LiberTEAS drank Ginger Ale Bai Mu Dan by 52teas

This is a tea I’ve been looking forward to trying. I love ginger ale for reasons that are similar to Frank’s story about his grandfather, except that it wasn’t my grandfather, it was my “uncle” (actually, a very good friend of my father’s, who, out of respect, I would call uncle). His patio was party central, complete with a full bar and whenever I went over to his house with my dad, I would always get a ginger ale in a fancy glass, and I could pretend I was having a cocktail with the adults.

This tea reminds me very much of that drink, if for no other reason than the memories that Frank’s story conjured for me. It is yummy… and I’m finding I like it better iced than hot, so I will probably save this tea for warmer weather (as we have a blanket of snow on the ground right now, it’s no time for iced tea!)

YUMMY! Thank you Frank!

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.
