drank Iced Tea by Unknown
1112 tasting notes

I went to a luncheon today to honor my years of service to the University I work for (10 years!) and I was pleased that they had real, brewed, barely sweet iced tea as a drink offering (brought around by waiters in pitchers!)! It was flavorful and a great accompaniment to the delicious food served (Moroccan spiced grouper, chicken mole, bow tie pasta and asparagus, roasted veg, salad, cheesecake!). I was thrilled to have freshly prepared, non-bottled, non drink mix iced tea at the shindig – good job, University!

Congrats on 10 years of service!

Surely you’re not old enough to have done anything 10 years consecutively? :)
(And wow on the luncheon!)

Sal-oot to us youthful elderly steepsters. Elderly youthful? Youthfully elder? Elder but youthful? I’m still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

I am simultaneously very much like a 10 year old and an 80 year old (and not much like the other 40ish year olds I’ve met!) so I think youthful elderly hits the nail on the head!!! :) :) :) That’s great!!

Bio

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
