This is a GREAT black tea blend…mmmmmm so good. It’s really smooth, which I prefer in a black tea. It’s not astringent at all, which is great, but is rather malty and honeyed with the sweetness building from the beginning to the end of the sip. There’s even a tiny bit of a floral quality to it, kind of like jasmine. I’m placing a Butiki order tomorrow (payday, woot!) and this will definitely be in it!

On an unrelated note, if you haven’t seen Chris Hadfield’s cover of Space Oddity which was shot inside the international space station, today is your last chance! It’s being taken down. Stupid copyright laws. Chris Hadfield is a retired Canadian astronaut who commanded the international space station, rocks a serious ’stache, and seems like an all-around awesome guy. Check it out!

Bio

Tea-obsessed, book worm scientist.

I love black tea, especially Chinese black tea- I’m looking at you Fujians and Yunnans! I also enjoy Indian teas, mostly first flush darjeelings (and a select few assams).
I think I’m recently starting to like oolongs better though- gasp! I’ve been cheating on my black teas with all these lovely, alluring green floral oolongs. Sorry I’m not sorry.
White tea gets a lot of love too! I am particularly fond of silver needle whites.
I can’t seem to appreciate green teas and rooibos is foul, IMO.

Other interests: Books! Board games! Nerdy entertainment like Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, Game of Thrones, Sherlock, all the nature documentaries, etc etc. Also Disney!

I’m up for swaps!
