gmathis drank Prince Bhodi Dharma by Mariage Frères

A bottom-of-the-basket surprise I had forgotten about; Darjeelings get short shrift at my house.

This Darjeeling/Yunnan combo is smooth with a little “pep” from the Yunnan, with a creamy, carmelly personality. Really nice, especially when you keep an eye on time and temp. (Lightish on both.)

Excellent second steeper,too. Grateful for a companionable afternoon at home with my guys and the time to enjoy it.

Bio

Somebody asked me once when I became a tea junkie; I think it dates back to college when I needed caffeine for a 7 a.m. class but chose not to do coffee. My favorite teapot is a medium-sized Brown Betty given to me by my Mema; the painted flowers are chipping off, but the size and feel is perfect. I rejoice when I get a morning to brew a pot of loose tea starting with a kettle; not a bag and a hot pot.
