KiwiDelight

Maharaja Chai/Samurai Chai Tea Blend from Teavana

KiwiDelight drank Maharaja Chai/Samurai Chai Tea Blend by Teavana

The spices and sugar are over-powerful. I grimaced each time I took a sip. There might as well be no oolong, mate, or roobois in here.

Bio

What fascinates me about tea is its complexity – the history, the manufacturing processes, the influence on cultures, and so on. Even though it’s been well more than a year since tea has become my passion/obsession, I’m still a newb. I namely want to explore the world of Chinese teas.

The only teas I know for certain that I truly dislike are fruity tisanes. I love Japanese greens (sencha, kukicha, and matcha are yummmmm) and chocolatey teas. My favorite herbal tisane is peppermint. Cold-brewed teas I’ve come to like: plain red rooibos, hibiscus, and chai.

I’m a grad school student studying Nonfiction writing. I want to be a science writer because writing is awesome and science is awesome. I like animals, colors, astronomy and cosmology, exercising, and writing and reading.
