184 tasting notes

This was the tea I was EXACTLY in the mood for today….nothing too heavy, and the pecan note was calling my name (isn’t THAT a funny picture in your head.) The more I drink this tea the more I like it. It’s beautiful in it’s subtlety….light earthy, malty nuttiness that fills the mouth but doesn’t weigh it down. I have learned that it takes my milk and sugar quite well, as long as I’m not heavy-handed. The weather has gone all summer out here in California (90 already), and this is a wonderful breakfast tea without the heaviness. nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom

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.
