Hello, friends! I hope you are all safe and well. It's been an eventful -- albeit odd at times -- year. I once again have gone a long stretch without posting, but in mid-June, my daughter was born, so I have been focused on caring for her. I can't believe how much she's grown in [...]
When Estee Cheng from Esteas reached out and asked if I wanted to try her teas, I was excited, especially for the Duck Shit Oolong. I'd seen it around and have always been curious what all the hype was about, and where the name came from so I looked forward to tasting it. I [...]
I love my berry tisanes, and this one is no exception. One of Adagio Teas' spring blends, Berry Creme Compote is a pretty pink delicious seasonal spring herbal blend packed with lots of flavor. Ingredients: Rose Hips, Hibiscus, Apple Pieces, Blue Cornflowers, Natural Creme Flavor, Blueberries, Strawberries, Raspberry Leaves, Natural Strawberry Flavor, Natural Blueberry Flavor, Raspberries & [...]
I feel like there's been a theme to the teas I have been drawn to lately. I've been trying to eat healthier and cut sugar and sweets, so I've been trying to fill that void with fruity teas. And a lot of the teas I've been trying have been summery. Today follows suit: I'm reviewing [...]

The cool thing about teas is how much flavor they have. Even if they aren't a "flavored" tea, all teas have different aromas and tastes to them, and some may even be different from person to person. The tea I'm reviewing is a Yatra Tea Company's fine first flush black tea from Goomtee Estate, which [...]
The former Michigander in me got really excited when I stumbled upon Adagio's cherry green while looking for things to try with my tea rep voucher for this month.
I promise that I will get back on a regular posting schedule soon! Last weekend we made a quick trip back to Michigan for a wedding, but things are starting to slow down now so I am finally falling into a routine of sorts. I finally found some time this week to do a tea [...]
Some black teas are too bitter or strong, some black teas are too caffeinated, but some black teas are just right. Yatra Tea Company's First Flush from Glendale Estate, SFTGFOP Orthodox production black tea is that kind of tea. It's smooth, refreshing, and something I could definitely drink on the daily. This tea is very [...]
