Backlog 2/67
Okay so I just got this from Cheri. The dry leaf smells interesting. A kinda spicy scent.
I mistook this for black tea at a glance and boiled water. I burned the leaf. It tasted terrible. I started over, glad there was a nice sized sample.
The second round, I kept the water where it should be for a green tea, steeped carefully and sweetened lightly. When I got a good inhale of the aroma I nearly gagged. It smelled so off to me. A strange, thick scent that wasn’t eggnoggy at all, tho I thought I might have been getting an eggy scent possibly. I can’t even describe it. I just didn’t like it.
When I took a sip, I was hoping for some similance of eggnog. I can’t say that existed here. It was a slightly spiced, vegetal green with an icky savory note that I guess was egg-like. I have no idea really, because I couldn’t make myself take more than a few sips. My sister tried it also and agreed, no eggnog was found here.
So I guess we’ll stick to Eggnog as a seasonal treat rather than a tea flavor. haha. :)
Anyway, thanks to Cheri for sending the sample! We were glad to try it. ^^
And I really want to make that doubly clear: I’m always happy to try new teas whether I end up liking them or not. I hope I don’t offend anyone with my reviews when they have sent me a tea. I still appreciate the send and I definitely enjoy the experiences even if my review is negative. ^^

Sometimes I feel bad if someone has shared a tea and I don’t like it. But, I remind myself that there is value in that too, since you still learned something.
Yup. I just don’t wanna hurt anyone’s feelings. >_< I DO appreciate it. I just don’t necessarily share the same tastes. haha :)
It’s so funny because even reading the reasons you don’t like something, sounds like the exact reasons I would!
Haha… I’ll have to send you some of these Mandy :)
