A2 Local… Strawberry Bamboo ~ TeaGschwendner 17 Apr 201520 Dec 2015 I just realized I haven't reviewed a TeaHaus tea in awhile. For the third and last test to see if my tetsubin still has what it takes, I decided to…
76%… Cinnamon Orange Spice Green ~ Tea Temptations 15 Apr 201520 Dec 2015 I'm kind of ambivalent when it comes to tisanes. Obviously most people think of them as legit tea and tea shops who know their stuff have a 1/4 of their menu…
88%… Earl Grey ~ Eli & Tetsubin Rust 13 Apr 201520 Dec 2015 I haven't been brewing with my tetsubin (if you aren't familiar with cast iron tea pots check out this previous post before reading today's) in a while and when i went to…
A2 Local… Excursion: Unity Vibration, the Triple Goddess Tasting Room & Strawberry Kombucha 5 Apr 201520 Dec 2015 I'm thinking of making "Tea Excursions" a weekly blog event. The only issue is, in reality they're too few and far in between and it's more likely coincidence that I've…
86%… Steamed Green Darjeeling ~ Eli Tea 3 Apr 201520 Dec 2015 So it appears the title formatting poll ended in a tie: one vote for the tilde and one vote for the parenthesis. >.> Putting aside the disheartening lack of participation for…
87%… Island Green ~ Charleston 1 Apr 201520 Dec 2015 I've previously reviewed one other example of Charleston's all-American grown tea, so I was excited when I was given the chance to snatch up another variety of their rare tea…
77%… Meng Song Green Tuocha ~ PurePuer 30 Mar 201520 Dec 2015 During my last tea excursion to TranquiliTea, I found this fascinating Chinese Tuocha made from Green rather than Pu-erh tea. Now I know some of you who love to fight…
A2 Local… Pumpkin Spice Brulée ~ ChocolaTea 28 Mar 201530 Jan 2016 I continue to encounter friends and acquaintances that love tea, and the extent of their tea knowledge derives solely from two or three things they've tried at TeaVana. Obviously such…
97%… Gyokuro ~ Eli 26 Mar 201529 Sep 2016 Warning, fangirl gushing ahead... After writing so many of these posts, eventually at some point if a vendor chooses to simply call their tea "gyokuro", I can't really let that…
95%… Bourbon Black Blend ~ Elmwood Inn 24 Mar 201520 Dec 2015 One of the crazy fun things I unearthed this last weekend at TranquiliTea is the one of a kind Elmwood Inn Fine Tea's Bourbon Black Blend tea. Combining Kentucky's charred-oak…
Black… Excursion: Eli Tea & Nilgiri Glendale 22 Mar 201520 Dec 2015 Yesterday morning before dawn my screwball "misadventure" gene rage activated for whatever reason. I started searching every town I knew how to get into and out of in Michigan (and…
90%… Excursion: TranquiliTea’s 4th Annual Harney Affair & Kagoshima 21 Mar 201520 Dec 2015 This morning I was tickled and honored to sample a tea that TranquiliTea brought into the store by my request. TranquiliTea sent out an email to its newsletter members a…
92%… Green Jasmine ~ Whittard 20 Mar 201520 Dec 2015 On Monday I attended a house warming party/mahjong meetup for a friend in my nerdy anime clic thing. Her roommate offered to brew us some tea and among the fun…
88%… India Breakfast ~ Tulsi 19 Mar 201520 Dec 2015 Today's post is the first of the week, coming on a Thursday, and it was actually supposed to have been one of last week's theme blogs... *dies* Suffice it to…
A2 Local… Youthberry via Starbucks 13 Mar 201530 Jan 2016 Ack. I was buried under a blizzard of work today and didn't get around to that third fair trade review I promised. It'll probably be pushed back to next week.…
