China Keemun Imperial (No. 502) from SpecialTeas
66

De-cupboarding this one – yay! A confession: this tea? Two years old. Eep! But honestly, it’s mellowed out in that time to be a much smoother smoky tea. There’s an obvious sweetness that is like light honey. It’s honestly not a bad tea at all – I’d buy it again if I had no Keemuns and there was a world Keemun shortage with this as the only one available (whereas with Rishi Keemun I’ve had, I’d rather go without). It’s not the best but it certainly isn’t the worst. Especially after two years mellowing in my pantry.
(PS – Am I the only one that has a fear of typos when typing the word “pantry”? I’m always afraid I’ll end up talking about the tea’s place in my panty.)
(And speaking of typos, I initially submitted this log with the above line reading “tea’s play in my panty.” Oy.)

It always freaks me out when people refers to their…undergarments as panties.
IT’S UNDERWEAR, PEOPLE!

Heh, this reminds me of that gender test they used to have on The Spark, where you would take a quiz and it would guess your gender…apparently women hate the word “moist” more than “used,” and vice versa for men.

Okay, I had to avert my eyes at “moist”. Hehe!
Panties make me think of the diaper covers for little with ruffles on the butt.

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.
