Roasted Kukicha from New Mexico Tea Company

LiberTEAS drank Roasted Kukicha by New Mexico Tea Company

This is the last tea for me to try from November’s Steepster Select box … representative of the “Twigs” of the box’s Migration theme.

I’m loving the aroma of the dry leaf… very toasty! Not so much a smoky scent but a roasty-toasty scent.

It’s a really nice Kukicha, lightly sweet, and very lightly roasted flavor, much lighter roasty-toasty taste than the dry leaf scent would lead me to believe. A delicious Kukicha, one of the nicest I’ve tasted.

It sounds like you are holding back. It is good that you finish the November Sampler pack.

I just have a lot of teas to try, and not enough time in a day to taste as many teas as I would like. I always try all the teas in the Steepster Select boxes, it just takes me a few weeks to get to them.

I haven’t tried this Kukicha, but I really like them. I get the feeling this is a love/hate tea.

Bio

I am obsessed with tea!

I am a co-founder of the SororiTEA Sisters:
http://sororiteasisters.com

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.
