Angrboda drank Russian Blend by Samovar

obviously i’m not too good at being quiet. doulton is a very generous lady who wanted to celebrate tjhe queen’s recent 70th birthday wtih me by gifting me some tea, and i just received a sizeable selectiuon of stuff. two of thjem were things i had asked for and the rest stuff she thought i would like. inclliuding a few things that i had been interested in previusly and forgotten aboiut, so it woild appear that doulton has spent quite an effort on workong out what i tend to like best.

sinve typiung is so hjard starting with something brand new was a bit hard for me because i want to be able to write a prober reviuew, so the fact that she also inclided a fresh sippkly of this one that auggy sent me earklier and i hjad precioius little left off was my rescue.

this is an all roinmd awesome tea. smokeu and lovely and rememberig the success of milk and jam, i added a small teaspoonful of raspberruy jam, unfirtunately i doin’t have any milk.

i’ve tried dictating to myself instead of writing (fiction) and found it quite difficult. it’s harder to keep my thoughts in order and on the right track when i canøt see thye text in front of me. may7be it’s a practice thong. it woild definitely be cool if i could be ‘writing’ whiiole doinjg the washing up or something. :)
stiches are ciming out on monday so it’s a matter of tim,e anyway. :)

Hehe – okay, I know your finger is hurt (but hopefully healing!) so I shouldn’t laugh at your typos but “practice thong” makes me laugh so hard.

lol! i’ve given up on keeping up with all my typos. but that was a good one. (had i noticed it i would probablu have ficxed it, though)

giggles i love the typos though they make my work more amusing (server logs aren’t entertaining)

I’m so glad you didn’t notice it then! Practice thong has literally made my world a brighter place today!

ROFL! I adore “practice thong!” It’s like a training bra, but for your bum! :D

Aww, you still aren’t well yet? Is it bad that I love these tasting notes? It reminds me a child trying to speak English :)

Profile

Bio

Angrboda felt her bio needed to be re-written, but she failed to consider what she wanted it to say instead.

Um…

Okay. Ang prefers black teas and the darker sorts of oolongs. She has to be in the mood for green and white and she enjoys, but knows little to nothing about, pu-erh.

Her preferences with black teas are the Chinese ones, particularly from Fujian, but also Keemun and just about anything smoky. She occasionally enjoys Yunnans but they’re not favourites.

She is sceptical about Indian blacks as she generally finds them too astringent and too easy to get wrong. She doesn’t really care for Darjeelings at all.

She likes flavoured teas as well, particularly fruit flavoured ones, but also has an obsession with finding the Perfect Vanilla Flavoured Black.

However, she thinks Earl Grey is generally kind of boring. Cinnamon and ginger are also not really a hit, and she’s not very fond of chais. Evil hibiscus is evil. Even in small amounts, and yes, Ang can usually detect hibiscus, mostly by way of the metallic flavour of blood it has.

Ang is not super impressed with rooibos or honeybush. She doesn’t care for either, really, but when they are flavoured, there have been known to be surprising exceptions to this rule.

Ang has a number of teas that she regards her Standard Panel and will always try to have on hand.
-Lapsang Souchong, any brand really, but preferably AC Perchs.
-Blackberry flavoured black or similar, any brand.
-Late Summer Blend, AC Perchs
-Raspberry Oolong, AC Perchs OR Red Fruits Oolong, Le Palais des Thes
-Caramel, Kusmi OR Toffee, Le Palais des Thes
-Something orange flavoured, black or pu-erh, any brand.
-Tan Yang Te Ji, Teaspring OR Bai Lin Gongfu, Teavivre
-A good Keemun, any brand.
-The Perfect Vanilla Black if and when she ever finds it…

Angrboda is almost always open to swapping. Just ask her.
