mrawlins2 drank Earl Grey Cheesecake by 52teas

unfortunately Ilve been so busy that I have fallen off the tea wagon as of late. I realized that all my working and worrying is running me ragged though so I made time to relax tonight and revisit some of my favorite teas. Wow, I forgot how good this tea was. Sometimes it is hard to appreciate all the nuances of a good tea which is one reason I haven’t had much tea lately… I didn’t want to waste great tea by drinking it when I was too busy to truly enjoy it. I probably shouldn’t be having this tea at almost midnight, but I’m glad to feel like myself again. Enjoying my tea and browsing everyone’s tasting notes.

Bah, any time is a good time for tea (then again I’m a student who actually needs black tea at midnight, lol).

That is usually what I would say also as I am too a student…but I also teach first grade so I have to be up way too early.

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
