David’s Tea Advent Calendar Day 24:

Since I’ve already rated this tea multiple times, I won’t do it again. Instead I want to talk about my Tea Advent Calendar. This is the first year I’ve gotten one. My experience was overwhelmingly positive. I didn’t find any new teas that I am dying to add to my cupboard, but I found several that I enjoyed, and many others that I’m glad to have tried. There were some that at first I didn’t care for very much, but subsequent cups were very good. For instance, on Day 1, I didn’t really enjoy Snow Day very much. But I had it a few more times over the month, and I found my enjoyment growing. If that comes back next year I may pick up 50 grams of it. Another one that I wasn’t really crazy about at first was
Chocolate Covered Almond. I had it again a week later and I liked the chocolate more than I had previously.

So, the 24 Days of Tea was a lovely experience. I wish all of you a happy holiday, a safe and cheery Sunday, and lots of delicious 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.
