Babble drank Ginger Ale Bai Mu Dan by 52teas

Thanks to Dylan for the sample.

This… wasn’t bad, but I was a bit let down. The ginger wasn’t too strong for me. I was also surprised that this white tea, when it barely seemed to expand in the brewer.

It’s not bad, but I think I was hoping for ginger-ale tasting tea. Maybe I set my expectations too high?

Also, apparently there is bergamont in here, and I didn’t even notice. I’m pretty sensitive to it, so I’m surprised it slipped past my radar.

I’m also cold brewing some of this as we speak, because I wanted to see how it fared cold-brewed.

So the short story is, a few years ago I was VERY MUCH into tea. And then a lot of things happened, and I got out of tea for a while. And now, I’m back.

To me, tea is the missing puzzle piece for my healthy lifestyle. When I drink tea I am encouraged to eat healthy and be active. I drink tea because I simply enjoy the taste, but the health aspects are just an added bonus.

I love all types of teas, although greens and oolongs tend to be my favorite. I also love a good herbal.

Unless otherwise stated, I drink my teas straight. To brew I either use my ingenuiTEA or T-Sac (for teas that don’t expand much). One of these days I might break down and buy a Breville, but I’m trying to resist..

I’m kinda strict when rating my teas. I rarely give a tea above a 95. Teas that I really like I keep in the 95-85 category. I’ve yet to give a tea 100 yet. So, if you see a tea about 95, that means I thought it was an amazing tea!
