Up early on a Saturday to work. Needed a wholesome cup of black. I would call this rich but not bold. There’s some subtle (to me) hints of citrus and sweet flavor. No bitterness for me, which is how I prefer it. Whiffs of toast and lemon. It doesn’t slap you in the face. It’s not too complex. Something for me to put in a travel mug for commuting to work.
New to loose leaf tea and infusions.
Beer snob. Love to drink coffee, but there’s so much politics surrounding the coffee pots at my office, I just wanted my life calm and drama free. Tea and infusions are opening doors of flavor and serenity in my life. I like to create my own food recipes and such, so experimenting in tea was an obvious move once I got into it.
I’ll just put this right here in my profile: many black teas have an odd taste to me. I can only describe it as that they have the aftertaste like someone broke up a cigarette — including the bleached paper wrapper and plastic filter — and poured hot water over it and forced me to drink it on a dare.
