drank Adele H by THEODOR
362 tasting notes

This tea is still a fabulous idea, but just to add a note I had total beginner´s luck with it. It´s a fussy b*tch to brew just right. Or maybe it´s me and Assams, we do not get along. Still a lovely lovely brew when right, it´s just I am getting a bit tired of making it wrong.

That is it, Mélange de Galice rather than this to the re-buy list.

I saw yesterday at Theodor’s shop a sooooo beautiful vintage tin of Adèle H but I managed to resist !

I like their old tins even better than the new ones I admit. I like all their tins to be honest (the pile up safe! they close really well. instructions specific to each tea), pity about the price! I like their bags also actually and can afford much more teas if I ignore the tins, so will try to be good.

Bio

Inconstant tea drinker – I mostly drink tea when not too hot. I hang around steepster much more frequently in (northern hemisphere) cold season. Experimenting with cold steeping, for summer.

- Teas -

I like all sorts of tea, flavoured and unflavoured, though I am picky.

I am one of those people who actually loves Lapsang Souchong. I am not crazy about Earl Grey, in general. I don´t quite get Darjeeling teas, but I am exploring.

I like rooibos, though not all bases. I loathe hibiscus. I do not like fennel/liquorice/anise in blends or teas with chicory. I am picky about what I consider true cinnamon.

As you can probably tell from my cupboard, the brands I find more interesting right now are Mariage Fréres and Thé-o-Dor.

I am always willing to try anything new. I am now particularly interested in single origins.
