Tastes great for tea that came in a paint can. Really, this is very nice. Smooth (as others have noted) and very approachable for a black tea. I am a big fan of Adagio’s Yunnan Gold which is sweeter and earthier. I’m going to try to steep a bit longer next time.
Preparation
Another Traveling Tea Box tea!
I think it tastes like beer-tea! Sorta like some darjeelings taste like wine tea…this tastes like beer tea. Slighty lemony beer tea. It’s not exactly unpleasant, but let’s just say I’m glad it was just enough for tonight’s after dinner pot of tea.
Preparation
At first I too felt that it was just enough. I was not pleased with the purchase and I resigned the tea to the deep dark crevice of the back of my cupboard. Some time past and I thought it would be advantageous for me to give this tea another chance. I brought this tea with me to Haiti…why? Not sure, but I am glad that I did. Have you ever met someone and not hit it off? To only meet up once again and thoroughly enjoy their company…well, this tea is a true friend. It is patient and waits for the right time for enjoyment. Give it another chance when time permits and the sun is shining through the cold window pane…take a sip, then another, you will become friends I am sure.
Haha, I’m with you Pete. I stuffed this towards the back of my cupboard, errr, cardboard box.
PeteG – me ‘n this tea are just two ships that passed in the night – I only had 2 teaspoons to try :) But Jackee Muntz and Thomas Sampson are trying to get to my house through the snow and I hope they will become good friends of mine! I have terrible imaginings that they are going to be boxing in my tea cabinet and cause a ruckus! Maybe I should put them next to the rooibos! I am also worried about how Florence and Marco Polo are going to react when these two hunks of men arrive in the cabinet! They are very refined creatures and I hope they don’t get all snobby and make them feel unwelcome!
I think they have to be on opposite sides of the cabinet. Far away from each other. Jackee and Thomas will rip Florence and Marco Polo into shreds,
Ricky – that’s a great idea!!!! I will put lots of no nonsense Upton solid citizen teas between them to keep the peace. I may have to build a little tea villa for Marco Polo and Florence!
With a garden. I’m sure Florence would like a garden. Flowers perhaps.
Oh those poor citizens =(
Don’t forget a river, Thomas and Jackiee can’t swim, don’t worry!
Next time I try this, I shall need to watch for essence of beer.
I’ll do a full tasting note later, but I got to try this tea today! A&D also has damn fine shipping as well as damn fine tea, so it arrived on Saturday. I didn’t find the box until Sunday evening (oops!) and then tried it this morning.
Nice, smooth, and flavorful. Not too powerful. I can see myself enjoying this tea a lot!
Preparation
I don’t know when mine will get here. Maybe today? I wish they would post up the tracking numbers online. I mean they do ship with it….
Sounds great already judging from your rating.
Ooh, I hope mine gets here today!
Wait, didn’t you order series 3 or was it 2?
Who? Me or Shanti? I’ve got Series 2-4, but only got 4 this time around…
I ordered series 2! Jackee Muntz and Thomas Sampson!
What day did yours ship? Mine is still not here yet. It shipped on Wednesday. So I thought it would be here on Sat (my last A&D order was here in 3 days) or today. But it was not and I was a little sad because I was looking forward to it being in the mail. Perhaps it will be here tomorrow. I’m glad to hear it good though.
Sorry! The comment was meant for Shantea, but it’s also cool to know what everyone ordered :). Ohhh… mine was shipped Friday. So I should get it today or tomorrow. That’s exciting =]
