3 perfecteaspoons of rock sugar, 1 half & half

so I added more tea and also increased the temp and steep time.just look at these leaves!and the tea had more color this time.  bit more bitter though. steep time: 2minssteep temp: 175º Fadded: n/a

one of my profs gave me some tea he had been gifted by someone who brought it back from china.my prof dislikes green tea, so jackpot for me.the leaves are much bigger than what I\’m used to, and I think I will use more for the next batch I brew.  and maybe try a higher…

nothing like some hot tea on a cold morning ^_^ steep time: 2 minssteep temp: 200º Fadded: 2 perfecteaspoons of rock sugar

after that horrid experience I decided to go with something I know and love.and I do love this tea.I still check teavana everyday to see if it goes on sale so I can buy another pound.this is a tea that I have kept on hand since I first started drinking it.rip jade citrus mint, you…

I ended up with about 2 teaspoons left…  clearly not enough for another pot…  so this round of tea is just gonna be especially strong.I\’m focusing on bags that are already open with about 1 pot\’s worth of tea left.it\’s going well, I think. steep time: 5 minssteep temp: 205º Fadded: 1 perfecteaspoon of rock sugar…

didn\’t really have enough of this left for a proper pot, but I guess I\’ll just hafta live with weak tea.but!  another tea has come and gone.great progress. this tea isn\’t bad.  I mean, I like it well enough.it was part of a sample pack or something.don\’t think I\’ll buy it again, which is a…

so you know how I\’d been saving the last serving of this tea?well, 2 things.1) I\’m celebrating – I got a job.  my previous employer is taking me back.2) I actually ordered another tin on amazon a couple of weeks ago. I love this tea ^_^ steep time: 5 minssteep temp: 205º Fadded: 3 heaping…

I ended up saving the last two bags of green tea with mint to have with the bf.he declined, so I\’m having green tea with mint again today. steep time: 2 minssteep temp: unknownadded: n/a

so, the bf bought a light to put under the cabinet where I keep my kettles, and holy shit my kettle looked gross. honestly I\’ve been meaning to clean it for aaages but I have no idea which box the kitchen scale is in. I broke down and bought a cheap kitchen scale last night…

if I can have 3 more cups of green tea with mint,we\’ll be out of green tea with mint.it\’s gotta happen, especially since I just replaced the green tea with mint cubby with sweet dreams ^_^ steep time: 2 minssteep temp: unknownadded: n/a

smells so amazing, and since I have half and half I\’m gonna binge chai today ^_^ before/after/after with cream steep time: 3 minssteep temp: 205º Fadded: 3 perfectea spoons of rock sugar, 1 half & half

I love guavas.I have discovered, however, that I dislike guava tea.unfortunately, I bought several guava teas back before I knew this.as far as guava teas go, this one is actually really good.but with all the other options out there,  I don\’t think I\’d buy it again. before/after: steep time: 2:30 minssteep temp: 205º Fadded: 2…

this was a lovely tea!  reminded me very much of khan\’s delight. before/after: steep time: 5 minssteep temp: 212º Fadded: about 1 and a half perfect teaspoons of rock sugar

wanted more chai, so here we are.dug out this sample teavana sent me, and it includes rock sugar so I didn\’t add any.another before/after steep time: 3 minssteep temp: 195º Fadded: n/a

I had some after-dinner tea last night at the restaurant we were at.it was a much more mild chai than I think I\’ve ever had before.I\’m not sure how much of that was due to water temperature, though, as I had no control over it.I\’m interested in buying some and trying it out again, but…

I\’m not sure if I mentioned this here or not, but I \”heard\” (read: saw it on youtube) that forever nuts by davidstea is just like what caramel almond amaretti used to be like.so of course, I ordered some.  in fact, I ordered quite a bit (buy 2 tins get 1 free).I got the order…

I\’m on the fence about posting every day, or just posting when I switch teas.while I\’m here it won\’t make much of a difference, but once I get back home it might.I dunno…  that\’d be way easier on instagram or tumblr since they have apps that I can upload photos to straight from my phone.we\’ll see.now!  on to…

this is pretty good.  reminds me of sweet dreams by bigelow, which is genuinely one of my favorite bagged teas.I still prefer sweet dreams but without strings on these bags it\’s gonna be hard to argue in favor of sleepytime.plus, I\’ve still got several boxes of sweet dreams from when I ordered a ton of…

I\’ve given up on the chamomile.it was good after I added honey…  enough honey that it tasted pretty much like honey water.occasionally I\’ll buy those honey sticks and just drink them.but I think I\’m gonna just throw the rest of the chamomile out.only two bags left, so nbd. I\’ve moved on to lemon zinger.it\’s not…

I found a couple of packages of mcdonald\’s honey and decided to add some to my chamomile tea this morning.better than yesterday\’s 😀  still not what I would call \”good\” 😦(I tried taking a straight on pic to show the color better but it didn\’t really pan out) steep time: 2 minssteep temp: ~ 185℉added:…

after how good the honey vanilla chamomile was, I decided to go for chamomile!sorry for the shitty cutting board pics but I was trying to get closer to the light…  bad lighting since most everything has been moved.it\’s much yellower (both this and the honey vanilla chamomile) than it appears in these photos. the honey…

well, best without sugar.  I take my black teas with a ton of sugar added, and I didn\’t bring any rock sugar with me >_< I\’ve been staying at the empty house all week and both my kettles and tea have already moved.I remembered I keep a cheap kettle in the math office (I spend a…

ok so, I drink a lot of tea.It\’s kind of ridiculous, but in my defense I spend so much of my time being cold!there\’ve been several teas that I\’ve fallen in love with that I can\’t find anymore, either due to being discontinued or because of bad luck.we\’re moving into a much smaller house so…
