Himalayan Shangri La White Organic from Rare Tea Republic

Amy oh drank Himalayan Shangri La White Organic by Rare Tea Republic

It’s been a day of good tea but otherwise another boring day in the life. I am having serious fantasies about packing it all in to go to darjeeling or nepal. In any event, this is a delicious white tea. Very sweet and fruity, nice way to wind down the day. A little slice of heaven. :)

My cousins were in and out of Nepal during several political situations over the years and love it there. I agree you should travel…I want to go to Italy again! And Greek Islands like Corfu! Oh well…when is someone going to give us a bunch of money? I just know you’re going to somewhere like Glenburn Estate Resort or somewhere like that!

Wow!! Some really stunningly beautiful landscapes! I’ve been looking at tea gardens for years, and India has to be one of the most beautiful places to live.

Bio

My profile pic is of a pink dahlia at Golden Gate Park.

Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it

59-50 Ick

49 and below Nasty
