Sometimes the teas with Asian names are hard for me to remember. I almost wish there was a subtitle like “sparkle pony” but instead I’m just trying to rewire my brain to remember them as is. I just spent five minutes searching for this under L.

Anyway, because I am a very bad girl, I had a cup of this at 7:30 last night. Then I noticed that it said “high caffeine” on the website and I still thumbed my nose at the world and drank that sucker anyway. Because I can. And damn, it was good.

Weird how it looks like there’s cocoa in there, that dust in the bag, isn’t it? I think it’s magic dust. I’m going with that.

So anyway, I learned that for me, a cup of Elder Grove will still put me to sleep after a cup of high caf tea, so this might be a dangerous new habit.

It’s totally magic dust. I’m trying to convince the farmers to roll this one Bi Luo Chun style and then I’ll call it Fruit Loops :P

That’s how I feel about all the French blend names as well. As someone who doesn’t speak French… I have considered just taking my revenge by adding everything new I try from Danish shops in Danish. I really don’t like the ‘translated name (original name)’ solution either. It gets so long and clunky.

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.
