Made a pot of Forever Nuts tonight. I'm letting it steep longer than usual. I didn't enjoy Forever Nuts during the 24 Days of Tea, but everyone tells me to let it steep longer...so I'm trying it again with the second little tin.

*fingers crossed*

Meh.

I certainly won't waste my money on this one.

I have about 20-25g of la la lemon that I would like to trade! It's in an enveloppe so I could easily put it in the mail at low charge.

Anyone has something to offer me in return? :D

I picked up 50g of Red Velvet Cake, 25g of Aloha Pu'erh and 25g of Berry Good Pu'erh yesterday. I haven't tried the Pu'erhs yet.

I don't know how I feel about DAVIDsTEA anymore. I'm a "collector" (my denial word for "hoarder") by nature so when I try new flavours and like them I feel the need to have them...in a tin.

Already in my tins collection: Cream of Earl Grey, Sleigh Ride, Santa's Secret, Buddha's Blend, Chocolate Chili Chai.

Currently in pouches (and will get a tin of when gone): Oh Canada!, Glitter and Gold, Red Velvet Cake

Teas I don't have any of, but want (in a tin): Cocomint Cream, David's Organic Breakfast, Cookie Dough, Mamma Mia, Kiwi's Big Adventure

I should probably stop trying new flavours since I already have so many "favourites" on my list.

Most of my red velvet went to Dr. Sonia M. (that's what the envelope says - I couldn't remember how to spell your last name, and, I figured it was better than "Dr. S.")

I'm trying it right now with milk and a bit of sugar. My coworkers love the smell.

I'm still not liking it. This will be my last cup.....so, I still have some more here if anyone wants it.

My husband mailed your la la lemon yesterday! I'll grab something else from work this week :D

Looking forward to trying new teas!

I just stocked up at David's Tea last night.

Picked up:
- Birthday Cake (yummy)
- Decaf Earl Grey (trying to cut down on my caffeine)
- Bear Trap (to put in with my Earl Grey, I like flavoured Earl Greys)
- Organic Lemon Myrtle (again, to put in with my Earl Grey)

I have a few "free to a good home" teas - would be happy to mail, since they're small quantities:

Aloha Pu'erh
http://www.davidstea.com/aloha-pu-erh?& ... 663F&DEID=
This is from my sampler, so probably only one cup worth.

Lapsang Souchong - about 12g
http://www.davidstea.com/organic-lapsan ... A52D&DEID=
This is a straight black tea with a really strong smokey taste. I've heard you either love it or hate it.

Salted Caramel - about 12g
http://www.davidstea.com/salted-caramel ... 3BE2&DEID=

Let me know if anyone wants one ore more! :D

If you want to know what a house smells like the day after a major house fire - smell the Lapsang Souchong. Jesse let me smell it and it brought back flashbacks like you wouldn't believe!

I'd love to take your Persian Apple and Toasted Marshmallow off your hands!

I wasn't super enthused by the descriptions of any of the spring ones. :( Is it sad that I was really looking forward to today to hear what they would be? I do like coconut though, so maybe I'll try the oolong.

I did try the Tea of the Month the other day - http://www.davidstea.com/coco-lemon-tha ... DFA0&DEID=

It was like thai food in a cup! Not an every day tea, but quite yummy.
