Maddy Barone drank Golden Honey Dew by Lupicia

768 tasting notes

I cold brewed this one for today. With this darned sinus infection I am very dry. Maybe it’s only a myth that caffeinated beverages don’t hydrate as well. I need to hydrate a LOT since I can only breathe thru my mouth. I woke up this morning feeling like my mouth had been stuffed with cotton. Ugh! I don’t really enjoy the tap water here, so I prefer to drink tea or carbonated water. Long story short, I brewed up a quart of this since it was caffeine free, and managed to drink nearly all of it during the day. I have no sense of smell, but I swear I got hints of melon from this.

The 4 inches of snow we got yesterday are melting now thank goodness. I have a billion errands to run tomorrow after work and I didn’t want to have to scrape my car off. I actually really like winter. Late April, however, is not winter. ahem

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.
