Backlog note 5 of 13: And it’s note 500!
I went to the Canadian Coffee and Tea Show on Sunday, and had this as well as a few other samples that Joel was kind enough to offer.
Unfortunately, since the show was mainly an internal one for the industry, very few vendors were actually selling tea at the event. If Joel had this on sale on Saturday, I would totally have bought a package despite the price tag.
Going in, I knew this was a Nilgiri tea, but it definitely doesn’t taste like one. I don’t remember a whole lot of that taste now, but I remember it being sweet, like nectar almost, with none of the wet earthiness that I remember tasting the first time I tried a Nilgiri.
Joel said that this is a unique tea, as he bought up pretty much the entire harvest from this estate. This is going near the top of my wishlist now – I hope that there’s still some of this in stock when Black Friday rolls around.
I love this one too.
500 Wow that’s a lot! Congrats!
