Deep burgundy color. The flavor is smooth and earthy with a medium body and has slight cedar, cocoa, and coffee flavors upfront, and ends with lighter citrus and hay notes, followed by a run-on sentence. :)

Aww, man! I was kind of looking forward to the blood pact :P hehe

I’ve noticed Bonnie’s posts are always very descriptive, and reading her notes on some of the pu’erhs you sent me I see a lot of things that I tasted in the teas, but wouldn’t have thought of myself

Its great to find such an awesome community here

Profile

Bio

My name is Thomas,

I’ve always loved tea and coffee, but I only started getting into good quality loose tea about a year ago.

My favorites teas right now are pu’erhs, Yunnan blacks, and Taiwanese oolongs. The only non-flavored teas that I don’t really care for are jasmine teas and highly vegetal greens. I’m not that into flavored teas, but I love a good cup of chai.

I’m a junior at University of Central Florida studying Health Services Administration, and I hope to go on to get my master’s degree.

Besides tea, I’m pretty obsessed with music. I’ve played guitar and violin for quite a while in classical styles, rock, etc., and am currently spending most of my music time studying sitar and hindustani sangeet. My music preferences are sort of all over the place.

Also love hiking/camping, Minecraft, Dr. Who, and downhill longboarding :)
