Sipdown! I really need to drink all the odds and ends tea before advent season. So this ho hum blend gets finished off. If you don’t like shou I’d give this one a pass. And even the shou has a barnyard bite to it. It seems like a good idea, maybe I’ll try blending some shou with my favorite awesome tea and see how it turns out.
Flavors: Astringent, Earthy, Metallic
I started drinking more tea about 10 years ago when I found that even my half -caf coffee was making me jittery and then sleepy after the caffeine wore off. While I started out with mostly Teavana, but soon expanded my tea cupboard to include lapsang souchon, pu-erh, Assam, and other strong black teas. I do enjoy oolongs, green, and other teas, as well as a nice tisane for an evening cuppa.
I’m not fond of jasmine or bergamont teas, though I’ll try anything once.
I am an avid traveler, hiker, soccer player/watcher.
I love trying new tea in new places, if you see something in my cupboard you want to try, hit me up for a swap!
