drank Thé de l'Abbaye by Dammann Frères
3010 tasting notes

A whole Saturday with sunshine, spring weather, everybody in the house healthy, first load of laundry dried out on the line and a clean(ish) kitchen floor…love the fresh starts and do-overs the day has provided.

And with that…I decided to not ruin a cup of The de l’Abbaye. (First try a while back didn’t go well.) With attention, a shorter steep, and water that didn’t scorch it, it was light and beautifully scented. I’m not sure I picked out either the plum or the caramel individually, but the fruitiness nicely complimented the (only slightly) bitter veggie-ness of the sencha.

Dang, today Steepster is sipping teas I’ve given a little kiss on the nose and sent out into the world. Way to get those little feats out of the way, gmathis :) I hope you have a relaxing evening.
