drank Golden Honey Dew by Lupicia
768 tasting notes

It has been hot, hot, HOT in my little storage room of an office so I’ve been drinking a lot of iced tea. I had about a tablespoon of this one left so I mixed it with some of What-Cha’s Golden Monkey, dropped in my David’s perfect iced tea pitcher (I think it is probably a liter) and set it in the fridge overnight.

ZOMG.

SOOOOOooo good. Light, mildly sweet without being cloying, smooth, and utterly refreshing. Honestly, the perfect tall and sweaty glass of cold tea. So I was naughty tonight. I ordered another pouch of this from Lupicia. I had told myself -firmly!!- that there would be NO TEA ORDERS until fall. Oops.

But really, it’s only mid-May. I have many months of hot weather to drink down my tea stash. In fact, I’m cold brewing a liter of David’s Santa Secret right now. I am keeping a list of which teas I like iced. So far, the HoneyDew is far and away the top tea iced.

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.
