What better tea could you want to go with the grand finale of The Princess Bride? Well, I don’t know but this is pretty darn good for it. It’s a thick dark soup with a strong woody smell. The liquor tastes woody and leathery with a hint of camphor and old books. The aftertaste is sweet and peppery on the edges of my tongue, although it also made my tongue go slightly numb along with my legs. “Hello, tea drunk.” This was a good choice for this evening’s tea and movies session and I look forward to finishing it off tomorrow.
Thank you TwoDog for this sample.

Cool. I would love to drink old books!
If only it were that easy to acquire the knowledge contained in them! :)
Did you think this had a raw beetroot taste? I did :)
No, I never noticed any beetroot taste at all. I abhor beetroot and would have noticed something as disgusting as The Devil’s Vegetable (as it is know by me in our house). I got no vegetal notes at all. It was all antiquey things like wet wood and old books.
ahh tea drunk…. the calm relaxed feeling ;)
Yes. It always seems to take my legs first so I cannot go anywhere. :)
that never happened to me
You guys have to explain beetroot to me. Is it like beets we grow over here?
Yes, beets. The devil’s own food. Just thinking about it makes me gag. Well, maybe not but it’s the only food in the world that I have found I really dislike.

Thanks you two. I have had pickled beets but no other way.
