Yum yum. The beau and I are visiting my father for the weekend, so we have limited tea quantities. Luckily, this is one we brought with us. We popped it in his teapot with the inside of our travel mugs (yay ingenuity!) and are now enjoying a couple mugs of Monk’s Blend. There is a bit of an odd milky taste to it, we think it’s residue from the Red Rose that my father drinks obsessively. Other than that little change, this is a lovely cup. I still get creamy caramel sort of flavours and a sweet floral hint. Not the best mug I’ve ever had, thanks to that milky taste, but it’s yummy!

Bio

I’ve been drinking loose tea since 2010 and my tastes have changed a lot over those years. For the last few, I’ve been a fan of unflavoured Chinese blacks and shu puerh. I still drink other things, but that’s where I am.

I live in a rural area with my husband, cat, and soon to be firstborn. I love tea, reading, doctor who, knitting, crosswords, board games, the marvel universe, and lots of other things.

I’m not often rating teas numerically any more but I want to leave this to explain my past ratings:
I try to only log teas once or twice because I drink a lot of the same ones repeatedly. My rating is based on my perception of the tea at first tasting and is adjusted if anything notable occurs in subsequent cups. I may also factor in the price and customer service but try to note that when I can.

81 – 100: These are great teas, I love them, regularly stock them or savour them as unique treats.
71 – 80: These are solid. I drink them, I like them, I may or may not keep them on hand regularly. This is still good stuff.
61 – 70: Just okay. I can drink it, but it doesn’t stand out to me. Might be lower quality, not to my taste, or outside my comfort zone.
41 – 60: Not likely to keep drinking…hoping hubby will enjoy!
0 – 40: No thank you, please. Take it away and don’t make me finish the cup.
