Impressive tea

Post by Lord Libidan »

I'm a MASSIVE tea fan, so buy loads of teas from around the web. I even have a tasting spreadsheet. :P

Considering no stitcher is complete without a brew of some kind, I though I would share a recent find:
https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/teaman

Considering they're all handmade, and there are so many flavours I was shocked at how good the quality was for the price.
Definitely recommend them. I think they're better than Adiago tbh.

OH MY GOD. I want to buy ALL of them!

I'm such a lover of tea since moving over here. They seem to have some really lovely sounding flavors too that I don't normally find.

Edited to add: What?? All the ones I want are listed as only shipping to the US. /cry

Don't worry, jut email him and he'll sort I out. It cost £6 to get the 52 flavours trial ones to me. He standard US shipping is £4. Pretty good deal.

I simply can't get enough tea. Best invention EVER!

Welp there goes my cash... I fricking love tea, hardly ever get to try out new flavours though. I'm having a phase of fruity teas atm, so refreshing! :)

Fruit flavoured green teas FTW!
Lots of people I work with have said the same of trying new flavours actually. I really should start up a bog to suggest good ones...

Bwahaha, this typo (at least I hope it's a typo!) made me chuckle. I'm currently in a fruity tea phrase which is a bit of a pain. I keep seeing a Twinnings Mango and Strawberry flavoured tea and picking it up to try, then check the ingredients and find it contains oprange peel (I'm allergic to orange). I must have picked it up at least 4 times now - you think I'd have learnt!

Definitley tempted, but may have to wait until after payday. There are some really tasty sounding ones!

Also, vanilla Early Grey? Surpirisingly tasty.

I know the one you're talking about and honestly, I was disappointed. It wasn't as nice as I had hoped.

I'm currently crushing on the Twinings Warming Camomile & Spiced Apple tea. Its so damn good.

I found vanilla tea (not earl grey, just normal tea) in the local Polish shop and it was really quite good. I tend to randomly stop by Polish shops that are around because they often have flavours I can't find in the normal supermarkets. Some of them are simple enough like raspberry, but some are really good.

It's all about twinings caramalised apple green. Super hard to find outside of big out of town tescos, but just perfect.
And I agree, the mango strawberry is disappointing. The flavours just aren't strong enough to be isolated as tastes.

Ok, so waited til I got home so I could get these names right. I was wrong, it wasn't vanilla tea, it was vanilla caramel tea! Its actually made my Lipton and super tastey.

The other general flavoring of teas that I've been liking have had chocolate.

Yogi Tea Choco Aztec Spice - add a bit of sweetener/sugar and its like... liquid gold in your mouth. I can't say it any other way. Everybody should totally taste this stuff. Its just fantastic.

There's also a Chocolate Almond Black Tea by Kingfisher Tea that is super tastey too.

Ironically, Ive been considering quitting my job and opening a tea store where I live......finding money to do that is a big pain though. I get all my teas from Mountain Rose Herbs. A little black tea, one herbal teas, and I got some red tea. That is some interesting stuff right there. Take a look. https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/
