Advent Day 1, From the Depths of the Grab Bag.
I bought the advent grab bag for my housemate because she liked the Cuppageek teas that ashmanra sent me. I brew for my housemate either caffeinated or herbal tea every evening. All of my upcoming Cuppageek reviews will be straight from her mouth unedited :) She has no idea of the ingredients in the teas and I will be telling her the name of the tea and ingredients after she finishes her mug. I have a very willing blind taste tester. This excites me.
“The packet smells like raspberry and orange. The brewed aroma smells like strawberry jello, like when you’re making it, it’s still warm. The strawberry tastes like the peach does in Celestial Seasonings Country Peach Passion, kind of fake but I kind of like it! You can almost taste the white pith of the strawberry. It’s got a little minty something on the tongue. I enjoyed it. Burrrrp. Burrrrp. Burp.
7.5/10 because you know there are some peppermints that I really like, like that one you made last night. That was like an A, maybe like a 95. I like the peppermint more than this one and I still like linden flowers more."

She’s a crazy old coot. Daily tasting notes might be varying levels of kooky and there will probably be many more burps involved.
Nothing wrong with being a crazy old coot! (BTW-that word is a derviation of ‘cote’-an Old English/Low German word for any diving water fowl…)
What a neat idea! Tell housemate we wilk be looking forward to her tasting notes!

Fresh perspective is always good!
