After reaching for an uninspired cup of Earl Grey yesterday, I remembered that I had one more serving of this mate left and thought it would really hit the spot, even I’d be sad to be out of it. Heavy on the leaf, I steeped it an extra 30 seconds and was rewarded with a rich flavorful cup. I wonder if this will be good with just a touch of frothed milk?

2nd steep: 11 mins

Between here and my last tasting note, there is an unlogged backlog of Black & Blue by 52teas and A&D’s Elf Blend twice.

Now that you mention it, I have a little left, too … I’m thinking it might be absolutely yummy chilled with a little milk the next stuffy afternoon I can play with it.

I’m 33 years old, studying pharmacy, and have a surly cat named Bin. I love tea, coffee, beer, wine, and most things food and beverage related. I also love music, movies, reading, writing, and learning new things.

I’ve drank tea all my life but about five to six years ago, my close friend Spautz got into tea and got me more into tea. I drink black teas and tisanes/herbals most. Since receiving a variable temperature kettle from my parents for Xmas this past year, I’ve been drinking more greens, oolongs, and whites. I’m very very new to puerh. That is, I’ve had only one.
