Whoa guys! I’m back!

This time, I think I intend to stay (although when isn’t that my intention?). I just realized that I love reading tasting notes, and not only because I love tea. Actually, the main reason I love reading tasting notes is because I love reading descriptions of people enjoying tea. It just makes me feel cozy just thinking about it, and it’s so great to connect with so many wonderful people over a cup of hot tea—realizing that we all have such varied, interesting, and sometimes turbulent lives, but that a cup of tea can give us all a bit of pause and comfort in an otherwise crazy world.

Enough of that though. This tea. It’s delicious and fragrant and all things great…except I still cannot drink most tea straight. I just can’t. Most straight tea leaves a dry feeling in my mouth, and I just don’t know how to combat that other than with additions. I’m kind of annoyed at myself for that, but it keeps on being true for me.
guuuuys! I’m baaaaack!

Nice to see you back! I’m hoping as the weather cools a lot of people will return to Steepster :)

I really hope so too! Being back is kind of weird. I’m like, “who else do I follow? who’s a frequent poster these days? who are all these new people?” LOL.

Hey!!! Welcome back! I’m so excited to read your tasting notes again! I just love the way you describe things. This note is no exception. Your vivid description captured one of the things I love so much about tea. I’m totally on the same page as you. :)

Well, it’s been slightly over six months since I’ve joined steepster, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this community. Like many of you, I began my foray into the world of loose-leaf tea by discovering David’s Tea, and although I’ve ventured out and have discovered many other companies that I’m extremely fond of, there are still many of David’s teas that I hold close to my heart and I will always appreciate it as a starting point for my journey.

As for my preferences, I tend to prefer bold black tea, flavoured and unflavoured alike, and I almost always take my blacks with cream and sugar. This isn’t to say that I don’t enjoy a good, flavoured white though, and I’m slowly making my way through the incredibly confusing world of oolongs and greens. I am also not a fan of rooibos, although I am starting to suspect green rooibos may be ok, but you know how it is: when you’ve decided you detest a certain ingredient, you’ll notice it everywhere—perhaps even where it doesn’t exist!

Things other than tea: I’m engaged to be married to my best friend, and feel like the richest woman on the planet because of it. I am also a veracious reader, and I also happen to have an obsession with fragrances, and have amassed quite a collection, although it pales in comparison to some collections out there! As a result of this obsession, I also follow several fragrance blogs, and am always up for a chat about scent. I’m also almost completely blind, and this does indeed mean that I come complete with a guide dog, who unlike me, hales from the sunny California campus of Guide dogs for the Blind. I think I’ve rambled on long enough, but if there’s anything you’d like to know or if you just feel like chatting to someone, please don’t hesitate to send me a message.
