This was the first loose leaf tea I ever loved, and it’s still a favorite today. Had this morning without sugar.

Traditionally, without sugar, mostly because it’s so late.

This tea was a gift from my inlaws. Very fun gift, it’s a tea I probably wouldn’t have tried otherwise, but really enjoy!

the only good thing about the last hour was this tea.

That’s more like it. Just what I needed.

I think I’m going to have to give away the rest of the tea I just had.

I have a box of this, and every once in a while I decide to try it in case my tastes have changed, but it’s just not my speed. I wonder if it would be okay blended (in a small quantity) with a black tea. It might be nice as a secondary flavor.

A very good cup of green tea.

Bio

I’ve been into tea, at some level, since college with a first tin of loose tea brought back by my parents from Oxford. My love of tea increased with a visit to Boston and a chance cup at Tealuxe. Since then I’ve only gotten more interested in tea and have developed more of an appreciation for it.

50-59: run-of-the-mill tea for me

40-49: decent, would hit the spot in some moods, but probably wouldn’t purchase it for my cupboard
