This is less of a tasting note and more of a story.
Last Friday, I flew out to Kansas City for the Midwest Tea Fest. Having made the mistake of having airplane tea two weeks ago, I came prepared this time. I brought along some filters and loose tea in my carry on. When the flight attendant came around with the drink cart, I asked for some hot water for tea, which they provided along with the same crappy tea bag from last time. I kindly handed it back to the attendant so that someone else could suffer through it at a later time.
To the amusement of my seat-mate, I then pulled out a bag of tea from my pocket and a filter and filled it. This tea has such a wonderful aroma and I’m sure that others could smell the loose leaves. After a quick steep, I was able to enjoy some delicious loose leaf tea on the plane! I did have some folks looking at me though, probably wondering what I was doing. Either way, this was a delicious tea to have first thing in the morning!
