I’m generally pretty happy with the juice side of things and more critical of the tea side of things, but in this case, I didn’t find the juice very peachy at all. Still a refreshing beverage (gimme something cold and fizzy and I’m usually happy), but not satisfying. Also what’s up with Trader Joe’s cans? They’re like two gulps. It’s engrumbling.
2012.10.07: I hear people like to understand other people’s ratings, so here’s a loose guide:
01-29: Dear God, why.
30-49: I’ll finish this cup, I guess, but no more.
50-59: Meh.
60-69: Decent. Maybe I can blend it with something else and make it better.
70-79: Heeey, this is quite good!
80-89: I love it, but I’m not in love with it.
90-100: Permanently resident in my Happy Place.
Update: I have steeped, and it was good. =] Still a tea-ophyte, though.
This is a tea site, so I feel like “well, I’m Indian” should be enough of an introduction. Because, I mean, it’s kind of in my genes, right? But the fact of the matter is that I’m an absolute tea-ophyte.
I’ve just discovered a world beyond Celestial Seasonings. I’ve just discovered “sachets” instead of “normal” tea bags and bought my first loose tea sampler. I don’t get the whole water temperature and steep time thing yet, nor that if I want to get a yixiang tea pot, I’d need one for each type of tea. I have this infuser ball thing, but I haven’t used it yet.
Don’t cringe, but right now I’m still just boiling water and pouring it over a teabag, adding some sugar, and drinking a nice, hot cuppa. I’d like to learn more, I think, and I’d like to train my palate. I figure participating in this community is the best way to do that.
So ya. Hi!

May I have permission to steal and liberally use “engrumbling?”
Absolutely! =)
