Tegsy

Tegsy drank Pomegranate Oolong by Harney & Sons

I’ve been looking to try this tea for sometime since I love Pomegranate. I’m not such a fan of Oolong so I held off. I got lucky when I attended the World Tea Expo Harney had a booth and I was able to get a sample to try. I must say it smell wonderful. I think I smelled it more than I drank it. I liked it but not as much as I enjoyed drinking Paris. I don’t know if it has to do with my not liking Oolongs or not. I have a 2nd packet to try the tea again.
It may also because I have changed the way I brew my tea at work. Rather than drinking from my regular mug I’ve added water to an 8 oz cup and steeped the tea. Will have to give it a 2nd try and compare the two tries. =)

Like most everyone I started out drinking Lipton tea. On a trip back to my home state of Oregon, I discovered Stash Tea Company. I liked them because they were from my home state and the flavors that I found. =) On a trip to Paris, France, I stopped by Mariage Freres. I had my “Ahhh” moment. The gentleman asked what I liked – at the time Earl Grey. My eyes went wide when he picked up this barrel of tea & shook it, opened the lid and said smell. I was in love. My first taste of loose leaf tea was Imperial Earl Grey. I took a break from tea but continued to drink Stash Tea.
Another door to explore opened with the discovery of Jane Pettigrew’s The Tea Companion: A Connoisseur’s Guide. I started marking off the teas I tasted in her book. I have purchased other tea books as well but Jane’s book has been the one I have always returned to for teas. I had the pleasure of picking up Jane’s new updated version of the book at the World Tea Expo. I look forward to tasting more teas. =)
