SIPDOWN!
Many thanks to Mercuryhime for this sample! This is a very special tea indeed. I gave most of this cup and its subsequent infusions to my new husband. It’s so unique! He needed to try it.
He described it as, “It’s got that weird tongue thing again…like the tea is trying to get away from my tongue and escape.”
“Okay, you’re describing the mouthfeel. But what about the flavor?” I asked.
“It tastes like brown construction paper. I like it,” he replied. LOL! Who describes a tea as tasting like paper and then likes it? “I know,” he continued, “It tastes brassy! Yeah, like I’m licking a doorknob.”
I laughed at him and then he said, “I think people would really like to read my tasting notes. I’m the best at tasting notes. You’re jealous.” :) Aww, he’s so adorable! I love my hubby. Maybe he’ll join Steepster and track his own tea journey. You never know!

If he decides to join Steepster, I want to know. His description of this tea is quite unique. :)
If that’s how he writes tasting notes then I would definitely like to read them. :D Glad the sample I sent provided some bonding time.
haha love it! that’s the thing i like about everyone’s tasting notes. they’re all different and none of them are wrong! it’s fun to read how people experience things
LOL! Thanks all. His response to reading your comments was, “Told you! I’m the greatest!” Hahaha! ;)
D’awwwww that’s cute and hilarious! :D I wish my boyfriend would do something other than tell me that it “smells like tea” and wrinkle his nose at me. Although tonight, he chided me for leaving an infuser in my cup after the timer went (it was rooibos, but he doesn’t have a clue what that means), and I said he could take it out… he did and said “that was fun! No, not really. I’m just trying to be involved in your addiction.” Le sigh.
Awww! Well, at least there’s no risk of him drinking your favorite teas. :P
That’s true. He wouldn’t even know what to do with them…
