Shadowfall

Shadowfall drank Peach Oolong by Adagio Teas

The smell out of the bag was wonderful. Peachy and delicious. Unfortunately my first cup was not. Following the brewing instructions on the bag of 212°F @ 3 min gave me a pot of tea that smelled like burnt coffee. Ugh!
The second time around with fresh leaves I used 180°F @ 3min and it was so much better. Added a little bit of sugar and it was delicious. Even when it had gotten cold, so when summer rolls around I’m definitely going to be making iced tea with this.
I still want to play around with the steeping times, but for this one, a lower water temp is for sure.

I wanted to cut soda out of my life, so I started drinking more tea. Now I’m quickly becoming addicted. But that doesn’t seem like so bad of a thing considering all there is out there to try.
I’m most fond of peachy, fruity, sweet teas. But I’m trying to branch out. Spicy stuff not so much since I can’t seem to get past the spice taste to anything underneath.
I started with blacks, but oolongs are quickly becoming my new favorite. Unfortunately, I haven’t really been able to find a green or white tea that I really enjoy. Eventually maybe.

Open for swaps. If you see something in my cupboard that you’re interested in, feel free to send me a message about it. Unfortunately alot of what I have in my cupboard are sample sizes and as such, I don’t really have a whole lot to swap after I sample. But it never hurts to ask. ^^
