Tea of the afternoon here. I doubt I need much more caffeine today, but at least this is a white tea so it won’t get me too wired. Not a huge jasmine fan here, but when I am in the mood to drink it, it helps to have a good quality jasmine around. The white tea base lends a nice sweetness to this blend. I love the smell of jasmine flowers and it’s soothing to just stick your nose in the cup and inhale deeply… ahhhhh

This also resteeps well and the jasmine is not as strong in steep #2…

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, chai, 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
