drank Braveheart by Savoy Tea Co
2904 tasting notes

Now we’re talking. A little fruity, a little coppery, a little woody, and strong enough to jump out of the tumbler on its own. (1 1/2 teaspoons to 16 oz.) Added a little milk to get the ranks back in order and it was absolutely delicious.

Those of you who recall terriharplady’s Steepster posts know she often used musical adjectives to characterize a tea. Normally, I gravitate to baritones and basses—dark and deep. Braveheart is a brassy second tenor with lungs like Pavarotti.

(Oh, jeepers…that just completely derailed my train of thought…off to go find a tea that tastes like Rod Stewart or Joe Bonamassa….)

What does “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy” Rod Stewart taste like?

derk: I vote O’Connors Cream for that!

Or the ratchety no-name Keemun I used to get at our local store that they don’t carry any more. Now if you’re talking Rod Stewart covering old Sinatra standards and show tunes…

True! Needs more sass for Do Ya Think I’m Sexy.
