Auggy drank Hawaii-Grown Oolong by Samovar

It took me a bit of searching to finally figure out/find what plant it is that this tea reminds me of. But it is shampoo ginger: http://bit.ly/9ldoxp This plant was all over Maui when I was there, particularly on this day trip we took. So this tea reminds me of that trip. I sniff and sip and think of rough roads, waterfalls and tropical lushness.

Not that I need another reason to want to go to Hawaii, but sigh. 30 inches of snow, and sigh again. I think I’m going to build an igloo tomorrow. [No, seriously.]

I would say Hawaii way wins over igloos, but I think most places do… well, and Hawaii just wins.

Sand igloos anyone?

I’ve decided to brave the slowness that is Steepster because I miss seeing all the good teas folks on here discover! Sometimes my notices for PMs and such have been questionable. Email me at your own risk at aug3zimm at gmail dot com.

1 – 10 – Bleck. Didn’t finish the cup.
11 – 25 – Drinkable. But don’t punish me by making me have it again.
26 – 40 – Meh. Most likely will see if the husband likes it iced.
41 – 60 – Okayish. Maybe one day I’ll kill off what I have in my pantry.
61 – 75 – Decent. I might pick some up if I needed tea.
76 – 85 – Nice. I’d probably buy but wouldn’t hunt it down.
86 – 100 – Yum! I will hunt down the vendor to get this tea!

Not that anyone but me particularly cares, but there it is.
