Purchased last Fall at King Richard’s Faire from their new tea pot shaped shop. It seriously was an adorable addition to their market. This one a friend convinced me to pick up. It appears that the shop has expanded their catalogue over the winter and there are tons of literary based teas added.

I followed steeping instructions but I honestly feel that I should have added more tea leaves to the steeper as this mug is too weak for me. Shoving my nose in the bag, it smells very sweet and floral but after steeping for the recommended 3 minutes, the scent is very very faint. The flavors of rose and marshmallow do come through the longer it steeped in the pot but it became more acidic with continued steeping. I think I’ll try another run of this hot later in the week and try it out cold brew as well.

Preparation
175 °F / 79 °C 3 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 6 OZ / 177 ML

Bio

In the early 2000’s, my brother worked for a grocery company that removed items from the shelves and I ended up with a cabinet filled with random tea.

After I finished that cabinet, I started trying new things and exploring the world of tea. Still exploring, still learning, and loving this community.

I tend to take my tea with no additions and quite hot. Though often I find myself having to reheat my mug due to distractions. I’m partial to herbals, white tea, green, and blacks. But I really will try anything once.

Rankings:
100-80 Love in varying degrees
79- 60 Good, but in the friendzone
60-50 Ok, would drink if offered
49-20 Don’t make me try it again!
19-0 Didn’t finish!
