drank Laos Black #05 by Steepster
424 tasting notes

Well I was happy that this was a sip down until I saw that I never added it to my cupboard. Sigh! At least it’s effectively one since it’s gone from my kitchen.

Even steeped for 2 minutes this is so astringent, it makes me want to go drink some water. It’s not bad tasting but my mouth is absolutely pruning up!

Also, my Aroma kettle arrived today and I had a lot of fun boiling water in it. How sad is that? What was the highlight of your day? I boiled water!

Not sad at all! A good kettle is the BEST! Changed my world ;)

When I bought my new kettle, I had a lot of fun boiling water. Not going to deny it. And even more fun when I made my first mug of tea using it.

Oh gosh, my daughter thinks it’s a treat to use my “special-tea” kettle. I still marvel at how beautifully it works, and am so glad that I grabbed it.

every time i boil water in my variable temp kettle im wondering how did i live without it?

Cheri

I’m feeling the same way, boychik. I just bought a kettle for at work (I’ve had one at home for a while) and it’s been fantastic. I was worried about not getting up and moving around enough because I’ve got water at my desk now, but I’m drinking even more tea, so I’m getting up more to go to the restroom. Hahahha.

Bio

Mom of two practically grown girls, extremely happily married to a man who is amused by my obsession with tea, and company owner who works from home. Life is good.

Likes/dislikes: I love black teas, especially strong/malty ones. I am ok with flavored teas if the base is strong. I like some whites. I really don’t like any tea that tastes “green” – if I wanted to drink something that tastes like green beans, I would cook some green beans. I am not big on green teas or genmaichas. I am learning to like puerhs.

If we are trading, I have a STRONG aversion to coconut, banana and licorice. I love citrus, vanilla and spice. Not a fan of florals.
