18 Aug 201718 Aug 2017

Margaret's Hope... Where have I heard that name before? I’ve rarely seen a liquor as beautiful as Simpson and Vail’s Glen Lochey: a brilliant whiskey-touched Arizona sunset that really just…

Nepal Black ~ DavidsTea

1 May 201625 Sep 2016

Based on the last several DavidsTea reviews, I have come to expect, well, disappointment from their teas. I'm not sure that's fair, but it is the reality. Fortunately, i have…

Today marks the very last ChocolaTea (or, as i like to refer it "CharcoalaTea") review. By that i mean i'm reviewing the last of the rather large batch of tea…

Japan Bancha ~ TeaGschwendner

Wild Black Yunnan ~ DavidsTea

28 Oct 201525 Sep 2016

It's hard for me to resist trying a tea with a name like "Wild Black Yunnan". I know how unlikely it is that DavidsTea's Wild Black Yunnan is actually as…

Ceylon BOP ~ Upton

22 Oct 201525 Sep 2016

It's possible all the extra effort i went to in order to review an actual Dimbula Ceylon was fruitless. Today's tea is so awful i can't really imagine anyone drinking…

Gold Rush ~ DavidsTea

Wild Lover ~ Goldfish

10 Sep 201531 Jan 2016

Definitely a better named tea than some things I've seen this week. Wild Lover may be the best at unfurling among this week's Display Teas. In aroma, the teapot smells a bit…

Bao Zhong High Grade ~ Art of Tea

2 Sep 201531 Jan 2016

As you probably know by now, I don't review many Oolongs. Oolongs are more or less pure poison to the IBS sufferer. Oxidized tea=very disgruntled bowels. ^^;; However, today I am…

Miraculously, I still have a few teas from my 2013 TeaVana Forbidden Kingdom gift set that I haven't touched on. Since today is the midway point of the month of…
