A sipdown! (M: 10 Y: 42) prompt: Your tea with the shortest name — and real sipdown, not an attempt like Lesa was. Also it was labled just Gold on my box, that’s why I count it as shortest name tea.
An office tea that I have finished last day in current office. Just after Easter I am moving out temporarily to Germany (for work reasons) until end of July. Then probably returning back to the current workplace, but different position.
This tea is quite lovely and robust, if done right. My average, 4 minute steeping time in my 500 ml Nordic mug was just about right for morning wake-up calls, while sometimes even for me too bitter and tannic.
Definitely I feel it was Praugue water back then. Right now I feel it is strong and robust, but not flat. It wasn’t somehow complex, though. Somehow typical bagged black, but higher than the dust offered by many other vendors. Raising the rating a bit as I finished a whole box of 20 tea bags. (60 → 68)

If I remember correctly, Germany has some good tea shops. One I’ve heard of is Teekontor Kiel, which carries some oolongs from Chen Huan Tang, the producer of Tillerman’s Sweet Scented Dong Ding. I’d love to be reunited with that tea one day … However, their teas are quite expensive, much more so than the sadly closed Tillerman Tea.
There is a tea shop in the city I am staying, so definitely going there for a visit one day. Hopefully their teas will be tasty, they sound like at least :)
