So I had this tea last night in the JusTea headquarters made by the JusTea media guy. I put milk and a bit of sugar in them because that’s how I can get around my hatred of the bitterness of black tea and it was quite good. They’re a little low-tech in their office, kettles and thermometers and pouring through a steeping filter into various mugs. Was cool.
This is actually my first time having their earl grey and it’s pretty nice. The flavour of the bergamot is pretty strong and I finally finally tasted the actual citrusiness of the bergamot in the aftertaste. It was quite nice. This is one of their machine processed teas since last year they were still teaching the tea farmers how to process their own and in order to have money to do this they contracted with one of the companies to do this and their other 2 current teas (Kenyan Black and African Chai). This year, later than now obviously, they will start offering their hand-crafted teas by the tea farmers and I had some of those at the tea cupping event last night and there were a couple of oolongs and they were REALLY good. And I don’t even love oolongs all that much normally. Search starfevre on Instagram for some pictures of the whole thing.

Oh wow, so cool! Had I known this was going on, I’d have attended as well. Or, was it open to the public?
I got it as a perk on their fundrazr campaign. I posted in the discussion section looking to bring a friend but no one seemed to want to on here…
I know they’re thinking about having a regular thing though, so you might want to keep up with their website and facebook.
I would have, Starfevre, but I was on my way out to visit family.
I’m not mad or anything, I understand about prior commitments. It just would have been nice to meet some steepster peeps. Maybe we can set up a get together. It’s not more than 3-4 hours of driving depending on the border for me to get to Vancouver.
Ooo. Meet-ups are fun!
It was great to have you here! So glad you could make it. We’ll be hosting the tastings more often from now on, and we’ll post all about it on www.Facebook.com/justeatea
Happy Steeping!
