Well this is my #500 tasting note, and it was supposed to be something special (probably my second jasmine pu-erh toucha from Chicago tea garden), but I don’t have the time, energy or attention span today to do it justice. Sooo, Harney & Son’s Irish Breakfast it is. With Bailey’s. Because it’s that kind of week. Again.
(NOTE: This note refers to the bagged version.)
I usually drink Twinings decaf Irish Breakfast, so this is plenty strong in comparison. Malty and slightly sweet already, it tastes like it was made for Baileys! My hubby usually drinks this tea, but I recently learned (3/4 through the box) that it gives him headaches (although coffee and yerba mate don’t. Weird!) So he’s drinking it less and I decided to go full caf today since decaf is always a bit flat. Besides, mixing caffeine & alcohol feels edgy now that all those boozy “energy” drinks have been recalled…
WOW – congrats on the 500! Nice touch with the Bailey’s!
