So tired this morning – I definitely need some happy mood power today. Must have something jasmine :) I thought this one would be good because it also contains green and black tea (caffeine!!) and vanilla (one of my favorite flavors). I put a scant half teaspoon of sugar in my cup, too, for a little extra something.

Delicious! Rich floral vanilla. Unique. Sweet. As it cools, the jasmine moves a little more to the front. Very nice to ease into the week with :) Flavorful and delightful second steep which I don’t feel needs sugar. I’m going to give this a bump to 100 because it’s a tea that I adore and always want to have around. It fits my ideal flavor profile to a T(ea! sorry! blame the happymaking jasmine for my cornball humor)!

I don’t know, but it works for me :) I am crazy for this one and the Kashmiri chai which both mix black and green.

If a tea can give you some great cornball humor on a Monday, then I say don’t apologize! :)

I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and attend a large public university doing post-bac work (my BA is in English). I’m interested in the liminal spaces between art and craft, the academic and the practical, the individual and community, and the old and the new. I’m currently exploring these ideas through the disciplines of education, literature, history, and psychology.

I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.

My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes
