Organic Black from China Mist
79

This is a very rich and tasty cup of tea. Its a huge tea bag so I used 14 oz of water. It looks like a huge mini pillow after steeping. I’m going to try and use it again when I finish this cup. At first I thought this was Keemun tea but I think its too brisk and robust to be that. Maybe Kenyan? I wish I knew more about teas so that I could tell, but I’m no expert. No bitterness and maybe just a touch of astringency. This is a very nice breakfast tea and its organic to boot.
2nd steep;
I’m surprised, this cup was almost as good as the first. No bitterness or astringency and still kept most of the robust and brisk taste. I can’t do this with most pyramid bags, very nice cup.

I am evolving as a tea drinker. I drank coffee until 2 years ago and my tea drinking was consigned to tea bags. I started drinking tea when I was in Hawaii for 4 months. I drank tea, exercised, ate right and followed the directions of my son who is a body builder. I lost 70 pounds. I am keeping up my good habits which include drinking tea. I am healthier, happier, and look forwards to trying different kinds of teas and seeing all that I have missed during the last 6 decades.
