Maddy Barone drank North Winds by Whispering Pines Tea Company

768 tasting notes

This is still one of my very favorite breakfast teas. And afternoon teas. And just any danged time teas. This is smooth and rich without being frilly. I made this for me and a friend today, and when he asked where he could buy it I directed him to the whispering pines website. He just about dropped his teeth. “It costs how much?” he yelped. You’d have thought someone stabbed him. Sheesh.

This one isn’t even available at the moment. I suppose $8.50 an ounce is a bit spendy, but it is a lovely tea, and it re-steeps well. For a really good tea I’d pay even more. I’ll have to keep track of when it comes back in stock. I am planning a tea order in October. Not that I actually need more tea…

Bio

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
