So there’s this semi-fancy Chinese restaurant that I like to go to on occasion for lunch. They have a great Jasmine black tea that they serve up both hot or cold. They’re starting to know me there so when I ordered hot tea with my meal today they brought me a teapot! They probably just saved themselves a few trips to the kitchen! :-)
Anyway, the tea is a lovely jasmine, not overly floral and just the the right amount of bitter. The black to base is smooth and rich.
I run, I sing, I drink tea. That’s the best description I have of me.
I’ve always enjoyed tea, but have just started trying out a lot more loose teas and varied brands. I’m really excited about a site like steepster so I can read about what people think about different teas.
Oh and I really hate Lipton tea. There’s something just awful about it and I can’t understand why nearly every local diner only has Lipton.
Also I’m on the search for a full-bodied, fruity blackberry tea. So if you have any suggestions feel free to throw them my way! :-)

I think Chinese restaurants should always bring you a teapot. That’s great service and it makes me happy!
Yes! I go out of my way sometimes to eat at restaurants that serve in a teapot!
