When I opened the tin, there was some powdered tea leaves sticking to the side….so I was dubious about the quality of the blend, but then I put my nose to the tin..I LOVE malty teas, and this is exactly what I got from the tin. Jesus, Mary and Joseph I couldn’t get it in the mug quick enough! It was so “exactly what I wanted” this morning (I have to write a final paper for a class today) that I completely forgot to make any notes about the tea….I was completely lost in the glorious drinking of it! So I thought I give the bag a second steep…. it was lighter, but still wonderful….and I did it again…I forgot to take even one bloody note. I’ll try again soon, but I’m sure glad I bought a 4 oz tin of this, because who knows how many mugs it will take to actually remember to write something useful to a tea drinker!!

Spot or pot, I love a cup!

I learned to drink tea while living in Dublin in the early 80’s, so as you can imagine, I am a hearty brew lover, and take tea with milk and honey. I am trying to expand my horizons with tea….that is why I’m now on Steepster! Joined in January 2014.

Currently loving strong black teas that hold up to milk and honey well. I have a curiosity about keemuns and yunnans, but smoky ones are out. Green and white teas are off my radar, but making little forays into oolong and darjeeling tea. Herbal? So far only cacao tea has gone into regular rotation in my tea routine.

I do like some naturally flavoured teas…almond, vanilla, cardamom, ginger. This seems to be mostly in the cooler months…but mostly I’m an unflavoured tea drinker.

Life is too short for bad tea and bad bread.
