I kept a tsp of this back from the Educational TTB2 and am finally getting around to trying it. The only other Keemun I can remember trying is Teavivre’s Organic Superfine Fragrant Keemun. This is waaay different, and I have to say that I prefer the Teavivre one. I’m not getting any of the chocolate notes I got with that one, although the earthiness is comparable. I am, however, getting full on mushroom from this tea. I’ve never had a tea with mushroom notes, but I actually kinda like it. Also, thankfully the smoke beast is absent.
Disclaimer about this note: This tea may have been brewed weird. I don’t know the temperature of the water because when I went to make it, I discovered that my kettle that I keep at work was gone. Not cool. I kept it in the common area for everyone to use and now it’s missing. THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS. Anyway, so the water temp may have been off so I won’t rate it.

Wow, definitely not cool. I hope someone returns it soon!

Shitty human behaviour!

I’d leave a note where the kettle was and ask for its immediate return, no questions asked. That usually gets things replaced at my office quickly.

So, I found the kettle like this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByLDTxpzm4N2a2VzYlRra2t0WFY5YkN4dnRfcjdvTExRM25j/edit?usp=sharing
hidden way in the back of one of the cabinets (it has always just lived on the counter before).
The label is correct, it is broken :(
If whoever it was had just told me, I would have understood. Things happen! But hiding it is just kinda offensive.

I’m so sorry. I would hide the kettle from now on.

:( I’m glad you found it, but I’m really sorry that it’s broken. I agree with boychik – if you get a new kettle, hide it.

Bio

Tea-obsessed, book worm scientist.

I love black tea, especially Chinese black tea- I’m looking at you Fujians and Yunnans! I also enjoy Indian teas, mostly first flush darjeelings (and a select few assams).
I think I’m recently starting to like oolongs better though- gasp! I’ve been cheating on my black teas with all these lovely, alluring green floral oolongs. Sorry I’m not sorry.
White tea gets a lot of love too! I am particularly fond of silver needle whites.
I can’t seem to appreciate green teas and rooibos is foul, IMO.

Other interests: Books! Board games! Nerdy entertainment like Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, Game of Thrones, Sherlock, all the nature documentaries, etc etc. Also Disney!

I’m up for swaps!
