Another Sipdown!
Honestly, this one was pretty much meeehhh for me.

JustJames

do you prefer this cinnamon puerh, the steap shoppe cinnamon swirl, or just puerh with no add ins?

Bonnie

I make my own and notice that the second and third steeps with cinnamon are more flavorful.

I prefer my puer plain…with the exception of Sichuan Caravan!!

JustJames

i kindof figured, lol. sichuan caravan? who makes this and why do you like it when no others will do? ;-)

Sil

Verdant makes Sichuan caravan :) it’s great!

Bonnie

Ah…My fav blended is still the original Imperial Breakfast Blend. Sigh.

James, Verdant made Sichuan Caravan last fall. It was amazing & awesome. I’m still hoarding a small stash of it: Yanxin’s Reserve Shu, Ginger, Elderberry, Licorice root, & sichuan peppercorns. YUM It is to date my favorite shu blend, & my favorite blend from Verdant ever. I love it. I noticed it is listed as “Out of Stock”, so my guess is this fall (I hope) they will reformulate it with a different Shu, like they reformulated Imperial Breakfast, which is the other puer blend I love. Thanks for the reminder, Bonnie. :)

Bio

I’m so excited to have found this community! I’m a self-employed Harpist (acoustic & electric – Originals, Classical, Rock, Jazz, etc) & Singer/Songwriter. My days & nights revolve around teaching at home, playing gigs, gardening,& fixing awesome food to eat. My schedule is different everyday, but I just go with the flow, & I sip a lot of tea!

My love of Tea began with Herbals back in the 70’s. One of my favorites was a licorice blend from House of Hezekiah, an old tea shop in Kansas City. There was also a tea with mint, rose petals, chamomile, etc called Nuclear Casual Tea.
In the 80’s I gave up caffeine, chocolate, alcohol, (& a few illicit substances…), and brewed medicinal blends & tinctures to support 4 pregnancies (all children born at home). In the 90’s my love affair with green teas began when I discovered ‘The Republic of Tea’. Their beautiful teas & packaging inspired my original song, “TeaMind”, from my CD “Zen Breakfast”. If you’d like to hear the song for free, drop by my website.

In general, I drink my teas straight, but occasionally I add a pinch of Stevia & maybe some coconut or almond milk (I’m allergic to dairy, gluten, & various other things & avoid most sweets.)

I’ve explored a variety of teas:
Whites tend to be a little bland…sorry
Oolongs – wonderfully sensual
Roobios – I’m not a fan in general
Puehr – a fairly new direction for me
I’m not a huge fan of flavored teas, but I do make exceptions, & I’ll try just about anything once.

And Black Tea, Oh how I love thee!!
I am on a quest for the most wonderful breakfast cup! I will find you, my Love!
