1st Steep of the Day and 1st of the Year.
Wanted to Start the Year with a Little Spice.
So I went with the Strauss Apple Cinnamon.
The Dry Sachet Smells like a Warm piece of Apple Pie.
When Steeped for 5 min with 205’ Water the Fragrance gets stronger.
And on 1st Draw you might want to wipe off any PIE Crumbs you dropped.
The Nectar is Golden Brown, and the Right Mix of Apple Cinnmon.
They must have proof tested this Tea at a Pie Bakery.
Very good choice.
Keep on Steepin.

1st Steep of the Day
What a Treat for the End of the Year.
This Strauss Wildberry Herb became so Memorable for me.
On opening the Can the Dry Sachets remind me of a long discontinued Wine.
A very Good vintage (1960-1970’s) French wine Nectarose.
The Fragrance was so Strong and Sweet, I was anxious for the water to heat.
The water being added diffused the fragrance even more.
I waited the 3 min steep time and enjoyed the profound smells
The nectar in the cup displays a pink/rose color (like the Wine I recall)
The first draw of the liquid was such a Joy, Sweet Fruit Warm Explosions.
With a Tasteful sense of Comfort and pleasure.
This Tea has just moved to the Head of my class.
Highly Recommended Try this Out if you can find it.
Keep on Steepin.

Thursday Dec. 30, 2010
1st Steep of the Day Went the Pu-erh Way
Yamamotoyama Sampler Oolong Pu-erh.
This is one of 9 Samples in this Stash Distributed Box tea.
The Dry Tea smells Leafy and my nose didn’t detect any major difference
This is a bagged Pu-erh in individual Foil packets
But nothing unusal compared with other Leaf Tea bags. (Wow)
This 1st steep was infused for 5 minutes in Boiling Water
The Liquer is Golden Brown Earthy Smelling more so then the Dried leaves
First Hot sip is Pungent and slightly Dry to the taste.
After Notes are Pleasent and Refreshingly Clean and Clear Tasting
Later Warm Sips are more Distinct with a Musty and Earthy Presence.
This was a GREAT Introduction to the Mystery of Pu-erh’s
I am now looking forward to try a Brick or Cake Pu-erh in the Future.
Great way to try these Teas

Newly bought so newly Tried.
Other Steepsters have Tried and Logged their Taste’s
This Bagged Tea Dry smells of Clove and Cinnamon.
