Lemon Cardamom Chun Mee from 52teas
86

Day nine

Lemon and spice, oh, how I would love to have this around when I’m feeling under the weather. It has all the cleansing feel of lemon water, the fiery warmth of a touch of cardamom, and the tranquil elements of an astringent green. There is a soft cushioned sweetness to this cup. I always forget that cardamom is an excellent sweetener spice. I find all the flavours very balanced here. Somewhat mouth drying but not sour enough to cause noticeable puckering.

What a soothing cup to drink the day after “the apocalypse”, or more realistically, what was supposed to be the darkest day of the year. I just wish I still had my curry from the other day to accompany this drink… Well, even if this wasn’t the tea of the day I would still want my palak paneer. I could eat a wide range of Indian food ALL the time.

This tea (and curry) is definitely not for everyone but for those who do enjoy it it’s the best thing.

Bio

Tea is what gets me through being a professional procrastinator and an anthropology undergrad student (I’m better at one of those than the other).

I’ve only been exploring the world of tea for little over a year now so I’m still figuring out my preferences and steeping techniques! I can safely say I enjoy a good chai, fruity blends, creamy notes, white tea, and a nice Dragonwell, however. I either love or hate rooibos and chamomile makes me happy.

Besides tea, I like my books and TV series (usually sci-fi/fantasy), music, doodling, and skiing when I get the chance. I respect a good sense of humour and seasoned wisdom, two things I sorely lack. I also thoroughly enjoy birds. I’m a bit of a crazy bird person.

I don’t always respond in a timely fashion but if you see anything in my cupboards that you would like to try give me a shout!

Ratings (self-reminder):
90-100: Wow!
86-89: Great!
76-85: Good.
70-75: Ok.
60-69: Meh..
51-59: Not good.
34-50: Bad.
1-33: No words can describe how awful this is so I’ve resorted to numbers..
