Maddy Barone drank Golden Orchid by Whispering Pines Tea Company

768 tasting notes

I spent about 30 minutes digging the car out this morning. Not because I’m planning to go anywhere. And really, what is the point, since we’re expecting another blizzard tomorrow. This will be a ground blizzard, which is what you get when the wind is 50 mph and there is loose snow on the ground. Thanks to the snow fall Friday, we have lots of light fluffy snow to blow around. I’m wintered out. After the ground blizzard on Sunday the high on Monday and Tuesday will be below zero. Really, I’m all done with winter.

One nice thing is coming in, taking off all my cold weather gear and brewing a cup of a tea that I know won’t disappoint. Cheers.

You have a stronger constitution than I. I don’t think I could do 20 minutes of your winters up there!

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.
