drank Vanilla Comoro by Harney & Sons
709 tasting notes

Had a cup of this today and was a little disappointed. Initially it was the delicious sweet vanilla tea I love, but as it sat it became bitter and over-steeped, even though I shook out the “dust” beforehand. I’ve got to finally admit that I wish I hadn’t been so quick to purchase a whole pound of this, as it will take me FOREVER to finish. Lately I’ve been feeling very blah about all my tea – I have too much of it and the turnover just isn’t there. I hope these winter blues go away as I would prefer to be loving my tea again.

I have those tea overload feelings sometimes too. Perhaps a break is in order?

I experienced that too this summer… I had to take a break from tea (which was a good thing for the wallet!) until I started having cravings again. Oddly enough, tea was SO GOOD when I plunged back into it again!

Perhaps you’d like to swap some of this for some teas more to your liking! :D I’ve been wanting to try this tea and you seem to think you have too much of it. I hope there are some teas in my cupboard that will help bring your tea appetite back. Tea is just so awesome in the colder months. PM me!

Tea break might be worth considering. I just happen to have so much tea that it’s horrifying to consider it all sitting there undrank! : )

@Mercury – I can send you off an ounce or so if you’d like to try it. Shoot me a PM and we’ll work out the details – Maybe you’d be interested in another tea that’s not catching my fancy as well! : )

Uniquity – I’ve never tried this before so let me know if you’d like to swap for something…

Bio

I’ve been drinking loose tea since 2010 and my tastes have changed a lot over those years. For the last few, I’ve been a fan of unflavoured Chinese blacks and shu puerh. I still drink other things, but that’s where I am.

I live in a rural area with my husband, cat, and soon to be firstborn. I love tea, reading, doctor who, knitting, crosswords, board games, the marvel universe, and lots of other things.

I’m not often rating teas numerically any more but I want to leave this to explain my past ratings:
I try to only log teas once or twice because I drink a lot of the same ones repeatedly. My rating is based on my perception of the tea at first tasting and is adjusted if anything notable occurs in subsequent cups. I may also factor in the price and customer service but try to note that when I can.

81 – 100: These are great teas, I love them, regularly stock them or savour them as unique treats.
71 – 80: These are solid. I drink them, I like them, I may or may not keep them on hand regularly. This is still good stuff.
61 – 70: Just okay. I can drink it, but it doesn’t stand out to me. Might be lower quality, not to my taste, or outside my comfort zone.
41 – 60: Not likely to keep drinking…hoping hubby will enjoy!
0 – 40: No thank you, please. Take it away and don’t make me finish the cup.
