I enjoy drinking tea, so I’ve put together some tea reviews and notes.

There isn’t a whole ton there yet, as I’ve only started making logs fairly recently, but this post will surely grow with time.

Tiny tea review:

Apple Cinnamon Chai from Plum Deluxe

Smells amazing, not very spicy. Fills a niche when I want to feel like I'm having a hot cider but with less sugar. I like it, but it's expensive for what it is. I probably wouldn't have bought it if they weren't local and I hadn't been ordering some gifts. I likely won't re-order it.

Unless you really really want apple, I recommend the Hot Cinnamon Spice tea from NM Tea co instead, which is both cheaper and more flavourful: https://nmteaco.com/Hot-Cinnamon-Spice_p_38.html

Plum Tea "Mental Health Day Green"

I'm pretty picky about greens and don't often like flavoured ones, but this is pleasant. The lemon kind of dominates the flavour but it smells complex with the apple and safflower. Very satisfying to hold and inhale.

I don't know that I'll be running out to buy more because Plum is one of the most expensive places I get tea, but it's nice and I'll definitely enjoy my two pots of this.

I've written my first tea review on my blog: Harney and Sons Birthday Party tea.

For those who don't drink tea normally, and are looking for something fruity and non-tea-like, this decaf black tea might be a great option. It's like "candy tea"--literally a celebration in a cup that's about as far away from traditional tea as you can get!

Tiny tea review: Pai Mu Tan Ginger Orange Peach from New Mexico Tea .

I bought this to see if it would be a nice alternative to ginger lemon. It's pleasant, with a very light fruity flavour and a bit of ginger feel, but lacks the oomph I often want in a ginger tea (since they're a go to when my throat is sore).

I like ginger lemon a lot more, so this one won't become a staple in my house!

Note: I found it a bit finicky to steep perfectly (the perfect flavour for me seemed to be ~20s away from oversteeped, and it was still an issue on 2nd and 3rd steepings). People without those pesky supertaster extra bitter tastebuds might not have the same problem.

New tea today: Huckleberry. This was part of a collection of teas for iced tea but I liked it better warm. Lightly fruity but not super strong, so very much up my alley but it didn't do well on second steeping so it's probably not going to go on the reorder list. I'll enjoy it though!

Also started a book, The Last Dragon King. So far it's heavy on the tropes but not in a bad way, more in a comfortable way that lets me focus on the character interactions. Like the tea it's probably not going to be a "wow" but I'm enjoying it anyhow.
