drank Fujian Black Tea by Whispering Pines Tea Company
359 tasting notes

Eating homemade parmesan kale chips, tv-binging on old X-Files in the middle of the night. Yes, I know, it’s dated…but I can’t help it, it’s my “comfort” tv show.

Tea pairing: Fujian Black….because…I just got my new Whispering Pines order, yay for me!

As usual, excellent personalized service and quick shipping to Canada, thank you Brenden :-)

I love the rustic packaging he uses for his tea, there’s something homey about it.

I hesitated between having The Sleeping Bear or this one tonight. I figured I was probably going to have to put more effort in reviewing The Bear so I opted for something I’m already very familiar with. (Also, someone really made me crave chocolate tonight!!!)

Fujian blacks are among my favourites, the main reason being…chocolate. As you may know by now, I do love my chocolate.

This one has lots of it. The aroma is half of the pleasure, it smells like chocolate croissant! Oh yeah! Chocolate and sweet honey notes, medium bodied with malt. So smooth, with no astringency at all.

I knew it would be chocolaty cause I’ve had Mint Chocolate Chip and I believe this Fujian is the black base in it.

I like that this is not overly complex. I wanted dark rich chocolate and that’s what I got! I don’t get a gazillion notes, and sometimes, that’s all a girl wants…

A fabulous Fujian…

Now back to Mulder and Scully!

Lol, I just re-read my review this morning (you never know, sometimes I can write weird stuff in the middle of the night!) i should make a quiz about it: how many CHOCOLATE words can you find?

Was I trying to be subliminal or something???

Profile

Bio

I am French Canadian, so please forgive me if my English is not always perfect :-/

My relationship with tea in a nutshell:

I’m married to straight Black. I have torrid love affairs with Oolong and Puerh. I party with Green and White occasionally. Flavored are not my BFF, I usually stay away from them.

Love Steepster, a place for tea lovers, where you learn and share with others.

About me:

I am a free spirit, I let people be who they are and expect the same in return.

Books! I love classic literature, but also modern and pretty much anything that captures my attention.

Music is also something I can’t live without… From Bach to Nirvana, my ears know no boundaries…

Animal and nature lover, amateur photographer.

I’ve been drinking tea for as long as I can remember.

Drinking tea is a sensorial experience. The name in itself “Camellia Sinensis” lingers the promess of an adventure for the senses…

Not a big «swapper», but will occasionally. Not because I don’t want to share but because I’m trying not to hoard so much.

Also, I have narrowed down the teas I really like over the years, and I don’t feel the need to try and buy everything the way I used to. (Maybe I have become a tea snob? Sigh…)

My ratings: because I pretty much drink only teas that I judge exceptional, my ratings are usually high. Don’t be shocked to see lots of 90’s and a few 100’s. That’s because I’ve had my share of crapy teas and I’m done with that ;-)

You can find me on Instagram here, I post about my tea sessions mostly, but also about the beautiful nature that surrounds me, and my fury companions :-)
