Very refreshing, even served hot. A blend of Pai Mu Tan, Jasmine Silver Needles, and red Rooibos. I really liked the blending of white tea and rooibos. I find rooibos to be a bit earthy and almost tobacco like at times, so the white tea offset that quality nicely. It had a hint of a floral note to it due to the incorporation of Silver Needles.
Flavors: Earth, Flowers
Used to be a big coffee drinker, but over time I realized coffee all kinda tastes the same to me so I switched teams.
I am a bit of a foodie. I love to cook at home and try new things. I especially love to find ways to incorporate tea into my cooking. I am a huge book nerd (it’s the only thing I have more of in my house than tea), and I also collect and read comics. I’m a really big scifi/fantasy/horror fan across the entertainment board (books, TV, movies, games, etc). My dream is to have my own tea and book store where I can hang around with other people who really just want to talk about tea and books, and maybe show me pictures of their cats. I also plan on one day owning a very fat french bulldog.
In the tea world: Greens, whites and rooibos are my current favorites. I can always enjoy a good herbal or oolong though. Blacks are kinda bleh to me, but a good yunnan or blend of one could get me interested. I am way more into straight teas then I am blended, though I own more blends than straight teas (go figure).
Currently employed by David’s Tea, so I personally think for a tea junkie I have a pretty ideal job. I’m always down for steeping something new. Suggestions and trade are more than welcome!
