JacquelineM drank Emperor's Red by Premium Steap

Gosh I love this tea :) I let it go to five minutes today and boy is it roasty and fruity! I think I was a little too shy with this one. Thanks ashmanra for giving me the idea to be a little gutsier with my steeping parameters!

I am in a slight panic – my 4oz tin is almost gone! Hopefully I can carve out some time for a walk to Premium Steap next week to replenish my stock, and see if they have anything in resembling a decent Yunnan (plus some of that yummy sounding chocolate/mint/rooibos).

I must confess I have been thinking lustfully of this tea ever since my sample ran out. I think I will have to place an order for it. When you want this one, other teas can seem so…..bland. I understand your panic!

I would be happy to send you some more! I will put it in your super secrut present which is now all ready to go out on Friday :)

Wonderful! I am imagining inhaling the rich, chocolate-y aroma right now – aaaaahhhh!

Gah! If I had noticed that last part in time I would have sent you some of my Tippy Yunnan by Harney and Sons! Maybe I can get it out to you….

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
