Loose Pu’er 2004

24 Feb 201520 Dec 2015

I thought I'd written my last post on Tazo a while back, but no such luck. The dollar-sign eyed monster continues to grab market share of "people trying to cut…

Last Kombucha Post Ever

16 Feb 201522 Mar 2015

Fair warning: today's post is rather lengthy as I ended up waxing philosophical and then managed to scare the crap out of myself while researching the subject... It should probably…

Smooth Strawberry Dream

I don't do much in the way of Rooibos reviews, though during the last tea purge a month ago I realized I do buy a great deal of it. So…

Dark Heart ~ TranquiliTea

11 Feb 201520 Dec 2015

I've written in the past about how Pu-erh is traditionally sold in tuo-cha, or bird's nest shaped tea cakes. Well today, I'm trying one that's just perfect for February and…

British Pudding FrosTea & Red Bean and Sago Taro Balls

Today I'm suffering from some horrible cluster headaches and I don't really have the mental faculties to compose a real blog, so I'm going to copout and do a simple…

CocoCaramel Sea Salt

4 Feb 201530 Jan 2016

The title of this post sounds enticing, doesn't it? Well, don't judge a blog by its title. CocoCaramel Sea Salt is one of the four teas (and I use the…

Today I'm relaxing at home (against all odds I might add; thank you ye smirking braided snow gods!) after an exhausting weekend on the road. To say that today is…

White Tangerine

14 Jan 201520 Dec 2015

Sweet.ology

Yerba Mate Latte

7 Jan 201530 Jan 2016

I'm over the moon happy because the weather outside is just plain unlivable. It's like 18 F with a windchill of 11 below. Totes adores! xD In celebration of hot…

Great Green Monkey

4 Jan 201520 Dec 2015

There's ice on the ground and sleet in the sky! Winter is finally upon us (though not quite as dreadfully frigid, break-into-song, snowman-building, Snow Queen given as I might wish).…

White Chocolate Peppermint

I've let this blog slide for a few weeks now because I haven't really had the opportunity to sit down for more than a handful of minutes and write something…

Formosa Dark Pearl, Lemon Basil and Asatsuyu

23 Dec 201420 Dec 2015

Yes, it's the holiday season, but I'm amusingly strapped for cash. I haven't done much in the way tea shopping in a while, so I'm crossing my fingers for the…
