This is my Terri Tea of the day.

Jin Jun Mei…not only do I like to pronounce its name, (i could drive you nuts by repeating it over and over again with my renown Asian accent ) but I also love it in my cup.

This smells like chocolate and smoke. It’s very “Keemuny” (yes, I invent words all the time, sorry linguistic purists!)

It’s malty and full bodied. It’s sweet and roasty, thick molassy texture in the mount. No astringency whatsoever.

It’s strong and smooth at the same time, totally my kind of guy ;-)

Thanks Terri Harplady for sharing such a good quality tea with me :-)

YUM!

TheTeaFairy

Lol, looseTman, I was actually thinking of you while I was drinking it. For sure this is something you would like…sadly, it’s all gone now :-(

looseTman

Sounds like one for the wishlist!

You know who else made up words all the time? Shakespeare! And everyone seems to be pretty pleased with that guy, so I say keep them coming :-)

TheTeaFairy

Haha, mj you are so sweet! Keemuny sounds so cute though, doesn’t it?

MzPriss

If you look through my notes you will find Keemuny repeatedly which makes me LOL – one more thing we have in common :)

TheTeaFairy

Hahahah! Do you really???? Lol, maybe i read it in your notes and it got stuck “subliminally” in my cuckoo’s brain:-)

MzPriss

I do and it made me laugh when I saw it. Because its so hard to describe that taste that makes Keemun taste like Keemun. Keemuny or Keemun-y is the best way to describe it

cryptickoi

I like it a lot too..that reminds me its time to place a YS order…

Terri HarpLady

Yay! I knew you’d love this one! :)

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 :-)
