Angrboda drank Bourbon Vanilla by Kusmi Tea

I poured a few mouthfuls of this on the table.

Because I missed the cup.

And Charm is trying to make off with the contents of the bin.

It’s been that sort of day, really.

I have been wondering what this tastes like…this is one I haven’t tried from them!

It’s subtle in flavouring like their caramel. It’s still not my perfect vanilla black (why is this so elusive?) but I am quite enjoying it. Probably enjoying it more today than I was when I gave it the 76 points. On that day, I think I was just disappointed it didn’t match the caramel in awesomocity. Managed a rather good steep of it this afternoon too.

Awesome! Thanks Angrboda! Great info!~

I can share some of it with you if you like. :)

OoooooooO! Really!? Awesome! Thanks! HEY!!! Since I am digging thru my piles of tea…want to do a swap?

Yeah, why not? :D I’ll put some extra things in it for you then. I’ll try to make sure they are things you haven’t posted about before, but I can’t guarantee. Let me know if there is anything in particular you would like to try. I’m expecting a rather large Nothing But Tea order one of these days, so I’ll wait putting anything together until I’ve got that.

Unless you’ve moved recently, I think I’ve got your address. I don’t know if you’ve got my new one. Let me know if you need an update.

Scratch that, can’t find it. Shoot me a pm, please.

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.
