No. 01 Rogue Whiskey Barrel Black Tea from Steven Smith Teamaker

LiberTEAS drank No. 01 Rogue Whiskey Barrel Black Tea by Steven Smith Teamaker

Oh… wow! A few weeks ago I was able to get to Steven Smith’s Tea Shop in Portland, and they only had 2 packages of this (they may have had more stashed away, but only two out on the shelf). I greedily grabbed one because it was the tea I had hoped to find there.

And, yes, I’m only just now trying it. What can I say, I have enough tea to fill the pacific ocean.

This is so good. So very very good. I should expect no less from the rock star of tea (Steven Smith, of course). Anyway… did I mention this is good? Yes, it’s very good.

A full-length review is forthcoming…

This sounds amazing! Especially since they put it in the Rogue whiskey barrels. Rogue cures some of their beers in the liquor barrels and they are fabulous. I can only imagine what this tea is like.

Bio

I am obsessed with tea!

I am a co-founder of the SororiTEA Sisters:

I also review teas for the Tea Review Blog:
http://www.teareviewblog.com

In addition to my passion for tea, I am also a mixed media/altered arts artist. You can see some of my art here: http://eccentricpastiche.blogspot.com

I am also a self-proclaimed foodie. I review local restaurants and the food I buy online here: http://hungryinportland.wordpress.com

My favorite teas are Yellow Teas with most Oolong teas at a close second. As far as “flavored” teas go, I love Earl Grey, Chocolate and Jasmine teas.

I also am intrigued by flavored teas with an unusual or unique flavor combination.

I don’t do a whole lot of swaps anymore, however, I do occasionally sell sampler boxes here: http://liberteas.teatra.de/ I don’t always have sampler boxes available as it depends upon how much time I have as well as packaging supplies. I usually post at least one or two sampler boxes per month, though, so if you’re interested, keep an eye out or PM me and I’ll let you know when I have some posted.

Most of the teas that I record in my notes here are going to have a fairly high rating from me. This is not because I am not discerning, but because I do not usually waste my time on drinking tea I do not care for, nor will I waste my time on writing about it.
