I ran out of time over the weekend, after diving in head first, all of my plans of tea drinking my days away didn’t happen. So I grabbed the bag of darjeelings and brought it to work with me.

I love how green and vegetal this one smells when I pulled the leaves from the liquor. I really like this one. I’m really glad I decided to try these, because, YAY! I’ve found another kind of tea I like a lot.

This one is much more green than the other. Spinachy. It’s incredibly tasty and flavorful.

By the end it seemed a touch bitter, but it didn’t detract from my enjoyment of this tea.

Preparation
185 °F / 85 °C 2 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 5 OZ / 147 ML
Marzipan

I read somewhere that the first flushes are greener and the 2nd flushes are usually darker. Also that first and second flushes are less likely to have pesticides used on them because pesticides are expensive and they don’t like to use them until they have to, later in the seasons.

I’m finishing lunch now and then moving on to second flush.

Still relatively new to drinking teas, or so I feel, even though I’ve been at it for several months now.

I’m drinking more and more of different varieties of tea.

It’s been a few months that I’ve been on here. I’ve expanded from greens and flavored teas to now I’m all about the oolongs and some unflavored blacks. I’m mostly drinking unflavored teas now, but there are a few of those flavored ones that have a special place in my heart.

Pu-erh is also something I’ve recently found that I enjoy.

I have four kitties and a spouse.
