JacquelineM drank Mountain Malt by The Simple Leaf

What a wonderful weekend of Assam teas! I think this chilly weather is bringing out the Assam love in me :) I adore this one because it has the classic malty Assam taste, but it also has an earthiness to it that I appreciate very much. I also can’t complain about the jolt of energy it gives me :) Very unique, and very, very sad that the Simple Leaf is no more. I really think about when is the perfect time for this tea, and Dawn, because I know that I won’t be able to get it again :(

A friend told me that she saw a post somewhere that someone was going to be selling Dawn, so I thought they might also be selling Mountain Malt. I will check into it. Perhaps she was mistaken?

Oooh if you find out anything about it please do tell! I haven’t heard anything about it!

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
