I’m so unteaful right now it’s silly. I had a pot of this the other day; it was really nice and made me want more tea, but then I… didn’t have more tea. I don’t know if it’s because I relate tea drinking so much to writing tasting notes now. At the moment all the poetry’s been wrung out of me; I most resemble a limp, smelly dishtowel.
This really is lovely as a spring tea, though – the light green shade of it, the delicacy, the subtle florals. So much less flamboyant than some of the Mariage Frères greens, yet without lacking in personality.
Tomorrow. I’ll try to drink some more tea tomorrow.

Anna – I get what you mean about relating tea drinking to writing tasting notes. A number of times I’ve shied away from steeping something just because either I didn’t have the time or was not in the mood to make notes while I drank. And, yes, the poetry is something that comes and goes with most people.
You’ve set a high standard for yourself with the beautiful, clever or funny tea notes you’ve written here on Steepster. Speaking for myself, however, that’s not expected to always be the norm. I’d rather read a post with whatever your thoughts are than nothing at all.
That last bit I should post on my fridge since I need to heed that advice as much as anybody else :-}
It’s good to see you. :-) I’m going through the same unteafulness.
Drink some you’ve already posted about for a while. (This is what my queue is for)

Ditto on the unteafulness and tasting notes. I think I need to get a new tasting note philosophy, or something.
