I finished off my packet of this tea last night. I think I liked it better than when I first got it. I am raising my rating to reflect that. Maybe I didn’t use enough in my previous cups. This time I used all of the tea that was left in the pouch, about 2 teaspoons. It was sweet and mellow and not fussy.

Fall is coming. It is my favorite time of the year. Cooler evenings means I gete to enjoy my chai teas again. Maybe I am anal or something, but I don’t generally like spice teas in the heat of summer. I’m sure we will have plenty of hot weather before fall really hits, but we have some nice days in the upper 60s and nights down to the mid 40s this coming week and I am excited!

The first gray, drizzly day of the fall does soothe the spirit, doesn’t it? (My opinion changes drastically in February and March.)

Yes, I like fall, but winter gets a little long.

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.
