Popular Tasting Notes
Made at work. So it’s really hard to know prep details. Because. It’s coffee maker water spout and microwave to get it to a decent temp. I get two steepings out of this. The first lighter and with more fruit notes brought out by honey. The second rich, warm, and nutty—no honey. I think it’s to my current tastes one of my favourite personal adagio blends. Goodness knows that will shift in a week though.
I love brewing this fruity tea with hot water and then chilling it over ice. It is light and refreshing and perfect for summer. Sweeten with honey or agave and the fruity tones of mango and guava are really accentuated. It brews a deep pink tone making it super summery. Definitely one of my favorite iced teas!
Preparation
Distinct First flush with the characteristics smell of Darjeeling’s unique aroma which fills the entire senses. Refreshing. A tea connoisseur’s delight.
A fading light brown liqour got from a 2 – 3 min. steeping typical of the Spring Teas from the Queen of hill stations. It holds the charasteristic fragrance even after brewing, and is complimented by an equally more ambrosia like muscatel taste, which is perfect .
Preparation
The first looseleaf tea I ever received as a gift. I adore this blend, and it makes me think of good friends and good times. Unfortunately now that the Tea Emporium has closed up shop and I used the last of my stash, it will have to live only in my memories. It was a truly great berry blend, though, with a delightful pink tone to the water once steeped.
Definitely my favorite Damn Fine Tea. Smoother than the Double Knit Blend, but more flavorful and pronounced than the Tiger Assam. This has everything that I look for in a black tea: It’s malty, rich, slightly chocolately, and almost but not quite bitter. When someone says “black tea”, this is what first pops into my mind.
Works great as both a morning and afternoon tea, depending on the steep time. Love this one!
