I have several spicy teas that I have neglected in the hot days of summer, but it is cool tonight, so I pulled this one out of the drawer.

Yum. I think I like it now more than I did when I first got it in my DAVID’s advent calendar last year. I liked it enough then to order 50 grams of it, but I haven’t had much of it yet. That will change in the next few months.

The color was paler than I expected, so I double checked my temperature, amount of tea, and steeping time. Nope, those were right. So I decided it was done in spite of its pale color. I think I was right. This is a yummy dessert tea and it doesn’t need to be stronger. Definitely a hit.

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.
