Debbie drank Yunnan Golden Pu-erh Tea by Teavana

353 tasting notes

I oversteeped this. I walked away from the tea and forgot about it until long past when I should have taken the leaves out. Still, the flavor was not bitter, or overly strong (which makes me wonder how weak it is if I had followed the steeping instructions).

I grew up on Pu-erh tea in Chinese restaurants. To my mind, this is what generic tea tastes like. I find it honestly a little bland and boring because of that. Maybe I’ll find a Pu-erh tea that rises above the class one day.

Bio

I’m a tea-aholic. I’ve always loved tea. It is soothing and warm and comforting. I always had it when we went out to eat as a child so my first association is with rich and delicious food.

As an adult, I’m learning to enjoy tea on its own merits, and bask in its subtleties and varieties. The ritual of making a cup of tea is instantly relaxing.

I prefer oolong and white teas, followed by greens. For the most part, I don’t like straight black tea, but appreciate it as part of a blend or flavored. I’ve learned to love the world of flavored teas out there.

I’m slowly learning to appreciate rooibos blends, which I started drinking for its anti-inflammatory properties.

Love: Oolong, almond, coconut, peach
Hate: Ginger
