Hello there…
my work is somehow more demanding than I thought, moreover no new teas being drank, so not much notes from me recently. Hopefully it will change soon, as I truly miss seeing the likes and sometimes even some comments from you.
I was in a mood of green tea today after work, and although I have a orthodox tea there (which I even had today), it is one of the oldies from White Antlers, which is just needed to drink, but there isn’t much to write home about anymore.
So, I have prepared this cup, and I think I have caught temperature just right. It produced wonderful green colour, very vibrant and fresh. I remember seeing a few pieces of pineapple when I was putting teaspoons in, but there weren’t much of them.
But, in flavours, it was a different story. It was very tropical, with very nice pineapple flavour complemented with grassy green tea, which tasted so fresh, even I have this pouch for 8 months already. Dustin, thank you so much for this tea. It has got some floral note as well, but honestly not sure if it is lotus, or anything else.
So yeah, this is a tea I would order myself. Hopefully one day!
Flavors: Grass, Pineapple, Tropical

I’m drinking through three 50 g packs of black tea and two 50 g packs of oolong, so I also haven’t been posting any new notes. Glad to hear you’re sipping down older teas.
I have really enjoyed my teas from The Odor. Pineapple sounds nice! I didn’t care so much for the pineapple green from Harney but my daughter loved it. I think it was the base that turned me off, though.
Leafhopper, I admire your focus. I do that—setting focus teas aside in baskets and boxes—and it works for about 5 minutes. Then again, I am all over the place.
Evol Ving Ness, many of my teas are vacuum packed and lose flavour when I cut them open. This is the case with the two oolongs I’m working on. Still, I sometimes cheat on my focus teas. :) I’ve told myself that if I drink 300 g of tea before Black Friday, I might restock the tea museum.
Hahaha, that’s why I don’t OPEN my vacuum-sealed packs while I work on everything else. I’ve missed the past few Black Fridays. I’m trying to be strong, but yanno.
I am drinking faster than usual, as I prepare two cups at least at work, then sometimes some at home. So, it goes down quite quickly, alhough the pace could be faster :D
I am glad you liked the teas you have tried from The O Dor ashmanra
Same here Evol Ving Ness, no focus at all! I am able to focus on vacuum packed oolongs though, or at least, I am trying! I have a few unopened yet too.
We are indeed all crazy tea people and I like it!

Yes, magical thinking that somehow if I don’t open them, they’ll last forever.
Crazy tea people.

Evol Ving Ness, yep, I also think that a vacuum seal will preserve freshness indefinitely. We’ll see how much willpower I have this Black Friday.
