I don’t even know how to rate this one. I believe if I still took my tea (as I did as a child) with lots of milk and sugar, I would absolutely love this tea. But the tannins in this could make pudding taste like chalk (pardon the bizarre analogy!). Besides that, it’s a really nice tea, insomuch as that’s possible. I kinda wish I had ordered more even tough I didn’t enjoy this particular cup, because I know I have enjoyed this in the past.
Tea means so many things to me, it is so deep and it is revealing new meaning to me all the time.
Tea is a mindfulness practice, and a doorway through which to explore different philosophies, cultures, and historical times. Tea is hospitality and a way of communion. Tea is an art, a ritual, and a tradition. Tea is a complement to the foods I eat (preferably vegan desserts) and is something I enjoy collecting and curating.
I love to swap, or even just send people samples, so if there’s anything in my cupboard you’d like to try, just send me a message!
