2965 Tasting Notes
So the Groundhog saw his shadow, but I’m eschewing the six more weeks of winter in favor of a spring-like tea.
I don’t know why this has been so long neglected in my cupboard (other than my massive stash of teas, that is). Its quite nice, light, with lots of tasty floral flavor and a hint of fruitiness to it. Its come along to be the next work tea, where I am looking forward to drinking more of it.
Once again my eyes open an hour before the alarm goes off. What gives, body/brain? Why do you do this? Aaaarghh!
So, Malachi, you are up to the bat. Help me out of this fog.
This is just such a dependable tea. Its strong without being overwhelming, and has a soothing mellowness to it, so that the jolt you get from it is not enough to give you a heart attack.
May it help this day proceed smoothly.
Sipdown! Wahoo!
I am victorious. I defeated this tea, and it did not overcome me.
The summary is as follows-meeeeeh. Blargh. I didn’t find anything that tasted like cake in this cup, just a sorta unpleasant sourness.
But now its a sipdown! One closer to my goal, and victory is mine!
Oooh boy. The last time I reviewed this tea was four years ago. Four years! Aaaargh!
Into the work bag it went today, and now its on my desk, where it is going to get sipped down, darn it all.
I blame this reticence on my imperfect relationship to green tea. I’m never the worlds # 1 green tea fan, but as I get older I’m finding it easier to appreciate. Me of the past, however, was perfectly willing to shove teas to the back of the cupboard and ignore them for years.
Well, that stops with this cup!
I’m afraid age has taken some of the shine off of this. Its got a mellow, strawberry sort of flavor to it, but nothing special. Nothing bad, either. So I’ll get this drunk down soon enough!
The thrill of the chase! I have almost caught the bottom of the bag on this one, and am very excited.
I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I get no cake flavor at all from this- just a slightly berry ish tang. At least, with a light enough steep, it does not get too bitter.
Woke up an hour before my alarm from a work-related nightmare. Fun. Bleh.
I quite like this. I think I don’t all the way adore it (yet, anyway), but I really do like it. The flavors are blending together very well, and the scent is lovely.
Generally its a calming cup, which is a nice thing after a rough night of sleep.
