I didn’t realize this tea had a blended base of white and green tea. I can taste hints of pineapple, lemongrass, and maybe cherry. The lemongrass is becoming more apparent as the tea cools and some of the sweetness of the cherry is fading away. I can smell rhubarb, but I can’t taste it. I prefer this one warmer.

I was working away on a super cool assignment where I have to design a vulture safe zone for 100 breeding pairs of vultures and I completely forgot this was steeping…I set the timer for 6 minutes but didn’t even hear it go off, so I’ve no idea how long this steeped for.

Preparation
175 °F / 79 °C 3 g 14 OZ / 414 ML

How big of an area would the zone need to be for all those vulture?

I’m working on figuring that out, but it looks like 100km2 from each colony in an entire population, and I’ve found some literature that says 33,000km2. Working on figuring out that math for one colony and take into consideration the habitat types they need.

And what type of habitat is that? Once when doing vegetation surveys, I came across a lone vulture chick screaming at me from a nook in a limestone cliff that had had probably 80% canopy cover. Scared the bejeebies outta me. I never thought about where vultures nest.

Courtney

Some of them do nest on cliffs! I’m looking at white-rumped vultures, which typically nest in tall trees but do their foraging in open grassland/savanna.

Thanks for feeding my inner naturalist :)

That’s truly super cool assignment! I wish I knew someting about that :)
If I am bored with my logistics lectures, I think I will read some articles about Vultures.

Bio

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
