drank Kashmir Chai by Pekoe Tea Lounge
1500 tasting notes

Bah. Images not working. I do have a lovely picture, and will add it when I can. So, this is a green chai, which intrigued me enough to get a sample from the owner of Pekoe Tea Lounge. I must say, it’s a delicious blend — however I do think there is some black tea in here as well, or at least something granular that looks like black tea. It’s sweet and earthy in a chai-like way, with all of the requisite spices in there… cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon, black pepper. I wish I’d grabbed more!

I’ve noticed several of your notes from this place so I Googled them. Looks like a nice place for tea and pie! & lots of choices… That would be the hardest part. But Yum!

Bio

A few years ago, the obsession with tea started. The cupboard got bigger and bigger, more swaps occurred, group buys, secret rendezvous with local teapassionistas… and that’s how you end up with 500+ different kinds of tea in your home. At one time.

Almost all of the tea was given away, sold, or otherwise shared. A few relics still remain. I now travel full time with only two carryon bags to my name. One quarter of those bags are tea.

It’s still a challenge to avoid the chipmunk-like hoarding of The Teas, yet, the lightness of being from having so little compels me more.

If I have enough, I’m happy to share. If I’m in your area, I’d love to swap, meet for tea, and explore together.

As for the day-to-day stuff, I’m focused almost entirely on Love, (yes, with a capital L), Spirit/Self, transformation, travel and my writing and speaking work.

What kinds of teas do I normally like?

YES: flavored teas, fruity, dessert, chai, and spicy (REALLY spicy).

A FONDNESS FOR: all white teas, malty black teas, any herbal or medicinal teas, strange/weird teas you can only get in one place.

ALLERGIC TO: strawberries, lavender

DISLIKES: any added sugars, grains, lapsang souchong, and overly floral teas – I might enjoy a Jasmine Green every once in a while, but unless it’s a creamy floral tea (think roses in a chai, or the smoothness of a floral note in a French tea), I’ll likely pass. Earl Greys are a hit or miss with me; heavy on the cream or fruit notes and I might like it, heavy on the blergamot and I definitely won’t.
