The Purrfect Cup drank Darjeeling by Hampstead Tea

So I followed the directions as I now I’m not a big fan of this type of tea. I will tell you it smells fantastic, a little flowery. Which is interesting to me as I’ve never noticed that with any other Darjeeling teas I’ve tried. The first sip went straight to bitter town. Which did not make me a happy tea drinker. I’m already having a bitter day (lots to do at work).

So I added a little milk and sweetener and that seemed to do the trick to cure the bitters. Now I’m getting more of a sweet (not all from the sugar) taste to this tea! Which turned my frown around. :)

I always find that darjeelings are better when steeped at lower temps.

Bio

Tea lover, wife, mother to three cats, reader, and writer. I started drinking and enjoying tea (yes, yes it was Lipton, but it got me started) when my grandmother first introduced me to tea with milk and sugar (and peanut butter and jelly on toast) and my love just grew from there.

I was brought to loose leaf through a trip to Teavana, but my taste has expanded along with my love of tea in general. Now to get my husband to drink some too! :)

I’m happy to try samples and review them if you are a tea company. PLEASE NOTE I do not want payment for tasting/reviewing your teas. Just the sample will be fine. :)

If you would like to get in touch with me I can be reached via email at thepurrfectcup@gmail.com, thank you.
