52 tasting notes

I brought this tea to work with me today to do some more experimenting. So far I have tried it with…

Less leaf – Love it this way. The package calls for 2 tsp per 8 oz. I steep using a 16oz. infuser, so this time I tried 3tsps instead of 4. I think I prefer it this way. The flavors come through a bit more.

Milk & Sugar – tried milk and sugar on the 2nd steep and I LOVED it. I think I might make that a permanent addition to this tea for me. The tea is already pretty creamy in taste by itself, but adding milk kicks it up that extra notch for me.

Multiple Steeps – I am on my third steep and it is still delicious. I am going to try a fourth before I call it quits with this one for the day.

I can’t recommend this tea enough.

Yay!!! I’m so glad you like it. I just got it recently as a part of my order but haven’t tried it yet. Ha! I like putting off pleasures, I guess :D

Bio

I just started drinking loose tea this year…and by “drinking” I mean, “completely obsessed” with no hope or want of redemption.

One experience with some rooibos and an infuser to show me just how easy it was, and that was all she wrote.

The only tea I ever had before this year was bagged Earl Grey, that one bad experience was enough to put me off tea for life. Turns out, after some trial and error, I discovered I just don’t like bergamot.

All other tea is fair game. I am enjoying expanding my horizons, and I would love to do a swap if anyone is willing to give a newbie a shot! Check out my cupboard and let me know if you are interested in anything!

Tea Ratings:
100-90 – DRINK ALL THE TEA!!! Always in my cupboard. I would cry if discontinued.
80-89 – Very good tea. I probably stock this year round in small quantities.
70-79 – Good tea, but not a “WOW” tea
60-69 – I can appreciate that this is good tea…just not a tea I enjoy
59 or below – No thank you.

As far as life outside of tea goes…I am a fangirl at heart.

I love BBC Sherlock and all things Johnlock.

I also love Doctor Who. 3, 9 & 10 are my favorites…I have high hopes for 12. My favorite companions are River Song, Donna Noble and Mickey the Idiot.

I am an adult fan of Lego, as is my husband bgrinham. We collect Classic Space, Classic Star Wars, Harry Potter, Trains, and the Modular Buildings.

Feel free to say hello! I look forward to meeting people who share in my obsessions! Tea or otherwise!
