Absolutely delicious with homemade blueberry buckle. Just sayin’

So impressed with how this lighter, honeyed tea resteeps so well — three glorious steeps today. I think I have one more serving left in my tin — weep!

i know, it’s a bittersweet thing when a tea’s mostly done… yay, because you get to buy more and maybe others as well, but also so sad.

I’ve been trying (for, ah, 3 years now) to get my cupboard to a manageable number and hope to not add any new teas now — I have a few teas with the “golden” profile which should keep me happy for awhile but oof — this one is going to be missed. Of course I don’t know what a manageable number is, but I know it is not 80 (what I currently have!)!

Ysaurella

80 with samples size teas or without ?

@Ysaurella…. awesome follow up question!!!

Blueberry buckle—that brings back wonderfully tasty baby food memories :) Is it like a blueberry crisp with oatmeal?

JacquelineM

Ysaurella – I have a few samples, but the majority is 1 oz or more. Some of my very loved teas, like my black dragon pearls, I have a pound!

gmathis – I didn’t use oatmeal – just a crumble topping (butter flour sugar mushed together and sprinkled over the blueberry part). There are lots of blueberry growers around here — we went to a farm on Saturday and got two pints :)

Bio

I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and attend a large public university doing post-bac work (my BA is in English). I’m interested in the liminal spaces between art and craft, the academic and the practical, the individual and community, and the old and the new. I’m currently exploring these ideas through the disciplines of education, literature, history, and psychology.

I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.

My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes
