The Black Cat from Della Terra Teas
70

I got this tea for one reason… I have a pure black cat called Ebony. http://tinypic.com/r/otq1hd/6

Again I’m not a huge fan of rooibos but I do love fruit. I’m not sure if Ebony knows I am talking about him but he just awoke from his bed and is meowing at me. Bless him, he is very intuitive. Now he is attacking my stairs lol.

The tea smells of a fruit cocktail with a little sweetness. The colour once brewed is misty brown with an orange glow.

The taste is interesting, it’s noticeably rooibos but flavoured with enough fruit to make it drinkable. Pineapple is definitely the strongest fruit I can taste but overall it’s fairly mellow with orange protruding not far behind. It’s a little sweet but could be enhanced nicely with a little sugar.

Overall it’s a nice blend that is suitable for non rooibos fans such as myself. The only downside is that it leaves me with a bit of a dry mouth.

Tabby – Ebony is a very cheeky boy, his look of guilt is not surprising :)

darky – Thank you. That is very kind of you to say. :)

The thought of your cat attacking your stairs made me laugh. Cats are so entertaining.

Profile

Bio

I am 25 years old from Leicester, England. I have been drinking tea for many years now and have been getting more and more appreciative about good tea’s. I like to try new and exciting tea’s and import regularly as a treat.

Tea wise my cravings change constantly from pu erh one month to jasmine green to the next and so on.

I adore cats and have four of my own called Honey, Cassie, Ebony and Ivory.

I also have three fish tanks which thankfully my cats have no interest in. They house an array of tropical fish.

I am a proud vegetarian and have been for the majority of my life. When I say vegetarian I mean just that as well, no fish or seafood, no chicken now and again, no animal products such as gelatine and cochineal.

I am always up for tea swaps so if you see anything in my virtual cupboard then please contact me.

I am also an avid reader and enjoy curling up with a book (mostly crime, horror, thriller, literature genres) in one hand and a cup of tea in the other.

I make gothic and alternative fashion jewellery and sell on eBay for a living. Jewellery making is an art that has been passed down from my mother. I have also just started to sell wire art and wire wrapped gemstone jewellery all handmade by yours truly.

I also work for a family based company that specialises in gemstone jewellery, essential oils, rare Andara pieces and lots more. http://angelleesadesigns.com/
