Tea Review by D
I was looking for a new tea the other day and I came across a loose leaf Vanilla Rooibos at Trader Joe’s. I had never tried it but I had heard lovely things and so I bought some.
I had my first cup a little earlier today and it was lovely! It is caffeine free (Rooibos is a red tea) and has a naturally sweet flavor to it so there is no need for a lot of sugar. I turned mine into a latte by...

Back from shopping!
3 new boxes of tea and various other things leave me a happy D.
I splurged a tad and got the Tazo Organic Chai…it was $4 which isn’t much but about twice the price of a normal box of tea. I’m excited about it though. Totally worth it since I can’t do a homemade chai at school.
I also got the Bigelow Herbal Sampler (since I can’t find Pomegranate Pizazz or I Love...

Mission statement type thing.
In light of the rather critical anon from a few days ago, and because of all of our new (LOVELY) followers, I just wanted to make sure everyone knew what FMCOT’s main purpose and goal and blah blah blah official stuff.
We are NOT a fuck yeah for tea. And we have never claimed to be tea experts. I started this blog a few months ago to document my “spiritual journey” as I...

Re-Steeping and Multiple Infusions!
Fine Tea Provides the Best Value
Quality, more expensive teas can often be steeped over and over without losing taste or bouquet. As a result , the high or low prices of various offerings can be misleading since the more expensive, finer teas costs more per unit weight - yet yield more cups of brew.
Different Infusions Provide Different Flavor and Aroma
Making multiple infusions not only...

Snobs GTFO. -.-
I swear, there are people who go around to every page on Tumblr and say rude stuff anonymously just to seem self-important.

Anonymous asked: Why do you never talk about good tea, or anything substantially tea related? Nothing about methods of brewing, production, etc. Just recommendations of god awful storebrand teas. Seriously, Celestial Seasonings is the Kraft of tea.

Yumm!
Celestial Seasonings’ Raspberry Zinger is quite yummy! A wonderful tea for night time when you’re not looking to sleep but need something without caffeine. Two cups down already and I’ll probably have a cup of their Sleepy Time tea before I go off to bed!
Definitely give them a try if you haven’t yet!
