TheTeaFairy drank Port by Whispering Pines Tea Company

359 tasting notes

The moment has arrived, people. Today is the day I try Port for the first time.

At $22 an ounce, this tea is dressed to impressed. It wears a garment made of pure Madagascar vanilla beans and colourful saffron. (Spanish saffron, not the cheap imitation stuff)

Yep, that’s how Brenden rolls apparently.

But will all that glitter hold enough substance or will it fall flat?

I really want to like it and do it justice, so I decide to meticulously follow the master’s instructions.

Alright, alright, alright … The smell. Oh my, that smell. I could bathe in this. Miaow.

Torture, now I have to wait until it cools down? Or should I burn my tongue just a little?

Ok, I wait.

What I taste is beyond description cause it tastes like no other tea I’ve had before. The first thing that hits me is that creamy exotic vanilla. So different from your generic vanilla flavour. So organic.

Then, the unusual…a fresh eucalyptus mouthfeel is shinning through the base tea. What is this black tea from Dehong, China? I’d be really interested to try it on its own. There’s a certain earthiness to it. Sophistication meets rustic.

I will make sure to extract every little bit of flavour left in these very special leaves.

This is a pure delight, so happy I went with my gut and purchased it, well worth the investment…good job on this special creation of yours Brenden :-)
