Sipdown.

I still don’t get hazelnut in this one. I get where “chocolate” is coming from, although it still tastes more like chocolate flavoring than anything to me. This is great for when you want a really rich, creamy tea. This one actually goes into my head a little. You know what I mean? Ever have certain flavors that seem to get you right in the front of your forehead between the eyes? Not in a “punch” kind of way, like it actually makes your head hurt just the slightest bit when you smell it it’s so sweet.

It was a good sample and exactly that. A sample.

Bio

After years of saying, “I should really start drinking tea!”, I finally got into the habit in the spring of 2013 and I’ve never looked back.

Some of my favorite teas so far:
Fenqqing Dragon Black Pearl (Teavivre)
Earl Grey Cream (Mahamosa Gourmet Tea Co.)
Laoshan Black (Verdant Teas)
Laoshan Black Genmaicha (Verdant Teas)
Yu Lu Yan Cha (Verdant Teas)
Yun Nan Dian Hong (Teavivre)
Rose Dian Hong (Teavivre)
Bailin Gongfu (Teavivre)
Premium St. Valentine Tea (Czar Nicholas II)
Vanilla black tea (Zen Tea Life)

…Black tea pattern? I have no idea what you’re talking about. I’ve also enjoyed the few pu-erhs I’ve tried and want to try more. Need more experience with oolongs. Have had some good greens, whites, and rooibos but I’m never in the mood for them. Not a fan of chai, fruity teas, tisanes, or a lot of teas that taste like food.

I have a gaiwan, but I tend to prepare my tea Western-style 97% of the time. I’m less particular than maybe I ought to be about a lot of the variables in tea-making, which sometimes leads to me being a Tea Klutz.

Steepster is awesome. I love hearing from other tea drinkers and reading about teas I haven’t tried yet. Don’t be shy of dropping me a message!
