Ashmanra’s sipdown challenge – February 2025 Tea #5- A tea you hoard
Well, even though I’m still hoarding two small samples of this Very Good Tea, I went and ordered from Golden Moon anyway. I noticed they still have their Madagascar Vanilla tea, so I couldn’t resist. Anyway, I have tried this a couple of times with various levels of leaf in the mug. It just isn’t as molasses/berry special as it once was. It was once such a unique leaf. Now, it isn’t exactly a BAD tea but now it’s just kind of decent. Nothing very unique about it. It’s still tasty, especially for a Ceylon leaf and Ceylon isn’t usually my thing. ah well… It’s all a gamble when it’s new tea harvests, I suppose. And the other samples of Sinharaja I had are probably some of the oldest teas I have, so I certainly couldn’t expect it to be the same flavor after all these years. The WORLD has changed since then. Ceylon has changed. The tea must change.

It’s been a l-o-o-o-o-o-ng time since I’ve tried this, but I remember liking it.
I have been thinking lately about their Vanilla Jasmine or Jasmine Vanilla, whichever it was. I don’t NEED more tea. I have been resisting for now. What a great tea that was, though.
Yep, I had to get the sample size of Vanilla Jasmine too.
They have sample sizes? Did you just enable?
Well, I should say one ounce sizes, not exactly samples!
Close enough!
