15061 tasting notes

huh. courtney sent this one my way and as a brand new tea! i figured it was worth the pleasure of being tasting note 4200…which isn’t meant so much as a brag, because we all use steepster differently, but more of a way of checking in with myself on how my tea journey is progressing. It will be interesting to see where i land at my steepsterversary in a few months :) I’ve logged nearly 1800 different teas tried, so i figure i’m a little up on that since there are teas that remain unlogged i’m sure.

This tea? A pleasant surprise from courtney and one that i quite like. I’m not generally a fan of green teas, but this one works for me. It’s not really what i’d call a mint tea….strawberry and fruity yes…but the mint (i assume it’s there..) is seriously muted. I feel like the mint is there, because of the way the strawberry is coming through, but i don’t really feel like there’s enough there for me to call this a mint tea. There’s strawberry and orange and bamboo…and a hint of what i’m guessing is the mint. Overall, i really like this! thanks courtney!

i think it’s mostly because i find it relaxing. it’s not dealing with morons, or fussing with politically correct language…or trying to guess how person z will take something…and all the other bullcrap out there… it’s just hanging out with all the cool tea people, having a good time!

TheTeaFairy

When I find a tea you haven’t tried I feel like the Tea Master. Also, I completely agree with the mint, and I’m glad you enjoyed it. :)

Sil

LOL we still need to swap for steam/bayswater teas courtney so you can try anything you didn’t pick up, that i did…if there are any that is. if not, well that’s cool lol

Sil

Courtney

I feel the same way about steepster, Sil. I’m new but so far, everyone’s so nice! Probably the nicest bunch of people on the internet.

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling as well!

Most of that is on hold these days though, including tea drinking like I used to as I have a new little one who eats up all my spare time.
