Auggy drank Ancient Yellow Buds by Rishi Tea

After the crazy, interruptive, picky-people-filled day I had today, I wanted – no, I needed something good. Something sweet and light yet solid and grounded. Comforting. I was itching for some Downy Sprout but since I am out, I grabbed this tea. Fantastic tea was needed so urgently, I was even too impatient to wait until the water hit 175°, so I did 180° and just kept the teapot lid off.

This gave me exactly what I was looking for – dark, rich, sweet but substantial. Seriously awesome. I think I could drown in this tea and die happy. It’s only two more points but the serious awesomeness of this tea demands that I give it a 100.

If Auggy works for Rishi, I think takgoti secretly works for Samovar =P. Teaplz secretly works for Golden Moon =]

Nope, it’s just a good tea. Honestly, I’ve never been all that impressed by Rishi’s stuff. This one is just awesome, though. Ancient Emerald Lily is good too but this one is seriously great.

It’s so good. So very good. I’ll be ordering more for sure.

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.
