Raspberry Oolong from A C Perch's
97

Making tea in a hurry before I change my mind again. I’m finally trying to get through what I’m behind on the dashboard and first Morgana had Kusmi’s Samovar and I thought, “Oh, I should have some of that too!”. And then I scrolled down a little more and Rijje had this infamous raspberry oolong and I thought, “Oh, I should have some of that too!” And… You get the pattern, right?

So I hurried up and made a cup of this before the confusion was complete.

The obligatory sniffing of leaves in near-ecstacy that this tea requires was a good chance to take a look at the amount of leaves. We are dangerously close to a decupboarding here. I’ll have to do something about that post-England, I think.

Yummmm nommy.

Whew 9! Days! Back! I probably ought to stop following some people and try to make it easier for myself to keep up. But I don’t want to stop following anybody. Maybe I ought to have a secondary account with the smaller following list. Angrboda Lite. Nah, it would just get confusing. I guess I’ll just have to do the unpleasant and go through my follow list. This is not working. (How did I avoid breaking my back on a ginormous follow list before I stopped trying to follow everybody????)

At least some of us aren’t drinking much tea because it’s hot outside?

This is terrible to admit, but I pretty much skip over reading anything that’s less than four lines long now unless:

a) It has either an unusually low or an unusually high rating,
b) the name of the tea catches my eye, or
c) the person writing it doesn’t usually do that.

I figure there’s not a whole slew of useful information about the flavor profile that can be packed into so small space unless those conditions are met anyway. This is probably not a failsafe policy, but it’s the only way I can keep up, and I have nowhere near as many people I’m following as you do!

I understand, I’m not following a lot of people, but I am compulsive about reading all the notes.

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.
