I’ve been drinking my way through some of the Steepster Select teas today, and at the same time Tony & I have been draining the gigantic fishtank. This has been an ongoing process. Last weekend we set up a smaller tank, & today we had a fish catching contest (I won. I have crazy reflexes that are at times dangerous to me, LOL). Anyway, I’ve also been sipping teas.
This is a really tasty one, nicely malty & honey sweet. I didn’t find it to be overly astringent, but it does have this one taste that I haven’t been able to label. It’s a rustic kind of bitterness that I actually enjoy from time to time, & some of Mandala’s teas share this same feature.

I had trouble describing that “rustic bitterness” too! It is not at all astringent, but has this deep, hearty, earthy kind of roasted taste to it that sits on the tongue in such a pleasant way. It is never overpowering. Yeah!
Yeah! :)

Ah, indeed we are! I actually lived there from 2004-2009. I sometimes travel there just to take advantage of all the fun free/cheap things to do there. Cheers!
