OK so maybe I figured it out. But I also have 2nd degree burns. Ha ha. So I made this again. Underleafed. 1tsp for 10 oz cup (normally use 1.5-2 tsp). When drank super hot, it tastes just like flat mountain dew. But sensitive mouth over here, burnt my tongue and palate and inside of cheeks. Ha ha, but I figured it out! Huzzah for me. I need an ice cube now.

Side note: I had no intention of burning myself on purpose, I just wasn’t paying attention when I took the first sip. Watching the movie The Mexican, with classic James Gandolfini, it is awesome and ridiculous at the same time. Gotta love those old movies.

Bio

I am a lifetime tea lover.

I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.

My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.

I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.

I love iced teas and cold brews.

My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.

I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
