DAVID’s Tea Advent Calendar Day 8

Oops, I didn’t rate this tea last night. I actually have about 25 grams of this left from last winter so it wasn’t new to me. I like this tea. It is mild and light, and somehow I don’t seem to get too much ginger. That’s a pity, since I really like ginger. In the little tin (by the way, I ADORE those little round screw top tins in the Advent Calendar!) I got a lot of large pieces of what must be pear but not very much tea. I think that contributed to this cup being very pale even for a white tea, with not much flavor. I have a little bit left in the tin, and I think I’ll add some of the older stock to it and see if that strengthens the flavor. But not now, Now I get to brew a cup of the Day 9 tea!

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.
