Connoisseur Master Blend from Grace Tea Company

mrawlins2 drank Connoisseur Master Blend by Grace Tea Company

This is a decent, basic black tea. I tend to like my blacks teas a little bolder, but this will do in a pinch.

On the plus side, I should be receiving some awesome teas in the mail soon! I placed a small order with Harney and Sons and 52teas this morning!

Congrats! You are a winner of Chrine’s First Comment Contest. I think I made a mistake just announcing it in a comment after a tealog and not PMing the winners as well. So here is a PM and the original comment is below. Please PM me your addresses and let me know if you’re interested in any teas in my cupboard as well. (I don’t think you’re following me, so I couldn’t PM you.)

Chrine’s First Comment Contest Winners!

And the winners are… mrawlins and Alannah (courtesy of http://www.random.org/lists/). Please PM me your mailing addresses and let me know if there is anything else in my cupboard you might be interested in trying (dependent on amount left, etc.).

Profile

Bio

I am a former coffee drinker turned tea lover.

Black tea is probably my favorite type of tea, but I rather enjoy most types… I’m even developing a taste for pu-erh.

Rating Scale:
0-10: This tea is either flavorless or just plain undrinkable. I will avoid these teas in the future.

11-20: I was only able to make it through a few sips before pouring the tea out.

21-30: I may have been able to make it through the first cup but the thought of having another has me cringing.

31-40: Teas in this range are not horrible, but nothing I would seek out in the future.

41-60: Would drink if offered, but would not purchase for myself.

61-70: Okay, nothing special

71-80: Enjoyable, but I have to be in the mood for these. Probably would purchase if I found a really great price.

81-90: Pretty good tea, will probably be one of my favorites.

91-95: These teas are really excellent. I wouldn’t necessarily run out and buy more of these (just because there are so many teas out there that I haven’t tried), but I would miss this tea.

96-99: Terrific, very impressive.

100: This special rating is reserved for teas that are absolutely perfect in my opinion. I will only give out a rating of 100 to one tea per category (Earl Grey, unflavored black, dessert tea, Irish Breakfast, etc). These are teas that I really want to have around.

Perfect Teas so Far:

Earl Grey: Saint Isaac’s Blend (Russian Earl Grey) from Upton

Dessert Tea: Marco Polo from Mariage Freres

Unflavored Black: Emperor’s Red from Premium Steap
