Backlogging. 13 days ago. Monday morning.

First cup of the day. Tart berry yum.

Backlogging. 14 days ago. Early Saturday afternoon.

Still muddled and not getting white chocolate strawberry from it. Will have to try again soon, maybe with more leaf.

A rich first cup of the day. An on purpose extra long second steep mimicking my accidental extra long second steep of DFT R29 ceylon yielded again a much more enjoyable cup than my traditional second steep times.

2nd steep: 20+ mins

Backlogging. 11 days ago. Friday morning.

I wanted to go with a chocolate tea this morning and this one sounded good even though I haven’t tried it yet. Honestly, I’m really not getting white chocolate strawberry from this tea. As it cools because I’m looking for it I think I get a texture that reminds me of white chocolate more than tastes like it and as it cools further I think I get some strawberry. Not a bad cup by any means, just not getting the intended flavor.

Another tasty cup indeed. Made with the more leaf method. lol

The second steep I forgot for about 20 minutes and omg was it good. This I will have to do again sometime too.

Backlogging. 9 days ago. Wednesday late night.

A nice soothing cup of tea after I got home from my Labor Day weekend dog sitting.

Quickly consumed a cup to wake me up before I had to get ready to leave. What’s notable about this session is that I steeped a second cup to drink post shower then completely forgot about it and was sad to have to abandon it. =(

2nd steep: 8 mins 30 sec

Backlogging. 12 days ago. Last Thursday morning.

Needed a second black tea. This hit the spot quite nicely.

2nd steep: 6 mins

Drank with a splash of milk after a breakfast of honey wheat toast with chunky peanut butter and strawberry conserves. I’m going to need more black tea this morning, a lot more black tea.

Okay so. During The Great Unlogged Period, I also had this one several more times. The grape instead of raisin flavor diminished some over time but not greatly. But I have not tried it in quite some time.

So this was my second cup of tea yesterday. And it was just weird this time. Something that I think was the oatmeal flavor came out more. But it tasted like fake something that was not fake oatmeal but also not fake plastic but reminiscent of a fake plastic taste at times but at other times tasted like oatmeal or grains. The raisin is still verging on grape-ness but I can get it raisin if I think about it. I’d had hopes this might get better.
