JacquelineM drank Emperor's Red by Premium Steap

Feeling very warmed and comforted by this tea today! It’s rainy, chilly, and MONDAY – boy do I need some roasty :) After reading that ashmanra tried it with a hotter water temp and longer steep, I figured I’d give it a shot! It’s very good – stronger but still very mellow if that makes any sense! Nutty/fruity. I think I will keep it like this for future steeps.

Thank you for sharing this sample with me. It was absolutely delicious, a REAL premium tea!

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 I am currently taking classes in order to become certified to teach.

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
