I graduated from college this weekend. Yay! Now to find a job.
I stole a bag of this from my fiance when I was over at his house for a little bit last night. It is very dark. It looks like coffee it is so dark. I am a little stuffed up from switching climates again, but it smells like earth. Damp earth with a slight horse-barn smell. Not enough to be off-putting, but enough to make me think of the stables at my college.
I am trying to let it cool down a bit before I taste it because it is hot! All I can think of is this taste being weird. It is smooth. Almost watery like I didn’t steep it enough. I brewed this for four minutes since I’ve never had it before. At first I kept thinking sushi, but that has passed now. Now it is just smooth and dark. There is a little bit of a bitter taste at the back of my throat.
I keep thinking latte, so I’m going to add a splash of milk because I can. And because I am at home and don’t have to be restricted by when I can drink my tea with milk. Mmm, I like it with milk. The milk adds a little more body so I’m not getting that watery taste. It is still smooth and dark. Now it tastes a little bit more like earth. Damp earth. A good taste. It does remind me slightly of coffee the more I drink it, but you can still tell a flavor difference.
I don’t think I would reach for this a lot, but I would definelty have to try it again.
Congratulations!!!!!! :) WOO HOOOO!!!!
Wait what college do you go to that has stables?? This tea sounds really YUM!
Congrats! This tea resteeps pretty well. Give it a try if you have time!
Congratulations! Although I second the curiosity about which college has stables.
I went to Sweet Briar College. It is a small women’s college in Virginia. I’m two days out from graduation and I miss it already. Thank you guys for all of the congrats! I’m excited and nervous all at the same time.
