Maddy Barone drank Chocolate Orange Rooibos by 52teas

768 tasting notes

I made a large pot of this for my visiting brother and I to enjoy last night. The kenalog shot (the steroid that allows me to smell for a while) is just beginning to kick in so I was able to smell it. The orange comes through nicely, a sweet tang of citrus. He and I enjoyed it very much.

Christmas is very cold here. This morning it was -18 F and the high is expected to be -7. Good tea drinking weather. For once I have time to actually sit and relax and sip tea instead of rushing here and there. Since we had the big dinner and gift opening last night, today my brother and I will watch TV and have a nice quiet time.

I wish all of you to have a bit of the same. Merry Christmas!

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.
