95

Yesterday my daughter missed the bus, so I ended up driving her to school. I had already steeped a cup of this, so I threw it in a travel mug and headed out the door. My daughter commented on how it smelled a little like a campfire. She was curious enough to try a sip, and while it wasn’t her favorite her comments on it began the most enjoyable discussion about tea, blending tea flavors, and other areas of the world. I kinda wanted to drive past her school so we could keep talking, but I dropped her off because that was the responsible thing to do. We’ll save a hookey day for when the cabin fever really hits us. :)

While this may not be my daughter’s cuppa I enjoyed it quite a bit. One of my favorite aspects of this tea is how smooth it is. Other smokey teas I’ve tried have has some harshness or at least a bit of a rough edge, but there’s none of that here. This is smooth, rich, minty and smokey. Is it bad I’m happy I get it all to myself?

Tea obsessed since 2010.

My Rating System:

100-95 = Teas I actively seek out and keep in my pantry. If you are a guest in my home chances are I will offer you one or all of these teas. Also, if/when these teas are discontinued I openly mourn their loss.

94-85 = Teas I truly like, often have in my pantry, and sometimes restock. These are my variety-is-the-spice-of-life teas.

84-75 = They’re good teas and I enjoy drinking them on occasion.

74-65 = These teas are ok, but not really my thing.

64-55 = meh.

54-45 = I will if I have no other option.

44 and below = Coffee, please.
