Angrboda drank Black Currant Bai Mu Dan by 52teas

Looks like once again me needing to make an announcement and this tea gets connected. It’s rather less dramatic this time though, as I just wanted to say that we are off to England this morning and will return shortly before New Years Eve. I’m very unlikely to be able to be in touch at all while away, but I’ll have tons of posts for you when I get back, ie. the entire 52teas Christmas box.

The choice of this particular tea is actually a backlog from yesterday. It has the boyfriend seal of approval although he was shocked to learn that it wasn’t a black. This has since led to some confusion around here as I have to pay attention to whether he requests ‘black fruity’ or ‘black and fruity’ which are not the same things at all. Anyway, we had this yesterday, last cup of tea at home before Christmas.

Happy Christmas all, and I’ll see you when I get home. You will definitely see me, the number of posts I’ve got lined up for then. :D

Safe travels and wave to England for me. We spent almost two weeks there last summer, first overseas trip with the two little ones, and a great time was had by all.

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.
