#lestrade tea

So I tried some Lestrade and Loki tea

I got a couple of samples at the sherlock party I went to so I figured I would do a tiny tiny review of both.

Loki tea

  The smell of the loki tea is so amazingly strong.  I can smell the tea across from the room (the tea was sealed in a ziploc bag too).  I personally really enjoyed the smell of the Loki tea because it's this minty smell that is just divine.  When I made the tea, the smell changes slightly and it became this somewhat sweet smell that I love.  I can't quite explain that smell, but I like it a lot.

  As far as the taste of the tea goes, it was not a strong as I expected.  I thought it would be very minty but when I drank it, I realized that it's really not that minty.  I enjoyed it. it wasn't too strong but it's not too light either. 

  Overall, I really enjoyed the Loki tea.  I always enjoyed minty tea so this one is really not an exception.  I'm really happy with the sample and I will most likely buy a bag in the future

Lestrade tea

  The smell of this tea was really great.  As I sniff through the bag, it has this somewhat sweet smell to it.  I was really excited because the smell was really great.   I can't quite describe the smell (terrible at describing things)

  The taste of this particular tea was actually a bit disappointing.  It was a lot lighter than I expected and I can hardly taste it.  It might be I didn't put enough tea leaves in there but it was very very light.  Most of the flavor came from the smell of the tea.  The tea wasn't bad but it's just way too light for my taste

YES I FINALLY BREWED LESTRADE TEA RIGHT

Boiled water, let it cool for about 3 minutes, steeped a heaping tablespoon of leaves for 3 minutes, promptly poured in some cream and a teaspoon of sugar.

SO YUMMY. FINALLY I HAVE PERFECTED IT.

I'm just writing this down so I can reference it :D

TEA STUFF FOR GRADUATION I LOVE MY FAMILY

My grandma wanted to know stuff she could get me to start me off in college next fall.  Guess who's getting an Adagio petit teapot and a bunch of tea?  :D

I'm supposed to make a short list of tea I want.  So far, I know Lestrade and hibiscus tea are going to be on the list.  Aaaaaah, I'm excited!
