Test Teas Is Back and Better Because...
8It is now being run by the ever-competent, in-house hipster intern known as, Salinger. Now, I must admit that I do not know much about tea, but at the same time, that doesn’t mean I’m not going to act like I know more about tea than you do.
You may remember the old Test Tea logo as seen here: 
But I figured it could use some sprucing up. As in-house hipster intern/renowned aesthete, I feel I am behooved to elevate everything to a new level of aesthetic. With that said, here is the new, improved test tea logo: 
Ah, yes. A simple addition of vinyl is a great cure-all.
Now, @ajdillon, thanks are in order for sending us your Peaches & Coconut Tea.
Okay, with that cursory “thank you” out of the way, let’s dive into the feedback from our fellow testers. (Disclaimer: most of these testers have yet to read The Tea Companion (A Connoisseur’s Guide) by Jane Pettigrew, so their opinions are trivial.)
Tea Tester #1 said: “It tastes less sunscreeny than last time.”
Tea Tester #2 said: “101010,” which was either a review of three 10/10’s, or a small lesson in binary code.
I would go on, but it’s time for the important review–which is my review (as if you needed to know).
A gentle waft and sip of the tea instantly harkens me back to my days of volunteering in Turks & Caicos. In that idyllic land, I worked–in rigorous labor–on peach farms so that the young children of Turks & Caicos could be free to indulge in their fun and games. Now, I’m not claiming that I solely ended the exploitation of child labor by peach farms in Turks & Caicos: I’m merely stating it.
Well, that’ll do.
You’re welcome.

catcher in the rye, more like catcher in the LIE.
Never put good tea in the hands of an intern. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.
@Barney Good point! I think it’s time to take @IHHI_Salinger under my wing. We’re somewhat of a Russian Nesting Doll of tea since @riskybryzness took me under their wing. We’ll get another intern to put under IHHI_Salinger’s wing, so they can pawn off heating the water and getting the tea cups for everyone
@Cythwulf @IHHI_Salinger @riskybryzness
CORRECTION: Never put good tea in the hands of an intern and @Cythwulf.
@Barney @IHHI_Salinger @riskybryzness I bet you wouldn’t say that if I made purple tea, now would you?
purple loves @barney.
@Cythwulf Probably not.
Don’t forget to try the Cinnamon Orange Spice I sent, also from Market Spice in Seattle, my personal favorite
@ajdillon This is @riskybryzness 's favorite too. They brought those in (smaller teabags) and we did a review back on 8/22/2019. I think the new plan is to take these bigger bags and sunbrew them when we get a bit more sunlight available.
Peaches AND coconut? Seems excessive.
@sammydog01 It sounds X-TREME!!!
@sammydog01 @therealjrn Test-Teas X-Treme Teas? I like it.
