derk drank Chocolate Covered Marshmallow by Cuppa Geek

1548 tasting notes

Advent Day 11, From the Depths of the Grab Bag.

“Smells kinda like, uh butter rum, butterscotch, caramel. Not too bad, I can taste the black tea underneath but the smell is like caramel macchiato or something. Smells really sweet but it’s not at all. It’s not something I would pick but it’s okay. Yeah, I might have it again but I’d say it’s a 7. It’s not a chocolate covered marshmallow. shakes head Not a chocolate covered… burps Caramel macchiato — that’s the new name of it. Maybe the marshmallow makes it taste.. or makes it smell so sweet like that. Right little pixie? Right little monkey? as she gives the cat a love shake "

I can’t even count how many nicknames I have for my cat… I wonder if I even call her by her proper name anymore.

Profile

Bio

This place, like the rest of the internet, is dead and overrun with bots. And thus I step away.

Eventual tea farmer. If you are a tea grower, want to grow your own plants or are simply curious, please follow me so we can chat.

I most enjoy loose-leaf, unflavored teas and tisanes. Teabags have their place. Some of my favorite teas have a profound effect on mind and body rather than having a specific flavor profile. Terpene fiend.

Favorite teas generally come from China (all provinces), Taiwan, India (Nilgiri and Manipur). Frequently enjoyed though less sipped are teas from Georgia, Japan, Nepal and Darjeeling. While I’m not actively on the hunt, a goal of mine is to try tea from every country that makes it available to the North American market. This is to gain a vague understanding of how Camellia sinensis performs in different climates. I realize that borders are arbitrary and some countries are huge with many climates and tea-growing regions.

I’m convinced European countries make the best herbal teas.

Personal Rating Scale:

100-90: A tea I can lose myself into. Something about it makes me slow down and appreciate not only the tea but all of life or a moment in time. If it’s a bagged or herbal tea, it’s of standout quality in comparison to similar items.

89-80: Fits my profile well enough to buy again.

79-70: Not a preferred tea. I might buy more or try a different harvest. Would gladly have a cup if offered.

69-60: Not necessarily a bad tea but one that I won’t buy again. Would have a cup if offered.

59-1: Lacking several elements, strangely clunky, possess off flavors/aroma/texture or something about it makes me not want to finish.

Unrated: Haven’t made up my mind or some other reason. If it’s pu’er, I likely think it needs more age.
