donkeyteaarrrraugh drank Grandpa's Anytime Tea by Gather!

184 tasting notes

This is the same Royal Kenya tea that Butiki sells…. I purchased it from Gather! via Amazon, because Butiki was out of it and it is just a NICE lovely cup of smooth Kenyan tea to have around the house. When I got the package from Gather!, something wasn’t right….did I order the wrong tea? The Gather! packaging told me to steep this tea for 4-5 minutes….now I KNOW that’s not right for a ctc, so I checked Butiki’s website….yep, if I’da done what Gather! told me to, I’d be drinking tea/tar! Instead, steeped at 1 minute, I’m drinking a smooth, malty, tasty cup of brown joy. Stacy and Butiki, you have trained me well!

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.
