mrs.stenhouse12 drank The Jolly Earl by Verdant Tea (Special)

1186 tasting notes

So it snowed in my hometown and at my parents today lol. It’s a mere 3 degrees C here today, so out come more cozy teas! I am very close to finishing this one off, I keep saving a little bit to have one last hot toddy, and then don’t feel like making myself one lol. Maybe tonight! Anyways, having this just as tea at work today and it helped warm me up while it was warm, now it’s all cold but still flavorful. Citrusy and chocolatey, with the bergmaot noticeably present today, so it actually tastes quite EG-esque. Have to decide if I want a cozy rooibos or EGC this afternoon to ward off the cold. See previous notes on this tea!

ETA – now I really want just some plain Zhu Rong Yunnan Black. Le sigh. I should have brought that to work. Oh well, I can have it when I’m at home lol. Might be a black tea day..hopefully I don’t overcaffeinate!

Hello all, I am an electrical engineer (read:NERD :D), who is a bit obsessed with tea! I discovered loose tea in 2011, DAVIDsTEA in 2012 and it took off from there. I really started drinking/enjoying tea because it was excellent to take to class in the morning and because I can’t handle coffee! (unless it’s a really good cappuccino or latte, or decent decaf haha)

I enjoy a variety of teas – current favorites being ripe and raw pu’erhs, chinese black teas and herbal/green rooibos blends. I also enjoy white, green, and oolong teas, although I tend to drink them more in the warmer months. I have also tried matcha and guayusa, but I don’t drink them too often as I am a bit sensitive to caffeine. As a result I don’t drink black teas as often as I used to, but in moderation I can still enjoy a wide variety of teas.

Oh, and I have a severe peanut allergy and try to avoid most other nuts, just to be safe. Limits my tea choices a bit, but that’s ok. However I have tried almonds and found out I can eat them, so I have been trying a few teas with them in them.

95+: Absolute favorite, will try to always have it in stock, and when I don’t I pine over it!
90-94: Awesome teas, will probably purchase again a few times
80-89: Very good tea, may restock at some point
70-79: happy to have tried and will gladly finish, but not restock
60-69: not horrible, but not the best, will finish if I have some though
50-59: not a favorite, probably will have a tough time finishing the bag
-50: yuck. I don’t want to have it ever again.
