Maddy Barone drank Comfort and Joy by The Republic of Tea

768 tasting notes

It’s cold up here in North Dakota now, so I decided to have hot tea after my coffee. I decided on this one because it seemed like a Christmas tea would go well with my Christmas music and the sound of snow plows beeping and scraping over the parking lot. The first snow fall of the season makes me want tea!

I seem to remember liking this one, if not loving it. This morning it was just bitter. The can of bags is a little old, about 3 years old, actually. Maybe that has faded the cinnamon and other flavors, because I get nothing from this. Too bad.

Well, lots more tea drinking weather ahead now. I need to re-organize my tea drawer and re-discover some favorites.

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.
