Maddy Barone drank Marco Polo by Mariage Frères

768 tasting notes

I had a teeeeeeeensy bit of this tea left. I remember drinking it when I could smell and LOVING its smooth, creamy flavor. I’ve been sick since Sunday and I decided I deserved to have the tea tonight. This time it was blah, with a hit of astringency at the end of the sip. :( :( :(

I don’t want to whine about being sick. It seems I always get sick right around this time of the year. It usually turns into bronchitis, sino-bronchitis, or even pneumonia. So I am going to baby myself. I worked a few hours today, but tomorrow if I feel even a little sick when I get up I’m calling in. There is no reason to push myself and make it worse.

(see? That wasn’t whining. That was me being an adult.)

I think a little self care is a lovely idea. And I hope you feel better soon!

Bio

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
