Tuesday Night with Harlow Tea Co #drinkmilitia #tea #teageek #tealove #handblendtea

 Tonight I was in the mood for a shaken iced tea so I grabbed Say Aloha and Get Toasted from Harlow Tea Co.  Every blend that I have had from Harlow Tea Co has been incredibly fresh and impressive. I had no doubt that I would adore these two blends.

Say Aloha is a lovely blend of Houjicha green tea, hibiscus flower, myrtle leaf, strawberry leaf, dried strawberries, dried pineapple, dried…

Get Your Kettle Ready! Yuzu Ginger Macaron Cookie White Tea from 52Teas #52Teas @52Teas #drinkmilitia #teageek

I know I review a lot of 52Teas but I just can’t help it. I love the unique and different flavors that run amuck in their teas. (Amuck! Amuck! Amuck!)

Groot Root from Geeky Teas. . . .@geekyteas #drinkmilitia #tea #greentea #geektea

Today I finally opened up one of the last teas I have from Geeky Teas.  I have been in talks with Donna @ Geeky Teas for a new order but until that one arrives, I have maybe 2 teas left to try out from my big sampler pack I picked up a few months ago. This one was a tea that I didn’t think I was going to like so I left it for last. Shame on me for being judging!

Groot Root Teais a blend of…

A couple months ago, my hubby gave me an amazing birthday present.  VIP Wizard World Passes to meet David Tennant and Billie Piper otherwise known as the 10th Doctor and Rose.

As you can imagine there were tears and squeals when he told me.  He gave me the passes on Valentine’s Day knowing that I would need time to figure out what I was going to wear and just get it into my brain that I was…
