When I chose to share a tea subscription with Flyeetelfly, I knew but I didn’t know what I was getting into. On one, rational, level, I knew that this would mean new packets of tea every month. On another level, I didn’t realise that meant I would drown in tea.

I managed to live in denial about the state of affairs for a while and focus on drinking down two teas – Miss Ohh Long by Renegade Tea Farm and Hoshino Satsuki by Karel Capek. But I met up with Ethel recently and… received about 3 months’ worth of samples at one go.

So I’ve had to change my tea-drinking strategy. While I’m still going to be doing my best to finish existing teas before opening and reviewing new ones, I’ve decided that these samples are small enough to be finished in one or two tea sessions – and while that means that I can’t do in-depth review of each tea, I can do short reviews of my first impressions of the teas.

Watch this space! From next week (if all goes to plan), you’ll start seeing reviews of various Lupicia teas and that will hopefully kickstart someone’s love affair with tea, considering that I started falling in love with tea thanks, in part, to Lupicia.
